Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, David!
Yes, you absolutely must! When booking advanced dining reservations, you will need to include all the members of your party regardless of age. This ensures your table will have room for everyone, including Guests under the age of 3 who may need a high chair. An accurate count is needed to help manage service capacity and to comply with fire safety regulations. Therefore, your 2-year-old will most definitely need to be included in each of your dining reservations.
Children less than 3 must also be listed in your
Disney Resort hotel reservation. Up to 1 child under the age of 3 can be included in the reservation without counting toward the maximum Guest occupancy for accommodations.
The above being said, kids under 3 are considered Mickey's Special Guests, and do not require Theme Park Tickets for admission to the 4 Disney Theme Parks and 2 Disney Water Parks. Isn't that AMAZING? Which means that your littlest Mouseketeer will be allowed admittance to the Parks for FREE!
David, it's super easy
Planning for Preschool Kids & Little Ones. Please be sure to download the
Play Disney Parks mobile app before your vacation. Your children will enjoy playing the interactive games while waiting for favorite attractions. Read more about it on
this Disney Parks Blog article.
I hope you found this information helpful, David. Do come back soon with more Disney vacation planning questions.
Wishing you a magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort!
