Disney seems to cater a lot to princesses, doesn’t it? But as a momma of boys, I am always looking for way to make my guys feel like their trip is just as magical! When you’re a parent of boys, you see things from a whole different perspective, don’t you? That’s why I want to share with you A Perfectly Pirate Day at Disney-Tips on Touring the Parks with Boys!
- Attractions: Star Tours, Rock N Rollercoaster, and Toy Story Mania are best for boys at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And, don’t forget the action and adventure of the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular show, Pirates of the Caribbean-Adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow, and Lights, Motor, Action Stunt Show. While at Magic Kingdom, you want to make sure your boys enjoy Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, the Tomorrowland Speedway, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Haunted Mansion. A Pirate’s Adventure-Treasure of the Seven Seas is not to be missed as well! And since you are on a “Perfectly Pirate” mission, Pirates of the Caribbean should top your list of “must dos” when touring with boys!
- I think EPCOT is a great park for boys. There are so many fun, science related experiences in Innoventions East and West. My boys can spend hours there! Test Track is also a “must” for the boys. They can design their own awesome car, and then take it on a test drive. Plus, the cars on display at the exit of the ride are always something fun to look at and make great photo opportunities. Another great experience is Ellen’s Energy Adventures at EPCOT and Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure. Are you visiting Animal Kingdom? Make sure to take them on the Kilimanjaro Safari Ride. There’s no other experience like it in the Disney Parks, and you really feel like you are on a safari adventure. Also at Animal Kingdom, my boys enjoy It’s Tough to be a Bug, and exploring the animals on the nature trails. Kali River Rapids is an adventure-but be ready to get wet!
- Dining: Boys are always hungry! And, Disney has some great dining locations for boys. For table service dining, Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is a great opportunity. Minnie Mouse is the only “girl” character there, so they won’t feel overwhelmed by the “girly factor” that some of the princess dining experiences can bring. Tusker House at Animal Kingdom is always a winner with boys-Donald and his friends visit your tables in this rustic, African restaurant. If you have a sports lover in your family, ESPN Zone at Disney’s Boardwalk is perfect for the guys. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, your little pirate might enjoy breakfast or lunch with Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates-as well as several Disney Junior Friends-at Hollywood and Vine.
- Special Experiences: With the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique being such a winner with the ladies, I know a lot of parents are looking for a special experience to enjoy with the boys. The Pirates League at Magic Kingdom is a for sure “must do”. Here, the boys get made over to look like a pirate, take a pirate oath, and even leave with a eye patch and bandana! Another great experience for the adventurous boys is the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. You make your way through the park, getting clues, and collecting cards. I don’t know about you, but my boys always want to know how things work. If that’s the case, the Keys to the Kingdom, Backstage Magic, or Behind the Seeds tours could be something your boys enjoy. Last but not least, what is a “Perfectly Pirate” Disney day without a Pirates and Pals Fireworks cruise?
Look at all those awesome experiences your boys will love at Walt Disney World! What experiences do your boys love? I have a lot of experience traveling to Walt Disney World with my twin boys, and I’d love to create the Perfect Pirate Disney trip for YOUR family!
