  • My baby will...

My baby will be 8 months old when we go, do I have to get her a band? I wasn't going to count her as part of our group since she was so little. Should I so she can come in with us?

Hi, That is a very important question and the answer is no they don't need a wrist band. Children 2 and under are not required to have a wristband. But when making your reservation you should let them know that you do have a youngster so that they know how many are in your party but you will not have to pay anything extra for them. Thanks and enjoy your stay.. Karlyn B
