    We will visit Disneyland with our 3 years old daughter on her 3rd year birthday. Does she need a ticket on the exact birthday date when she turns 3? If yes,we are unable to buy one when we enter her birthday date on the ticket sale platform. Please clarify

    Bonjour and Bienvenue, Elif!

    A birthday celebration at Disneyland Paris sounds practically perfect. Your little one is sure to feel like a princess as she walks down Main Street, U.S.A. towards the fairest castle of them all, Sleeping Beauty Castle. Don't forget to inquire about a complimentary celebration badge at City Hall! 

    While children under the age of 3 can visit Disneyland Paris's theme parks for free, once your daughter turns three, she will require a theme park ticket...even on her birthday. Happily, children between the ages of 3 and 11 are eligible for specially-priced children's tickets

    I see that you are having difficulties purchasing tickets for the birthday girl. I'm so sorry about that, but my research indicates that you are not alone in the struggle! My pal Emma recently spoke to a Disneyland Paris representative about this issue and was advised to change the year of the child's date of birth to make them one year older. This will allow you to book your family's theme park tickets without impacting the child's ticket rate. 

    Wondering what to do once you're in the theme parks, Elif? Be sure to check out this page on the Disneyland Paris website dedicated to recommendations for visiting Disneyland Paris with kids, and since you'll be visiting during the Disney Music Festival, you'll also want to check out the Disney Eats Foodie Guide to see if there's a birthday treat your little one won't be able to live without. 

    I hope this helps resolve your ticketing issue. If not, feel free to stop back by planDisney or to reach out to a Disneyland Paris representative via the online chat function for further assistance. We're both happy to help!
