For boys ony!

[leshunlenese]

There is so much for girls at WDW that I am always looking for things for my DS in WDW. Since there are so many more options for girls, I thought Maybe we could list some things for boys! Hopefully I can get some ideas for this trip!

Pirates League- we have done this once and it was so cute!
Harmony barbershop- My DS was watching a Disney video and they put a mickey in a boys head and he has been asking for one ever since. I think I read they do not do the mickey anymore though?
Pirate and pals cruise
Agent P adventure in EPCOT
Disney quest- My 4 year old loved this last year. He loves Games! They have a space for younger kids like chuck e cheese
T-REX My DS still likes the princesses but We would like a meal geared towards boys and this is one we enjoy


What else can we add to this list?

Jedi Training academy
Create a light saber/Droid
Boat rentals

Lego Shop in DTD
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom
Pirate Tutorial & the treasure hunt in MK
DisneyQuest

Nephew is 5 and looooved the Pirate adventure thing (I have no idea what it's called) in Adventureland, it's along the lines of Agent P, but you get to keep the map. He's very into. . .excuse me, he IS a pirate, so this was right up his alley.

not just for boys, but when my guy was little, in addition to the things above, he loved taking a fishing trip and renting the "mouse boats".

I have 2 boys, and they always enjoyed the LEGO shop. I would add the Create a Lightsaber thing. And I think the Jedi Training Academy skews male.

 

[pdarrah]

Also, not "just" for boys, but Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom has been very popular with my son.

As far as character breakfasts go. When my son was small we did ohanas which has lilo and stich. Plus the food is served family style which is alot better than having to get your own.

Some more ideas, based on my DS


Pirate Tutorial & the treasure hunt in MK
H&V character breakfast (although age is a factor here)
Create a lightsaber
Jedi Training (although he won't do it himself!)
I think he would love the Sorcerers thing in MK, but we haven't introduced it to him yet
DisneyQuest
T-Rex

 

[evilqueenmindy]

May be a no-brainer, but Tom Sawyers island is big with nephew as well. It has caves, the barrel bridge, a fort with cannons, if I hadn't intervened, he'd still be up there firing rifles and cannons.

 

[leshunlenese]

Thank you for all of this. I just added your suggestions to the top! Anyone have any reviews from there activities they would like to share?

Toy Story Pizza Planet is a great place for boys to play and eat.

My son really enjoyed Tusker House breakfast and the wilderness explorers game in AK...we got to see and learn a bunch of stuff searching for all the badges

 

[Luv2Run]

Nephew loved:
-Indiana Jones show at DHS
-Sci-Fi Dine-In at DHS (he thought getting to eat in a car at the movies was "super cool")
-The shooting gallery in Frontierland

 

[momto3pirates]

My boys love taking goofy pictures on rides. They spend their time in line deciding how they are going to pose. Stuff like looking the wrong way on Dinosaur in AK, "sleeping" through TOT, looking at park maps on EE. It makes for fun memories.

Love this thread OP, I have two boys and I'd love to get some new ideas for them.

Some restaurants my boys love-
Ohana- breakfast and dinner
Coral Reef- they love looking at the sharks
Via Napoli- who doesn't love pizza?
Biergarten- buffet so they have a ton of options and they loved dancing
Sanaa- watching the animals from our table was amazing

Lego store, build Mr. Potato Head at DTD, and create a lightsaber/droid are always a hit with them.

even though my older boys are a bit 'old' for some of these things, they really get into the spirit of things for the sake of the annual trip and for the youngest. I also did not list a lot of other obviously fabulous things
My boys love:

The monorail and the contemporary. Very cool.
Test track. The riding and the car designing.
Toy story mania
Garden Grill. Who cares about Mickey? It is the spinning that they love!
the barnstormer.
Buzz light year Spin. Big competition for points even tho it isn't accurate.
The gift shop outside POC
The little interactive treasure hunt outside POC
trying to 'spit' on / spray people with the camels on Aladdin
Kali river rapids
The bird/ flight show at AK
They like AK in General much more than I do

Water parks!

Build a droid in DHS.

Also went you guys are saying "scavenger hunt in MK" do you mean the "Pirate's Adventure: Treasure of the Seven Seas" one that is like Agent P in Epcot? Just making sure I'm not missing something!!

 

[leshunlenese]

This is so great guys.. who needs BBB? hopefully we can get this to grow

Actually, our boys loved the Knight Package at BBB. I'm the mom of three boys, and not a princess fan myself, but they saw the Knight Package on the website and really wanted to do it. It was a fun way to do something in the castle without a CRT reservation (although we've also been there) and they walk away with fun hair. So at their request, we booked the Knight Package for all three and it was a ton of fun. I think they were 4, 10 and 11 at the time. It was an amazing value at only $15 per child (looks like it's $18.95 now) and included the following:

1. Sword and shield. Both of these items were relatively high quality - very sturdy. And they stood the test of time - the swords/shields are almost 3.5 years old now and even though they've endured countless sword fights, they still stand strong in our sunroom. I'm sure the retail value of these items exceeded the cost of the package. Again, not sure if the sword/shield are different now, but these were great quality at the time.

2. Spiky hair with choice-of-color gel (we went very easy on the color - just little bits,) Mickey confetti and the famous mickey head in the back. Our boys all have very short hair, so a little bit of spiking in the front was cute and didn't look too crazy. It was very festive and they didn't wash it out for a couple days.

3. Knights Oath and a few fun papers regarding their knighthood.

Is there really that much more "for girls" at Disney than there is "for boys"? Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Frontierland........ all strike me as being very boy oriented.

And besides...... isn't Prince Charming's Regal Carousel for boys?
