    Hello, I'm looking to purchase my family the 10 day tickets for Disney World Parks. Our arrival date is December 5. My son's 10th birthday is December 12. Will his remaining days be invalid?

    How ya doin', Melissa, and welcome to planDisney!

    Turning the big 1-0 at the Most Magical Place on Earth sounds absolutely wonderful. As you know, turning three years old and ten years old are hallmark ages when visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. At 3, little ones turn from honorary Guests of Mickey to big kids who need theme park tickets, and at 10 our little kids turn into Disney adults and need a different type of ticket.

    Unlike 3-year-olds who need to have tickets starting from their 3rd birthday, your not-so-baby boy is entitled to use his 10-day ticket for the duration of his stay since he'll still be 9 at the start of its use. Just be aware that on the next trip, it'll be time to include him in the 10+ years old age range. 

    Pro-tip: Make sure you stop at the front desk of your Disney Resorts Collection hotel or at Guest Relations to get your birthday boy a celebration pin. Everyone needs to know that y'all are there to party!

    Melissa, I hope I've been able to help you today. If you have any other questions, please feel free to come back for another chat!

    Happy planning!
