Hi Britni,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for taking the time to reach out to us with your question. It looks like you are planning a visit to Walt Disney World Resort early next year, I bet you are going to make some wonderful memories at the "Most Magical Place on Earth"!
Children under three years old are considered guests of Mickey and do not require Theme Park Tickets or a Theme Park Reservation. With that being said, while a MagicBand is not required for children under three, I have found that they enjoy having a MagicBand just like everyone else. Children under three years old will need to be included on your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel reservation as well as any dining reservations, for capacity and safety reasons.
I am so glad to see that you are visiting
Walt Disney World Resort with your toddler, Britni. Be sure to check out all of the
magical experiences for younger children prior to your arrival. The baby care centers are also not just for babies! They are a great spot to visit with your toddler with several amenities and provide a quiet space to recoup when needed.
I hope you have a magical time at Walt Disney World Resort, Britni. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to come back to
planDisney, we are always happy to help.
