Hi Gregory!
Welcome to planDisney! Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is "Just Around the Riverbend." Before you know it, you'll be eating Mickey-shaped snacks and enjoying your favorite rides and attractions! Gregory, Walt Disney World Resort is truly a place where everyone can be a kid again! But, when it comes to ticket pricing and dining, kids ages 10 and over are charged as adults.
I have a tween myself and I have to say that Walt Disney World Resort isn't just magical for him anymore, it's also thrilling! Rides like
Slinky Dog Dash and
Avatar Flight of Passage have been great as he seeks more adventurous rides around the park. If your child is ready to take on even more thrills, be sure to check out
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and
TRON Lightcycle / Run. Both of these attractions offer
Virtual Queues to guests which you can join on the
My Disney Experience Mobile App.
My tween is also a big fan of water parks and we are looking forward to visiting the
water parks at Walt Disney World Resort on our next visit! It looks like Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park will be open during your visit. While the
Cross Country Creek lazy river is more my speed, you'd certainly find my boys on all the water slides! If you're looking for big thrills here, take a slide down Mount Gushmore on
Summit Plummet!
I think one of my favorite things about my boys getting older is that we can enjoy longer days and later nights in the parks. I have so many pictures of them sleeping in their strollers during fireworks and nighttime shows. Now we get to enjoy them together. . .and maybe even squeeze in a few rides right at the end of the night to close the park down!
Gregory, I hope you enjoy a visit to Walt Disney World Resort that is practically perfect in every way! Please stop by and see me or any of my panelist pals here at planDisney with any future vacation planning questions!
See ya real soon,
Kristi
