    Do children need any form of identification to activate military purchased tickets at the park? I know adults need their military ID, but am not sure if I need to bring anything for my 3 year old. Thanks!

    Hi Becca! Thanks for visiting planDisney.

    Children aren't asked to provide identification at the Disneyland Resort. Many of them wouldn't have any! So, I hope that's good news. It's one less thing to pack, which can be involved with little ones.

    Be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, and I'd suggest a refillable water bottle. With a little one along, I'd also suggest considering a stroller. Even if your little one has stopped using a stroller outside the parks, little legs get tired on a long park day! You can bring your own, although you'll want to check the current park rules for stroller guidelines, but you can also rent while you're visiting, which is convenient. Checking park rules is always a good place to start when deciding what to throw in your park bag. Rules are subject to change.

    If you'd forget something you need while visiting, there are plenty of merchandise locations selling necessities, as well as the Baby Care Center, which offers helpful amenities. We've made great use of the Baby Care Center when visiting when our boys were tiny.

    I hope you have a magical visit!
