16 yr old and 12 yr old what may interest them the most?

We will have 6 days at wdw and staying at POP Century. What are some things to do that they may enjoy and that they will find interesting?

Tough question. I have teens to (16 and 13). They don't want to go to World Showcase, the Hall of Presidents show, anything where they just might learn something.

Are you talking about just the parks for activities? I would think all the thrill rides are obvious choices. Disney Quest is a teen favorite.

The options are endless. You should purchase the Birnbaum guide book to Disney, has some good stuff for teens. Really depends what your kids like and how much are you willing to spend.

I actually have links to two great articles that both deal with teens and WDW:

Teen Tips on Touring Alone


WDW for Teens

Hopefully, they'll be of some help!

I have two boys, 16 & 12. They are eager to spend the week at Disney. The parks interest them, they're even going to ride IASW with their mom. We did make a point of placing some teenager stuff in the plan too. We got the park hopper plus tickets ( a cheap add on in my view), so we will be hitting both water parks and Disney Quest during the stay.

The other thing we are doing is giving ech of them a day to plan. They pick the park, the itinerary, the meals, everything. I was pretty amazed at their first passes....well thought out, and I'm going to have fun too !!!

Good luck. Make them a part of the planning and they'll enjoy it much more !!

i myself am 16 and recommend disney quest and just checking out downtown disney in general. also see if there are any shows they may be interested in at the house of blues. and with parks a personal favorite of mine (as well as many friends the same age) is MGM. if you want to make reservations for dinner sometime i really enjoyed ohana's at the polenesian. they have very good food and games.the 50's prime time in MGM was aslo pretty good.

i'll probably get some comments for saying this since it's a disney board but i'll deal with it... both universal parks are really great especially islands of adventure.

Fletcher. Sounds right in line with my boys. They are looking forward most to MGM. Also, we are doing 4N/5D at Universal HRH after Disney.


PS - Mitch was a genius. Our whole family loved his stuff.....

My kids were not all that thrilled with MGM (Ages 15, 13,11). It took only half a day to do and rides were not as thrilling as they expected. They had more fun at Islands of Adventure. Having said that however, they were very happy just to be in Orlando.
