Hiya G,
Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your park ticket question! Oh boy—can you believe you’ll be strolling right down Main Street in just a couple of short weeks? And with your little one in tow, the magic is going to feel extra special! I have a 3-year-old daughter myself, and there’s nothing like seeing the parks through her eyes. Whether she’s giving Minnie Mouse the biggest hug, waving to Olaf from a cavalcade, or counting all of the horseshoes right outside the Beast’s Castle, she finds magic in the tiniest details, which makes Disney so unforgettable at this age.
So, let’s dive right into your question! You are absolutely correct—once a little Mouseketeer turns three years old, they’ll need their very own
theme park ticket to enter the parks. The number of days you plan to visit will determine how many days you’ll need to purchase. You can easily buy tickets ahead of time online through the
Disney World website or in person at a ticket booth near the park entrances.
Here’s some extra pixie dust: I highly recommend checking out the
Special Offers page on the Disney website before purchasing. For example, right now there’s a magical promotion where
kids ages 3 to 9 can save 50% on select tickets now through September 20, 2025. And you can customize your ticket with fun add-ons like the
Park Hopper option, which lets you hop between parks in a single day, or the Water Park and Sports option, perfect for a splashy adventure at Typhoon Lagoon. Just remember, these deals are subject to change and availability.
Also, since you’ll be visiting during the summer, don’t miss the
Cool Kids Summer offerings happening across all four parks! My daughters love the arts and crafts, the playful pop-up entertainment, and spontaneous character moments. A few weeks ago, my youngest even got to color with Clarabelle Cow—and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since!
G, I hope this helps you feel confident and excited as you prepare for your magical vacation. If you have any other questions along the way, feel free to stop by and visit us again.
See ya real soon,
Christina
