Boys Will be Boys!
There is plenty of mischief your boys can get into at Disney World! Did you know at Magic Kingdom you can challenge Gaston to a push up contest? Just be ready to bring it, Gaston has been known to blow away the competition! You can also attempt to try your strength at pulling the sword out of the stone, in front of the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel. Your lucky boy could be the chosen one and named King for the day.
Let your boys explore the ultimate tree house at Swiss Family Treehouse in Magic Kingdom. Explore 360 degree views of Adventureland as you climb through the open air rooms and living quarters. If seeking is what your boys enjoy, be sure to send them on Wilderness Explorers scavenger hunt throughout Animal Kingdom. There are badge locations throughout the park where a troop leader will guide them to earn their badge!
Build Your Own Light Saber
In Hollywood Studios, be sure to visit Tattooine Traders (outside of Star Tours- The Adventures Continue) to build your own lightsaber station! It has been closed for months due to supply shortages, but since February 2022 it has been back! Every Star Wars fan can custom make their own personal light saber and feel as though they’re joining to force to beat the dark side!
A personal builder will assist you on your custom lightsaber. You can build a single light saber for $30, or a dual-blade lightsaber for $45. You can choose what color light saber you would like; red, white, blue, green, yellow or purple. From there you can choose what accessory items you want to add to make your lightsaber completely unique and yours! For a more intense custom built lightsaber you can make a reservation at Savi’s Workshop. It usually takes more than hour and cost $219.99 per lightsaber.
Thrill Seeking Attractions
There are plenty of attractions to ride at Disney that will knock the socks off your boys! Head over to Adventureland in Magic Kingdom and ride the thrilling rollercoaster; Big Mountain Thunder Railroad, or cool off on Splash Mountain. In Tomorrowland you can ride cars at the Speedway, take a fast ride through space on Space Mountain, or score points by defeating Emperor Zurg on Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin.
