Frequently asked questions

Is Disney worth it under 3?+

It can be — kids under 3 are free, which makes it a cost-effective time to go. But know that they won't remember the trip; it's a parent experience as much as a kid one.

Do toddlers need a Genie+?+

Not for most toddler-focused rides — wait times in Fantasyland are usually shorter than Genie+ would save. Use it strategically for one or two attractions.
