Favorite Teen Rides/Attractions at WDW?

[Tia1977]

Hey all you teens! We're taking my 12yr old (going on 16 lol) daughter to WDW for her 1st trip. Would any of you be so kind as to give me a run down of your favorites for: Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and the 2 water parks? All the advice I hear is geared towards younger kids. I'd love to give my daughter the best "teen" experience possible. Who better to ask than you guys (; Thank you so much!

Well, we aren't that much different. The only real difference is the amount of food we eat. Just because we're older doesn't mean we don't like the classics!

MK: Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, and PeopleMover
Epcot: The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Test Track, Spaceship Earth
Animal Kingdom: Dinosaur, Kilamanjaro Safaris

I've never been to the water parks so I can't help you there.

Oh my gosh! Her first trip?! I'm excited for her!!

MK: The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure and Splash Mountain!

AK: Expedition Everest and the Safari ride

Epcot: Soarin' and Mission Space (the Orange version, but she may wanna try the green at first)

HS: Tower of Terror and Toy Story Midway Mania

Blizzard: Slush Gusher, it's the less intense version of Summit Plummet. I'm kinda afraid of heights

Typhoon Lagoon: I know it's not really a ride, but I LOVE doing the Shark Reef snorkeling thing. I don't know if she is scared of fish and stuff like that, but it is really cool the wave pool is AWESOME there.

I hope she has fun!!

Also not a teen but parent to 12yo DD. She loves rides, the bigger and faster the better. None of Disney's rides are very intense but there are plenty she loves:

HS:
Tower of Terror
Rock n Roller Coaster
Star Tours
Toy Story Mania

AK:
Expedition Everest
Dinosaur
Kali River Rapids

Epcot:
Soarin
Test Track
Mission Space

MK:
Space Mountain
Splash Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain
Haunted Mansion
Pirates of the Caribbean

Of the water parks she hasn't tried Summit Plummet yet, I'm sure she will this year. She loved the wave pool at Typhoon Lagoon


She also really loves the shows, especially Monsters Inc Laugh Floor in MK and Flights of Wonder.

Have fun

Blizzard Beach is more geared towards the younger crowd and family. They have a giant wave pool that has consistent little waves. Also a lot of fun slides on either inner tubes or tobaggan mats. Summit Plummit slide that's like 80 feet high

Typhoon Lagoon
Known for the giant wave pool with the 6 foot waves. Also has little waves every hour. Really fun water coaster ride "Crush n Gusher" also have regular water slides. Shark reed where you can "swim" with sharks and fish

Id also check out the Blizzard Beach or Fantasia Gardens Mini Golf. Downtown Disney is another good spot for the teen experience
