Hey there, hi there, Angela! Welcome to planDisney. We love helping Guests get the answers to all of their planning questions.
How special! I am so excited to hear that you are about to have a magical visit with your grandchild! I am happy to share that you are correct. You do not need to make a reservation or do anything in advance to bring your grandchild who is under 3 into the parks with you. Guests under the age of 3 are speical Guests of the Mickey. There is no expectation to bring proof of age for your grandchild. I am so excited for you to share this special day with your grandchild. I will never forget my kids' first visits and their eyes of wonder and amazement as they experienced it all.
While Guests under 3 do not require tickets or reservations, if you plan to make any
dining reservations, be sure to include them in the count for your party. I usually stuck to quick service locations when they were little, and oh, how I wish we had
mobile ordering back then! I love this feature in the
Disneyland app, and I can only imagine how helpful it is to not have to wait in line to order with littles. For dining reservations, I love
Goofy's Kitchen for a chance to see characters dance by your table and a wide variety of food for everyone to enjoy.
Angela, thanks so much for stopping by! I hope your visit is full of magical memories!
Carrie
