Does your baby get a lifetime pass if you give birth at Disneyland?

Unfortunately, none of those babies were recipients of the coveted, magical lifetime Disney Pass. 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.



Despite a persistent and popular urban legend, a baby born at Disneyland or Walt Disney World does not receive a lifetime pass. While Disney is known for creating "magical moments," their official policy does not include granting free lifetime admission for such occurrences. In the rare instances where a birth has actually occurred on property—such as the famous 1979 birth at Disneyland—the families were often gifted small tokens like a commemorative birth certificate or a special "First Visit" button, but certainly not a permanent free pass. Disney is a business that meticulously tracks its high-value admission products, and a lifetime pass would represent a significant financial commitment. Furthermore, Disney discourages heavily pregnant guests from riding many of the attractions for safety reasons, so they do not want to create an incentive for people to stay in the parks when they are close to delivery. If you give birth at the park, the most you can likely expect is some very efficient help from Disney's on-site First Aid team and a very memorable story to tell for the rest of your child's life.
