Planning for bringing a first timer?

[All Tangled Up]

A friend and I are going to Disney World June 2018! I've been countless times starting in my childhood, but he's about 30 and has never been! I want to make this trip magical and the absolute best for him that I can for his first! We are staying at the Polynesian in a dvc suite. What experiences are worth looking into? One of our plans so far are Tiana's Riverboat Party- Princess & the Frog is one of our favorite films. I mentioned this to him and he can't stop talking about it. It is kind of pricey but I honestly think the experience will be well worth it.
Any other ideas?

I would consider doing another character meal to meet Mickey and the gang. Chef Mickey's food isn't great, but you meet the fab five in the Contemporary Resort (one of the original resorts along with Poly) and watch the monorail going through the building. It doesn't get more "iconic" WDW than that.

I would probably try to hit all the headliners along with the MK iconic rides (small world, Jungle Cruise, POTC). See the nighttime shows.
