Hi Tara,
Thank you for sending your great question to us here at planDisney. Visiting Walt Disney World Resort with little ones is so much fun! There is nothing better than experiencing the magic of Walt Disney World Resort through the eyes of a child.
With regard to
Theme Park Tickets, Disney requires guests over the age of three years old to have a valid Theme Park Ticket and
Theme Park Reservation to enter into any of the four Theme Parks each day. Children under the age of three do not require a Theme Park Ticket or Theme Park Reservation, they are able to enter with their grown up, it's magical!
If you are booking a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel stay, please include your toddler on the reservation, even though they do not require a Theme Park Ticket, it is important for the Resort to have an accurate number on each reservation for safety reasons. This also is the same for
Advanced Dining Reservations. Please include everyone on the reservation, as the Dining Locations do need to know total numbers for capacity reasons, as well as to prepare for the daily reservations.
Speaking of Advanced Dining Locations, I would highly recommend visiting
Hollywood & Vine at Disney's Hollywood Studios with your toddler for the Disney Junior Play n' Dine - Breakfast. My daughter used to love seeing some of her favorite Disney Junior Characters while we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. It's definitely a great way to start your day at
Disney's Hollywood Studios.
I hope you have a wonderful time at Walt Disney World Resort, Tara. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are always happy to help.
