Need Ideas for 4 year old boy at DW

[Brian McGee]

I have 3 kids 2 boys, 10 and 4, and a daughter who is 7. The older kids have ideas of something extra they want to do when we visit DW in mid August-parasailing for the 10 year old and the BBB for the 7.

My question is about my little guy. He's very active and would Quantum Leap into his older brother if he could, he hates the fact that he can't do all the same things. Given that he's already going to be excluded from certain rides due to height restrictions (43" tall) I want to find something special at DW that can be just for him.

Unfortunately, I don't think he's going to fall for the cool dude haircut as an equal trade for parasailing. Any suggestions of something we could do with him?

Thanks-this is such a great site.

how about a pirate cruise or Disney Quest??

Is he into Starwars? Build your own light saber at STUDIOS?

I agree with the Pirate Cruise..my son LOVED it at 4! He thought it was the greatest thing ever!

I am having the same issue with my 4year old son. There is so much he wont be able to do with his older brothers. I read here on the boards about the Pirate Cruise. I called Disney to reserve it and the CM was so helpful describing each one to me. We decided on the GF cruise at her recommendation during our trip in Oct. My son has seen the pictures and is so excited now!

There was tons of stuff my 3yo and 5yo boys loved to do. I would highly recommend the HS Jedi Academy hoping he could get picked to battle Darth Vader, or the MK Pirate Tutorial to fight with Jack Sparrow.

The boys favorites were buzz lightyear ride, goofy barnstormer and Indy Jones show at HS. Make sure he gets a picture with Buzz and Woody. Pick some favorite characters that he likes and make sure you get their pictures.

The pirate cruise at GF would be great, we couldn't do it because my youngest was only 3. They have to be 4yo. I wanted my boys to go together, we'll catch that next time.
