We will be at Disneyland M-F and she will be turning 3 on the Wednesday of that week. Wondering if I will have to buy her a 3 day ticket for the latter half of the week, or if not since it is only 3 days and we bought the package and started the vacation when she was 2? I am hoping to avoid it, but I don't want to be dishonest. And I am also thinking about celebrating her B-day in the park. HELP! lol TIA :)

We went in February with some friends and their daughter turned 3 while we were there but since it was their last day, didn't do anything about it. Seems crazy to waste that expense. Now, when we go in October, I will have to fork over the moola for Jyl's ticket cos she will have been 3 for so long. Oh well, still going to DL! LOL

She said that they have adult ages starting at 11...I'm pretty sure the Disney policy is kid = 3 to 9, but I let it drop.
