How does Disney know if your child is 3?

easiest way and least fuss is just to keep a copy of his birth certificate with you, and if asked the age question, you can confirm, and you will not encounter any problem or embarrassment at the gate. Since people try to sneak their 3 year olds in for free,Disney does sometimes ask for proof of age.
