    If I visit the Disney parks the week before my child turns 3, will she need a child park ticket for entry?

    Welcome to planDisney, Kelly ann! I can't think of a better way to start the new year than with a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! Thanks for stopping by with your question. 

    Mouseketeers who are under the age of three during their family vacations are Mickey’s special guests. This means they will not need a valid theme park ticket to enjoy the theme parks with family and friends. 

    During your adventures at all four theme parks, make sure to stop at the Baby Care Centers. They are a great place to change and feed your Mouseketeer. They’re also stocked with lots of baby and toddler essentials. My girls always felt more comfortable using the restroom at the Baby Care Centers. They are smaller and tend to be less busy, so there are less distractions for Mouseketeers who are potty training. 

    Kelly ann, I hope I've been helpful. Please feel free to come back to see us if you have any more planning questions. It's always our pleasure to help you with your plans!
