Prior to that, kids who were at least 7-years-old were allowed to be parent free in Disneyland and Disney World. But Disney is changing the age, according to a report in the Orange County Register.

There has been no specific instances causing the change, the report states. But we all know there are some parents who have dropped off their kids and let them go by themselves for a few hours. Whether or not parents what to do this, or more important other guests want this, has been in question for a while.
