Wow, and I actually thought this thread (usually a very hot topic) was going
really well ...until this particular post. None of the PPs said anything at all to "scare" the OP into making a decision one way or another about whether to buy their child a ticket. All any of us said was that there is a
chance Disney could ask, that it's in their right to do so, but that in all likelihood it wouldn't happen. And there
have been posts by people who've had their kids asked their ages - whether Disney made a stink about it or if the parents just decided to "fess up" and buy a ticket isn't even the point. The point is that it could happen and the OP should be aware of that.
I don't personally care if people choose to follow the rules or not - that's completely up to them. But they should be aware of what the rules are (and that's what the OPs original post asked)
just in case they happen to be there on the one day Disney actually decides to enforce their own rules.
I'm neither a WDW CM, nor a busy body know-it-all looking to play "morality police" for the Disney Corporation. I am someone that would really like to help people be prepared and know what to expect so they can avoid any potentially unpleasant surprises (or at least be ready for them) when they get there.
And now, I'm expecting this thread to go straight into the toilet.....
