Hi Kayla,
It's great to see you here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'm happy to help you understand the children's ticketing at
Walt Disney World.
Small guests who have not yet reached their third birthdays are admitted free to the four theme parks. They are welcome to accompany their family members on any ride that has no height requirement. (By the way, there are more than
80 rides and attractions available for guests of all ages.) If a family member is using a
FastPass+ to access the ride, the little one can tag along without a FastPass as well.
Guests younger than 3 also can eat free at any all-you-care-to-eat buffet or family service meal, including
character meals, and they can also eat free if they share from the plate of others in the party.
For children ages 3 through 9, there is a discounted rate on admission. Because ticket prices vary by season, day of the week and length of stay, it is difficult to tell you an exact amount of the discount, but it generally amounts to a few dollars each day.
Since you have a small child, Kayla, you may want to visit the
guide for planning a visit with preschoolers and little ones on the Disney website. It gives you lots of great tips to make everyone's vacation more magical.
Thanks for your question. Please check back with us again if we can help as you plan your trip for late fall. Enjoy!
Wilma
