I’m really close to booking our first family vacation to Disney December 10-16th. My 5 year old daughter is excited for everything princess but my 7 year old son wants to know what fun things are there for boys to do at Walt Disney World? Can you suggest anything he might really enjoy?
What is there for boys to do at Disney World? What boy doesn’t like bugs? |

Dad’s Oh, boy Answer
Jennifer,
Wow, is there a lot for boys to do at Walt Disney World. (That’s a statement not a question.) Let’s dive right in.
Since you’re going in December, we’ll rule out the water parks but they have lots of great stuff for boys of all ages. From the swimming with the sharks at Typhoon Lagoon to the ski slopes of Blizzard Beach there is something for any boy at the water parks.
Now that we’ve skipped the water parks, let’s look at the parks …
You always have to start with the Magic Kingdom. At the Magic Kingdom, boys can …
- Shoot aliens at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
- Drive race cars at the Tomorrowland Speedway
- I’m even gonna throw in the Tea Cups they will spin and make sister dizzy (or if he’s like me sister will spin and make him dizzy
- Tom Sawyer Island (when it’s open) is a great place for rambunctious kids to blow off some steam)
- There’s always the Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade
- Adventureland is full of pirates, boats, spitting camels, magic carpets, tree houses and even a good place to take a nap
At Epcot boys will like …
- Test Track especially the cars in the aftershow
- What boy doesn’t want to be an Astronaut at Mission Space
- At Innoventions
- Then there are the Dinosaurs at the Universe of Energy
At Disney Hollywood Studios boys have lots to do (and we don’t even have to look at the wild rides)…
- The Jedi Training Academy has boy written all over it
- and it’s located just outside The new Star Tours
- The loudest show at Disney World Lights, Motors, Action!
- They can learn to be a stuntman at the Indiana Jones show
The Animal Kingdom is a park built for boys. From the animals of the Safari around to the Boneyard, this place is full of boy stuff. What boy doesn’t want to smell the stink bug at It’s Tough to be a Bug?
If the parks aren’t enough, all around the hotels there is boy stuff, from the Sea Rayers at the marinas, to fishing on Seven Seas Lagoon there is horseback riding at Fort Wilderness Campgrounds, there is a pirate party at the Grand Floridian …

Dad’s Bottom Line
Jennifer, there is a lot for boys to do at Walt Disney World. This might be a big list, but it just scratches the surface of the things for boys to do.
