Hey there, hi there, ho there Jarrod! Thanks for stopping by planDisney where you're always welcome as can be.
As you prepare to return to a land of magic, there's so much to think about! From
new health and safety protocols to California residency requirements to updated attraction and entertainment offerings, you might feel like you're on a
spinning teacup as you plan your trip! The good news is, you do not need to purchase a ticket for your little Mouseketeer; children under 3 years of age can visit
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure without one.
I loved spending time in the Disney Parks right before my kiddos turned three. At two years old, they are well aware of the world around them, and everything is so magical! Even if your little princess doesn't meet the height requirements for the bigger attractions, she can enjoy so many classic experiences like
"it's a small world," the
Jungle Cruise,
Peter Pan's Flight, and more. In
Disney California Adventure Park, my youngsters have always loved
Monsters Inc., Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!,
Toy Story Midway Mania!, and
The Little Mermaid - Ariel's Undersea Adventure. My biggest tip for traveling with little ones is to try as many things as possible; you never know what will end up being a favorite!
I hope this helps as you get ready to blast off to infinity and beyond with your junior Space Ranger. You must be so excited to make your way back to the Happiest Place on Earth, and if there's anything else we can do to make your trip even more magical, come by again. Thanks again for sending your question our way, and we'll see ya real soon!
