Do kids under 3 get into Disney for free?

Not only do kids under 3 get into the Parks for free, but they also eat for free at select buffet or family-style restaurants, which is perfect considering most of them steal bites off mom and dad's plates anyway.



Yes, children under the age of 3 (specifically those who have not yet reached their 3rd birthday) receive free admission to both Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California. These "tiny guests" do not require a theme park ticket or a park reservation. Furthermore, children in this age bracket can eat for free at Disney’s "all-you-care-to-enjoy" buffet and family-style restaurants (like Chef Mickey’s or Liberty Tree Tavern) provided they share from an adult's plate. Once a child turns 3, they are required to have a "Child" ticket (for ages 3–9), which is slightly discounted compared to the "Adult" ticket (ages 10+). In 2026, Disney still follows the "honor system" regarding a child's age at the gate, but parents should be aware that if a child appears significantly older than 2, cast members may occasionally ask for the child's birth date to verify their eligibility for free entry.
