How does Disneyland know if your child is under 3?

Little ones who are under 3 years old are special Guests of Mickey Mouse and will receive complimentary admission to the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks. You do not need to provide documentation for your little one's age, so your little prince or princess will be able to enter the theme parks with you.
