My 2 1/2 year old goddaughter is tall for her age. She will be 3 on Dec. 12. My DH and I are making plans to be at Disney World the day after Thanksgiving. I was thinking maybe I should make a copy of her Birth Certificate just in case questions should arise about her age. Any suggestions? :animwink:

No problem here either, same rule applies. They can ask (probably won't though as even if they are 10 they may have bought the ticket in the past, therefore making the use of a child's ticket valid, so it's more complicated than the 3 year old rule) and if you say 9 or under that is supposed to be the end of it.

I hope I'm not starting something here, but I have a related question - My daughter is turning 10 during our next visit. Can we still buy a multi-day pass for a childfor her? (I must also mention that we are dreadfully honest and will have to tell everyone that she is turning 10 or we won't be able to sleep at night.) Is there a way to "upgrade" the ticket or something?

We had a similar situation when we went to celebrate our son's 3rd birthday. We were told that since our trip started while he was 2, he would not need a ticket for the whole trip. I would call Disney and explain your situation. I imagine that they will tell you that it is ok for him to use the child ticket the entire trip. If you are up front and not try to hide anything, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

No need to worry.....they go by the age your child is on the first day of your trip. Even if a child turns 10 (or three) on the second day of your trip, you still pay for their tickets for your entire stay based on the age they are on your first day. This is Disney's policy. It keeps things simple.

This is something that I have dealt with all the time everywhere. Both of my kids are very tall for their age and always have been. DS hit 6'0 before he was 12, and he hasn't stopped yet!) I have never been questioned at WDW but I did feel a little uncomfortable and worried if they would believe me even though you would think I would be used to the amazed looks when I told their age. :shrug: I think you will be fine there but by all means if it makes you feel better take a copy along. I have done the same thing because at some sporting events we have to prove the age because the height over the other kids is such an extreme difference.

(1) It couldn't hurt to take a copy.
(2) When my older DD was 9, one turnstile CM asked her age when she went through with a non-expiring child ticket we had bought a few years earlier. I was later told that if she had said 10 or older, we would have been asked to exchange her ticket at GR for an adult one for no charge.

You can do this once she turns 10, but really it isn't at all necessary because the rule is whatever you are at the start of the trip is how you're considered for the entire trip. The upgrade is meant for those with old tickets that were non expiration as mentioned.

Hello everyone.... Thank you very much for taking the time to calm my "fear" of being asked about my goddaughter's age. I'm going to make a copy of her B.C. just to be on the safe side. I hope you all have a safe and magical Disney World vacation. :wave:
