How to tell the teens about WDW

[mondayj]

Hi there! We are going to WDW at the end of April. Our kids are DS 17 DD 15 DD 14 and DS 9. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out a fun way to announce the trip to them!
We will be spending a day at Universal for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter as well. My 14DD has been to WDW before, but is crazy for Harry Potter so I think this will be the highlight of her trip. The other 3 have never been. I know they'll be excited (I mean, hey, who doesn't get excited about missing school for Disney World?!)
My biggest concern is DS 17. I know he'll have a blast, and he's not one of those "I'm too cool for this" teens. But i think his initial reaction will be, " isn't WDW for little kids?" so I have to debunk that QUICK! Lol
Any help/suggestions would be so appreciated!!
Thank you!

There's another thread called "help me out with a surprise" a little further down that could help with ideas.

As for the 17 year old, if he's a thrill ride person, you might want to mention those (the mountains, everest, rnrc, tot, etc). And if he's competitive(this goes for all of them really) then mentioning Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story Mania might make him a little excited. My parents, brother and I like to compare scores at the end of both those rides.

For the family in general, watching Disney movies before the trip may remind them about how they loved them as a child and may bring back memories of good times. Just today at school, I had referenced Disney movies in my rough draft, and one of my classmates that was critiquing my essay applauded me for using Disney movies as references, as they reminded him of his childhood.

Oh, and Wonderful World of Harry Potter is awesome! Just went on a trip to there and WDW lat December. Try to do Ollivander's, I got picked and it was an amazing experience. (If she has a HP shirt, she should wear that, I don't know if it was luck or coincedince or what but I was wearing my Ravenclaw house crest shirt [I'm an HP geek too, and would totally be a Ravenclaw]and I got picked. )
