Hiya Carlos,
Welcome to planDisney! Oh, what a lovely birthday trip you have planned for your daughter’s third birthday! I’m sure you cannot wait to see
Fairy Godmother’s Apprentices work their magic on your little princess; she is going to love the royal treatment.
As you know, Carlos, all royal princesses, and princes will need a theme park ticket once they become three years old. So if she turns three officially on August 5th, then she will need a theme park ticket on the 5th and the 6th. She would not need one for the 3rd. Now, there is one caveat to this, Carlos, which is determined by whether you have a
Vacation Package or not. If you have a Vacation Package (which is when you purchased your theme park tickets in the same transaction as your resort hotel reservation), then your daughter’s age for the trip is determined by her age when you check-in. So, if you had a Vacation Package, your daughter’s age would be two years old for your trip, as that would be the age she was when she checked in. Therefore, she would not have a theme park ticket for the duration of the trip. This caveat exists because the system currently cannot accommodate two different ticket types within the same reservation booking. If you have a room-only reservation (you purchased your tickets separately from your resort hotel) or are staying offsite, you will need to buy a ticket for your princess beginning on the 5th.
I hope this was helpful, Carlos. Before I let you go, don’t forget to take pictures of your princess in Fantasyland after her makeover. There are always PhotoPass photographers in that area. You can also hop on the monorail and head over to
Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and get beautiful pictures there as well. Usually, right off of the monorail on the 2nd floor, they have a PhotoPass photographer available to take photos of princesses with Cinderella’s glass slipper (to find out when the photographer will be available, check out this
tip from my pal, Jenn)! It is one of my favorite photo spots, and it would be the perfect post-magical makeover. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
