Need help for a friends first time

[Elisa]

My friend is thinking about taking her 2 boys for their first trip to Disney and is wondering whether they'll really like the experience, being that the boys are 7 and 10 and typical "Boys". I tried to assure her that they most definitely will and gave her all of the reasons why, but I thought by having more of you chime in and let her know that's not just my opinion, it might make her feel better. Let's let her know what the true Disney Experience is for a 7 and 10 yr old boy. Thanks!!!!

My DS went last year for the first time and he was 8. He LOVED it! Still talking about the trip and can't wait to go back. He loved meeting the characters, which surprised me. He also loved the mountains, Star Tours, all of Animal Kingdom, and pretty much all of Adventureland and Tomorrowland. His favorite TS were T-REX and Sci-Fi.

Don't forget the waterparks either!

My step-son was 12 on his first trip. He had no idea what to expect and kind of poo poo'd Disney as being "for kids". Boy was he surprised! I don't think his smile left his face the whole time. Loved the rides, loved the characters, loved the shows, LOVED the EXPERIENCE!

My son was 7 on our first trip. He loved PoTC, Star Tours (a HUGE Star Wars fan), Indiana Jones show, the Laugh Floor, Carousel of Progress (still trying to figure that one out), Dinosaur, Soarin', Buzz... My point is there is plenty of non-baby, non princess stuff there. His favorite TS that trip was 'Ohana because he got to see Stitch. He also liked the Stitch attraction, much to the dismay of the rest of the family.
