    My son is 2 years old but is on the taller side. How do I prove that when purchasing tickets or at the entrance?

    Welcome to planDisney, Shanta!

    Planning a visit to Walt Disney World with a little one in tow is so exciting. Watching the World through his eyes is sure to make your trip so much more magical!

    Because theme park tickets are only required for guests ages 3 and up, your little prince will not need one. While your son may be on the tall side, you will not need to prove his age when entering. A Cast Member may certainly ask his age, but he'll likely answer proudly that he is two. 

    My kiddos were always off the charts for height throughout their young years, so I know how it feels when they are head and shoulders taller than their peers. No worries! They just get to enjoy riding some attractions a bit sooner than the other littles: they meet the height requirements first!

    Shanta, as you plan your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, be sure to check out some of these fantastic tips for Magical Experiences for Younger Children on the WDW website. Honestly, on my very first visit to WDW ever, I had a 5-month-old and a 3-year-old in tow; I was blown away by the thoughtfulness that's placed in the parks for parents of young kids--so much so, we've visited those parks a few times a year ever since. The Baby Care Centers alone make taking care of our littlest family members so much easier than almost anywhere else on the planet. Be sure to visit those in each theme park. You'll be so glad that you did.

    As you plan to pack extra pixie dust along with diapers, wipes, snacks, and that cherished stuffed animal buddy into your WDW bag, Shanta, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
