What should we NOT miss-ds's are 7 & 8?
| Fri, 01-05-2007 - 8:31am |
Hello--19 days until we leave for Diney World. Our ds's are 7 & 8--just wondering what attractions/rides/activities were big hits for this age group? We are only there for 5 days and I want to make sure we use our time wisely.
So far the only planned activity is our brakfast with the characters--Chef Mickey. I reserved that. Should we do another character meal--or would that be enough?
Any other tips? We've been here twice, but the boys were 3 & 4 last time we went. My younger ds doesn't remember everything. I have to laugh--my then 4 year old was kissed by Cinderella, and he had lipstick on his forehead--he was in awe of her! I have the best picture of him with her!!!!!

:-) LOl I don't think there's a more subjective question. So for *my* 8 year old (girl) her don't miss are (she's standing behind me)
And she won't touch Tower of Terror (I love it!) or Rockin Roller Coaster - maybe next trip. She's been at 2,3, a mo shy of 4, 6, 7, 8.

My DS's were almost 5 & almost 8 last trip. DS5 was finally tall enough to hit all of the roller coasters that he has been dying to get on since his first trip when he was almost 3!
My boys love the pin trading. They also suddenly (last night of trip) decided they want to collect autographs. Who knew? Next trip it will be something different.
I was surprised that they loved the Festival of the Lion King show. And I saw pictures from the Nemo Show and that looks awesome.
So, if your boys will ride rides, I would say try them all!
Have fun!

How cute about Cindi's lip print on your DS's head! And LOL about how our hubbies get over these things!
Clara will be 9 this May so maybe that will help.

Lisa,
We have two ds. They are 9 and 6. Here are their suggestions:
MGM- Tower of Terror, if they like Star Wars, then they need to go to Star Tours and the Padawan training, Great Movie Ride, Fantasmic
Animal Kingdom: Dinosaur, Mt. Everest, the safari
Magic Kingdom: Stitch(although mom doesn't agree with this one), Space Mountain, Pirates of Carribean, Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Railroad, Buzz Lightyear,
Epcot: Test Track, Club Cool
They don't really have much to say about the Epcot places. They do enjoy the Kidcot stations. There is also a Stitch breakfast at the Polynesian. That is on our must do for our summer trip.
ETA: The Indiana Jones show is pretty cool as well according to them.
Also added for some reason I thought they continued the training academy to run throughout the year. Now I can't find it anywhere......Sorry about that!
In addition to everything listed, my DS's, 11 and 7, love Tom Sawyer Island (they both love the fort). My 7 year old loves the Indiana Jones Show, and they both really liked Soarin.
Neither of them like thrill rides all that much though...
