Put a baseball cap on him. They will not ask questons. You will get in.
I believe they originally wanted to draw the line at age four but knew that people would do just what and six year olds would get in for free. Hence they droped it down a few years to solve the problem.
Don't worry about them loosing out on money. If they were that concerned about a four year old getting in free, they would ask for ID.
Disney is a wonderful place with excellent management. They will get your money regardless. They have the souveniers, and food consessions plus vending machines, etc.
Enjoy

I don't think I would do it. To only save $50 you are teaching your child bad habits and risking getting in trouble. The cast memebers that sell the tickets have several little tricks to check ages for younger children, so you may get caught right away.
Disney cuts the age off at 2 because most children that are 3 and up are tall enough to ride all the rides that they will enjoy. Two year olds have a lot more limitations because of height and such, since they aren't able to do as much as an older child, Disney allows them into the parks for free.
Obviously in the end it will be your choice, unfortunately more people do this than they should. It is one thing for you to tell a little fib to save some money, obviously you work hard for your money and want to save it where you can, but you are involving your son in this lie and teaching him bad habits. At this point he is watching everything you do and trying to be more like his mom, so he is going to pick up on these habits. While it may not be a big deal to you now, down the road when he is older those lies could become bigger and worse and result in real problems.
It doesn't seem like much now, but you never know what could happen, whether it is this weekend in Disney or when your son is older.
So, to answer your question, more than likely you won't have a problem.... But, is saving $50 worth it?

Yes you could get caught. If he was only 3 I might see you getting away with it but he's 4 and with kids that a big difference.
As for what other people are saying...yeah its not the right thing to do but growing up we did it all the time at WDW. However things have changed there and they might just notice. And from personal experience a cast member at the ASM resort actually encouraged my parents to put me in as a junior instead of an adult because it really didn't matter. So you might get away with it.
it's really a personal choice you will have to make.

You could get caught out if there's a security guard watching you when you take junior out of the stroller. So what you really have to ask yourself is: Is fifty buck worth getting kicked out of Disneyland? If you had to travel then surley it's a waste of money to spend however much money getting there, pay whatever admission you do plan to pay, and then get thrown out before you get to go on any of the rides. Doesn't sound too much likfe fun and I bet the kiddie/s would agree.

No, I don't think it will work. I'm sure that the Disney World employees have dealt with many people who try to do things like you want to to save money. I wonder what kind of message you are sending to your child when you are basically asking him/her to participate in a lie with you, and also, if you can afford to go to Disney World, is the $50 you MIGHT save, that big a deal?

That's not pretending, that's stealing $50.00 from a business, is that how you were raised? Is this what you want to teach your child? To be a crook? Where is your self respect? I'm ashamed of you right now. Shame on you!!!
Do you really think you won't get caught? Do you think you're the first one who would try to pull off such a stunt at Disneyworld? You're being very stupid. Shame on you!!!

You know its difficult to say if its right or wrong. I f you pay then he gets to ride, if you don't then he will cry because he cant. D you want to be bothered all day by a whiny 4 year old that cant go on the rides.

Wow Carly, do you like teaching your son to lie and cheat? Don't complain in 10 years when the lessons you taught him come back to bite you in the butt.
Yeah, it'll probably work but in the long run, I think you're losing a lot more than what you're saving.

Nope not at all. To get your child in for free they ask for proof of birth date. Do you actually think Disney is that stupid?
