    Do my kids under 3 years need park tickets

    Hiya, Gabriel! Welcome to planDisney! 

    Visiting Walt Disney World with little ones is such an amazing experience. Having brought my own three kiddos to the Vacation Kingdom of the World, I can confirm that some of our most magical memories have been from trips when they were toddlers.

    I’m happy to confirm that children under the age of 3 (so 2 years old and younger) do not need a ticket to enter the Walt Disney World theme parks. Make sure you still include all your kiddos (even those under the age of 3) on hotel and dining reservations, though. Even if they don’t have a ticket, they still count as members of your party. 

    If you need any help purchasing tickets or booking your vacation, don’t hesitate to call the Tickets and Hotel Reservations line. A helpful Cast Member will be happy to assist you!

    As you plan your Walt Disney World adventure, make sure you take advantage of the available trip-planning resources. You can find all the current deals and discounts on the Special Offers page, which includes theme park ticket offers for you and any older kids in your group. The Disney Parks Blog is my favorite place for updates and news about the Disney Parks, and don’t forget to check out the planDisney video library. There are all sorts of videos with useful tips for enjoying Walt Disney World with little ones. 

    I hope this information helps kickstart your vacation planning, Gabriel. Come right back to planDisney if you have more questions. We’re always happy to help! 

    Magical travels!
