Ideas for a 17 YO young man

[Disneydenise]

We have been to DW several times as a family and had my DD and my DH's birthdays celebrated there. We are going for a fencing tournament at the WWof Sp in October which is a few days after my sons birthday so this is his birthday trip finally. I know that I can get him the t-shirt from the venue but can anyone give me an idea of something to surprise him with. He will be a JR in HS this year so I want to let him know how much we love him and it so difficult at this age without embassing him etc. I hope he will get a medal which will be great for him but I want to do something just for him being the great son he is. His Dad thinks I am silly but I think that this time is going too fast and I want him to remember this as much as his first time in DW.

That's a toughie...my first thought was a 17 yo young lady!LOL You might have read the trip report recently of the dad who surprised his son by flying his sons girlfriend to WDW for a couple extra days at the end of thier trip...I thought that was special. That might not be feasible for you though.

Does he like boats? Maybe rent a pontoon or do an Illumination cruise? The Breathless maybe??

How about one of the back stage tours or para sailing in CR?

You might check out to see who is at hard rock live , I took my dd who is a Jr in High school to see nickleback and it was a very good concert and it was neat because we were right up in front and i never been that close at any concert. Happy Birthday to your son! If you have any questions about the concert there Pm me.

Unfortunately, he's too young for a night at Pleasure Island.

How about taking him to dinner and La Nouba? It's pretty thrilling, and spectacular, too!

If he isn't already, take an extra (what would be a school) day and take him to Disney Quest. Make sure you go during the day, as long as it's not a holiday or a weekend, he would just about have the hole place to himself. I know it's what my 15 yo wants on our next trip.

Thanks I think I will ask him how he feels about the dinner at his fav and then let him go for the day to DQ. He will be with a group of fellow fencers so that will be a great time for all of them. They will have the weekend off and they get 3 days out of school. They need to make up work so it isn't all good but heck DW and no school. My parents would never let me do that.
