Do you need a birth certificate for Disneyland?

Thanks for stopping by planDisney. We love helping Guests like us answer their planning questions. I'm happy to report that you do not need to bring a birth certificate or any kind of document to verify your child's age. If asked at the turnstile, you just have to simply share their age and you will be on your way.

No, Disney does not expect you to bring any proof of age for children under 3. The honor system is pretty easy to follow at that age, so you are good just arriving and having a magical time.

You won't need to show any type of proof of age for your young child. When you're at the kiosk to scan your ticket to enter the Walt Disney World Theme Park and Mickey turns green allowing you in, you'll simply carry or walk your under the age of 3 child right along with you.

No, you do not have to have photo IDs for your minor children. This is a common question, but one for which you don't need to worry. Disney does not ask for proof of age from children. IDs really only start to become an issue when you are talking about the purchase of adult beverages.

Totally up to you to decide what you want to do. Disney doesn't consistently ask for proof of age for young kids, but they certainly can if they want to. I've heard reports of them innocently asking the child how old they are - which more often than not means you're busted! Your call if you want to take the chance.

Bear in mind that Disneyland tickets are free for those under 3 years old. We went to Disneyland with a two-year-old Arlo, but it was just a week before his third birthday, which saved us a lot of money! Also, you don't have to prove the child is under three, so make of that what you will!

If you are using Standard Theme Park Tickets, you do not need a valid government-issued photo ID for admission into the Disneyland Resort parks. However, there are special tickets that DO require a valid government-issued photo ID for admission, such as military tickets.

If you are sailing on the Disney Dream to Bermuda or the Disney Wish to the Bahamas, I'm happy to share that U.S. citizens on closed-loop sailings can use an original or state-issued copy of their birth certificate plus a government-issued photo ID to set sail.

Turns out this myth is totally busted. While Disney Parks may pay for an ambulance ride to the hospital, they certainly will not award your child with any special privileges.

I'm happy to let you know that you do not need to worry about the name on your ticket matching your ID, unless that ticket is a special ticket, like the Military Promotional Park Hopper Ticket. Those tickets must be scanned for the first time with a valid ID.

To make these, Guests must be logged into their Disney account, which needs to be associated with a California address. Proof of residency may be requested upon arrival, and an official document such as a California-based college ID or a utility bill with your name and California address on it will work just fine.

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.

Of course, a 5-year-old will be able to remember a Disney trip when they're older. Still, children under 5 probably won't remember much. My first Disney trip was when I was about 8, and I do remember it (ok, not every detail, but I do remember bits and pieces).
