What extras have you done with your boys?

[mommy2paisley]

My daughter and I are planning to do the cake decorating on our upcoming trip. She always enjoyed BBB and the mermaid experience at Pirate’s League. My son has done Pirate’s League and likes it. Wondering if there are any other experiences besides that for boys? He is 8. Anything at HS with the new Star Wars land maybe? Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Build a droid at Droid Depot maybe.

My kids did the Pirates Adventure Cruise at Caribbean Beach. I know they offer it at a few different resorts and my boys loved it

My kids loved it too.

We did a Savor the Savannah tour and our 11 year old loved it. The safari took its time so you saw things up close and getting to ask questions of the Savannah/animal keepers was really something he enjoyed.

Seeing the savannah at dusk and then using the night vision goggles to watch the lions was something he still talks about 2 years later. I think we'll do this in Dec 2020 when he's 14 since he enjoyed it so much.

Jedi Training for 4-12 year olds at DHS

Since you girls won’t be in a park, the hits could do something outside the parks too (to save on tickets). Fishing excursion? Renting SeaRaycers? Mini golf? Real golf? Archery or horseback riding at the Fort? We did the fishing excursion (but actually a bday present for DD not DS LOL—she loves to fish) and really had fun. Caught really big bass.

I mean, the price is nuts, but my twins went absolutely bananas over the Savi's lightsaber building experience.

In the past did the Jedi training. Next trip I have scheduled reservations at Droid Depot, and am buying tickets for NBA Experience. Will do Savi's Workshop maybe next year.

I agree with the PPs about the pirate adventures cruise. My kids LOVED it and have already requested to do it again next year.

My DS really enjoyed building a droid in Droid Depot and the whole experience of carrying it around SWGE, watching it react as we walked around. And he absolutely loved that there were mats set up (across from droid depot) where he could play with other kids with their droids. All the kids there were having fun.

I believe each of the parks has face painting if your DS would like to do that.

We're doing the Rhino tour in AK in April - so can't tell you how much they'll enjoy it, but my 10yo is *really* into rhinos and we'll probably get to pet one! I know i'm excited

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions! This gives me some good ideas! My son is 8 and daughter is 14, but we also have 2.5 yo twins, so we have to switch off when doing something special with one and have the other parent take the twins. The big kids help us so much, I really want to do something special with each kid, so this really helps me have so ideas! Thank you!!

I have twins too! They are just 2.5 though. Did you need a reservation for this? What is the price? I can’t imagine doing most things once the twins are older, price is doubled for it all!Lol

I didn’t realize this was a reservation thing, the Droid Depot! I need to look into this as well!
