Special experiences for kids

[lookame]

We’re going for a big family trip in less than 60 days. We’re staying off site so things are opening up each day (we’re within our 60 day period this week but have to make reservations each night). We were thankfully able to grab 3 reservations for savis (one for my husband, one for my son and one for my nephew). We have 2 girls though which might enjoy an experience as well. One is 13 and the other is 8. I know the boutique and the droid depot, are there other expiriences that might make their trip?

getting a reservation at Cinderella's Royal table or other character dining would be a nice experience. I think little girls would be excited with CRT

I want to suggest the Garden View Tea Room for the girls but I'm not sure it has re-opened. DD loved that, it made her feel so grown-up (she was 7 at the time). We did just a regular reservation, not the special princess tea party.

Unfortunately the older girl will be too old for BBB or most other special princess stuff. I believe there are fairy godmothers who will come to your hotel room for a princess make-over, if she is still interested in that.

Would they like horseback riding? Or a wagon ride? Those are offered at Fort Wilderness. Is there a favorite character, maybe a character meal or prioritizing a meet&greet.

I forgot about the fishing and horseback riding. My neice enjoyed it when we rode horses in tennessee, my daughter was to young at the time.

Stop by Sir Mickeys for a sprinkle of pixie dust. The 8 year old could also get a princess outfit there.

Do you have a link for the fairy godmother‘s makeover? We were not able to get a BBB reservation. Thanks!

I found this info on another recent thread:

Your post reminded me that there are also services that offer something similar in your resort room. This was the first to pop up on Google but I there are several others:

If you join a Facebook group called Ear For Each Other, they have lots of former Disney cast members who offer services, and there are other options for in-room makeovers there as well. Just don’t be discouraged if your request to join the group takes a week or two, mine did but it got processed eventually. Once you join, there’s a menu at the top of their page where you can go to “topics”, and “princess makeovers” is pinned on that page. (Just an fyi because I couldn’t figure out how to search their page at first.)

If it reopens in time, Jedi Training at MGM was a blast! The kids all loved it.

I’m not sure but the 13yo may be too old for Jedi training. Most the kids I have ever seen doing it seem younger. Mine were about 6-8 when they did it. It is a blast, one of my favorite memories with DS24 when he was little. It sucks because 13 can still really want to do “little girl stuff” at Disney. Maybe a fireworks dessert party would be fun
