Hello Madison, and welcome to planDisney! November is a great time to visit the Disneyland Resort. Happy early birthday to your little one!
You have it right, Madison. Guests ages two and younger do not need a theme park ticket or reservation when visiting the Disneyland Resort with family and friends. However, once a child turns three, they will need a
theme park ticket and a reservation.
Madison, there's something extra special you can arrange for your daughter once she turns three.
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique provides royal transformations for kids ages three to twelve. There are a few packages available to choose from, and it's a truly memorable experience! Reservations are required, and you can make one
on the Disneyland website.
Once you're in the park, grab a complimentary birthday button for your daughter to wear! Many retail locations as well as City Hall on Main Street, U.S.A. have them – just ask a Cast Member. You can also get an "I'm Celebrating" button for yourself. We've experienced Cast Members, Characters, and even other Guests wishing us a Happy Birthday after noticing the button. It adds a little extra pixie dust to the day.
It would also be fun for your family to experience attractions with a birthday theme.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride has a birthday scene at the end, and you can go for a spin at the
Mad Tea Party. We've seen the Mad Hatter there a few times celebrating his "unbirthday."
You'll have a chance to enjoy some of the 70th Anniversary Celebration festivities, too. I'm intrigued by the
Key to Disneyland experience – you'd purchase a key and locate the lock station in each land to activate lighting effects and music. And once you visit each station, you can unlock a special surprise inside the key itself!
Madison, I hope you and your family have a wonderful time at the Happiest Place on Earth. If you have any questions between now and then, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
