While it may appear to be all smiles, the gates of Disney’s Magic Kingdom and other Theme Parks are better guarded than one might think. And one aspiring Guest found that out the hard way.
The Walt Disney World Resort offers free access to little Guests two years old and younger, and every once in a while, we find a parent trying to take advantage of that rule.
In this more recent case, a bystander caught a mother trying to pass her 5-year-old child for two years old at EPCOT. Sure enough, she runs into some trouble at the turnstiles.

We at Disney Fanatic reported a similar situation last year where a woman was actually successful in sneaking her child into a Disney Park using blankets and her stroller. While she received significant pushback from the internet, and it is unclear what actions were taken by Disney, she can still say she got away with it. This other woman, on the other hand, not so much.

TikTok user @inurbusinesspt1 shared the story in a three-part series where the woman was held up at the gate and denied entry.

Today’s Disney World Guests over the age of two need a valid Theme Park Ticket and a Theme Park Reservation in order to access Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And security measures are in place to ensure that Disney World Theme Park Tickets are not transferable in any way.
It is unclear if this mother and her family faced any further action from Disney Cast Members beyond a refusal of entry and the outright embarrassment of being caught by everybody. But it goes without saying this is one Disney “hack” that should not be attempted.
