Re: taking children's friends on vacation?

Thanks! I guess the important thing is that the statement is signed by a notary. I hadn't thought of that.

Has anyone taken their child's friend with them on vacation to WDW?

I'm trying to determine what information I need in order for the unrelated child to travel with my family. This is what I am thinking of so far:

Copy of birth certificate
List of any allergies
Copy of health insurance card
Emergency Contact Information (both parents + one additional person)
Signed statement that my husband and I are permitted to take the child on vacation, and to administer emergency medical care

Some of us are flying, so is there anything specifically I need for the flight in terms of documentation? The unrelated child is 11, so she doesn't have a driver's license/id.

Also, is there anything else I might need when I check-in?


Actually, you aren't *required* to have anything, but in the event of an emergency, you may find having the child's health insurance information and a notarized "minor authorization" letter. The letter is pretty much this:


************************************
I, ___(PARENT'S NAME)___, hereby authorize ___(YOUR NAME)___ to have care, custody and control of my minor children ___(CHILDRENS NAMES AND AGES)___, and to act and contract on their behalf in connection with the vacation commencing on ___(DATE)___
Signed: ___(PARENT'S SIGNATURE)___
Date: ___(DATE SIGNED)___
State of ___________
County of________________
Subscribed and sworn to before me this day of ___(month)___ of ___(year)___, by
Notary Public
************************************

As for air travel, there is no need for ID or any sort of proof of age or even permission to travel for children under age 18.
