Ideas for a 12 year old girl....??

[MNSusan]

We have friends with four daughters, ages 5, 9, 12, 14 who are going to WDW for the first time this fall. The two youngest are going on the Pirate's Cruise from the Grand Floridian, and the oldest is going parasailing with her mom.

We're trying to come up with a special thing the 12 year old could do. She isn't into thrill rides at all - is more of the artistic, designs-her-own-website type.

Any ideas??

perhaps something special at epcot? i'm not really sure what special types of activities and such are offered there, but when you described her, that was the first park that came to mind.

It's pretty costly but what about Dine with a Disney Imagineer?

maybe cirque du soleil? It sounds amazing, i can't wait to see it, but is a bit expensive so we're going to check out when my daughter is older.
Also there is swimming with sharks offered at typhoon lagoon. again , never been but will in the future.

I had a blast with my 11 yr old dd in the "world."

Downtown Disney is fun, they have a place where you can get picture of yourself done, make your own Mr Potato head all in Disney stuff. Does she like shopping? Also DisneyQuest is in DTD and she might like that.

do a search here for her age ...

My 11 year old daughter loves the water mice you can rent at the marina at the Poly. I thing GF has them too. She will need someone to ride with but it is really fun for a preteen...my 40 something husband thinks it is cool too!

you could also do the grand tea at the grand floridian for a very "mature" afternoon

how 'bout a "my first manicure" and/or "my first facial" at the spa at the grand floridian... or any other spa service... maybe combined w/some shopping or people watching?

another thought is the keys to the kingdom tour at mk?
