Hey there, Madyson!
I'm so happy to welcome you to planDisney, and thanks so much for sending us your question! How exciting that you'll be visiting Walt Disney World Resort during the Halloween season. It's such a fun time of the year to be at the Most Magical Place on Earth! The atmosphere is festive without being too scary, making it a fun time for Guests of all ages.
One of the things I love most about visiting during this time of year is how Disney transforms the resort with just the right amount of Halloween magic. Whether you're planning to attend
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or simply enjoy the seasonal décor and entertainment offered throughout the parks, you're in for such a treat.
Children under the age of 3 are considered Mickey's special Guests and do not need a theme park ticket to enter Walt Disney World. However, once a child reaches their third birthday, they are required to have their own valid admission. Even though your little one was 2 years old when you made your reservation, Disney determines ticket requirements based on your child's age at the time of your visit. Since he will be 3 when you arrive, you'll need to
purchase a ticket for him before entering the parks.
There's actually a
fantastic offer available for 2026 that could help you save. With the purchase of a qualifying Walt Disney Travel Company vacation package that includes a stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel and a dining plan for all Guests ages 10 and older in your party, children ages 3 to 9 can receive a
Disney Dining Plan at no additional cost.
Madyson, I hope this information helps as you put the finishing touches on your vacation plans. If there's anything else you'd like to know before your visit, please don't hesitate to stop by planDisney again. We're always happy to help make your Disney dreams come true!
Magic Awaits,
Kami
