Hi Kaitlyn!
I'm so excited you are looking towards 2017 for a visit to
Walt Disney World. We at the Disney Parks Moms Panel love to do what we can to add a little magic to your vacation so you have come to the right place with
your question. Children under 3 are not charged
admission fees to Theme Parks. So yes, you are correct-- only 1 and 2 year olds are free. My granddaughter just turned 3 so she just made that jump and we will be paying for her next time we are there. It is good to know, however, that children ages 3-9 still pay less than adults. I'm very happy about that and know you will be too!
Also, while you are planning, you might want to take a look at
these ideas for a Walt Disney World vacation with little ones. It is a fantastic resource that will provide a lot of wonderful information for you along the way.
Thanks for stopping by. Please come back if we can do anything else for you.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
