Have you heard? Babies born at Disney Parks receive lifetime Annual Passes!

Rosa and Elias Salcedo visited Disneyland 44 years ago to celebrate the 4th of July holiday.
One woman in 1984 gave birth to her baby at Disneyland's first aid station after going into labor while she waited for the rest of her family to ride Space Mountain.

Whether they are working directly in one of the parks or they're at one of the resort hotels or Disney-owned shops in Downtown Disney or Disney Springs, they receive a pass that will allow them to enter any of the Walt Disney World or Disneyland theme parks for free.

Children under the age of three are Guests of Mickey Mouse and do not require a ticket or theme park reservation. The age of a child at the beginning of a vacation is the age that determines whether or not a ticket is needed.
You will not need to show proof that your daughter is under three when entering the Walt Disney World Theme Parks. It's pretty much on the honor system. If for some reason you are really concerned and want to ease your mind, you could always make a copy of her birth certificate and pack it in your park bag.
Walt Disney World's policy is that children under three years old are free, so if your daughter is three, she will need valid theme park tickets and theme park reservations.
