    My son is 2 and looks older for his age cause he’s a big boy but he turns 3 soon. Am I going to need proof of his age?

    Greetings, Cristal. Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney. I'm happy you are here!

    A trip to Disneyland is so magical with little ones! As someone who took all three of my Mouseketeers when they were babies, I appreciate your wanting to plan ahead. Cristal, no photo ID is necessary for your little ones under age 3 to be admitted to the Disneyland Resort theme parks. That being said, I'll admit that I always had a copy of their birth certificates on my phone just in case. My oldest kiddo was (and still is) off-the-charts in height, so I wanted to have proof of his age in case a Cast Member inquired. This is not necessary, but it gave me peace of mind to have it!

    Cristal, I want to make sure you know about the Baby Care Centers in each theme park before your visit. The one in Disneyland Park is at the end of Main Street, U.S.A., by the Little Red Wagon. The one in California Adventure Park is in San Fransokyo Square by Ghirardelli. Each center has a nursing area, toddler-sized toilets, changing tables, and a vending machine (in case you forget diapers, sunscreen, or snacks). I spent a lot of time here when my kids were young, and it is a fantastic resource!

    Another thing that would help you have a magical visit, Cristal, is using the Disneyland Mobile App to find attractions and rides perfect for your little one.  From the app home screen, click on the location pin at the bottom of the screen. This opens the Disneyland Resort map, where you can select "Attractions" at the top of the screen and then click "Filter." This will bring you to all options, including the height filter, where you can select "Any Height." In Disneyland Park, your little one can enjoy most of the rides in Fantasyland, the Main Street vehicles, the Jungle Cruise, and more. At California Adventure, enjoy The Little Mermaid, Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind, and Monsters, Inc.!

    Cristal, I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions! 

    See ya real soon,
    Melissa
