Must do's for boys

[taraaplin]

Anyone have any suggestions on what some of the "must do's" for boys are. We have three 10, 7, and will have turned 2 day before trip! We booked pirate league (different appointments because they were booked and we got the last two left). That is all we have that is extra and geared for boys.

Pirates and Pals Voyage maybe? I haven't done it before, but have it planned for this upcoming trip with my DS5.

Pirates League was fun, we did that last year. I just wanted to mention that you may want to try added your 3rd son as a walkup when you go with the other 2, you may luck out. When we went, my son was getting pretty burnt out and we knew we weren't going to last until his late afternoon appointment. I was able to walk up after lunch and get it moved to earlier. You never know, you may luck out!

If they are into Star Wars, Jedi Training is fun. However you will need to get to the park early to sign up for that and the baby would not be old enough to participate yet.

I am sure they will be happy just being there. My boys are!
Have fun!

For my DS8 we do Jedi Training always, have done Pirates leaque once(last September - he loved it) and Pirates and Pals.

For each park our must do for boys are:

MK
Buzz
Tomorrow Land Speedway
Jack Sparrow Pirate Tutorial
Pirates of the Carribean

DHS
Indian Jones
Lights Motors action stunt show
Toy Story Mania
Star Tours

EPCOT
Agent P's worl Show Case adventure

Obviously we do tons more when we are at the parks but these are some of my DS's favorites.

My boys loved Disney Quest at DTD. I wasn't too fond of it but it was great when it was raining or when we needed to escape the heat.
They also loved the Shark Reef at Typhoon Lagoon.
Don't miss Monster's Inc Laugh Floor-great humor for young boys.

 

[letsgoreds]

HS
Jedi Training Academy
Stunt show

MK
SOTMK...the boys wanted to hit MK every day to pick up more free cards.

Meal...Hoop De Doo was a blast with boys that age.

My boys are 8 and 6 and this is the third year in a row we are going. Their favorite park has been HS. They love TSM, Indiana Jones Stunt Show, Lights Motor Action, Star Tours, Jedi Training (it was a highlight of our trip last year...especially for DH and me), meeting Phineas and Ferb, and Fantasmic (they love the villains).

This year DS8 is really looking forward to the Agent P's World Showcase Adventure in EP.

 

[danceteachermom]

When you need a break from walking and lines at MK do Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor....your kids will love it and it is a nice break. We discovered it last spring break after passing it by several trips. Then we went 4 times in the week we were there. Fun.

My son did Jedi Training in January for the first time and he loved it. Get there at rope drop and send one parent with boys to sign up and the other with tickets to get TSM fast passes.

The Honey I shrunk the Kids movie set at DHS is also a favorite and a nice break from lines.

My kids love Disney and the parks but don't neglect that for many kids the best part is the resort pool.....schedule some pool time.

 

[Wendybird55]

My son (now 6) loves the 2 hr fishing excursion....and so do I and DH. The first time he went he was almost 3 and enjoyed it. e have been twic since and have another planned for out trip in August.

You have your own boat with all the gear, a captain and a cooler for drinks. The captian will help you with everything - baiting, reeling in, etc. It's catch and release and all the times we went we caught alot of bass. It's fun for my son as he catches quite a few fish and often enough to keep him interested and having fun.

We take it from YC (there are other locations such as GF, OKW, etc.) We have taken the 10am and have gotten many fish. There's a 7am, but too early. We have breakfast at Cape May around 8:30is and then head to YC for fishing and when we get back it's a hop skip and jump to EPCOT or DHS,

We've fished in World Showcase, in front of DHS and by the YC & BC resorts. Our captain has been Rick all times (we requested him for our next trip) and it's great. I fish a bit, but mostley enjoy watching DH and DH and enjoy the relaxation ad view on the boat.

It's about $270 and we tip the capatain, But the Brbaum book usually has a 20%off coupon which helps. I highly recommend it.

We did Pirates and Pals and it was OK...DS enjoys fishing more. He also likes mini golf - we did Fantasia. Plus we plan on trying out the new bowling alley in DTD.

 

[MarcyMouse]

My boys (7 and 8) loved the new test track. They loved designing their own cars, then seeing what their score was at the end of the ride. They wanted to go on again and again to try to improve their scores.

 

[DisneyDiana]

I also have to say Disney quest. It is my son's favorite place in all of Disney.

 

[ChristaDeVil]

My son is 12. I asked him his favorite things to do in each park:
MK - BTMRR, Splash, HM, Space, eating popcorn, watching MSEP, looking at everything on Main Street.
Epcot - World Showcase, Test Track, the food
Hollywood Studios- RnRC and ToT, Starring Rolls cafe for cupcakes
AK- rides, the Tree of Life (just looking at the carvings), and KS
DTD- Disneyquest, the stores, Raglan Road

There you go. Straight from a 12 year old boy. He also wanted to add this -
