I'm visiting WDW in March w/ my husband, son(8), and daughter(5). I've made reservations for my daughter and I to dine with the princesses, but what's something fun for the boys to do? I want my son to feel special too. Thanks for your help.

Jackie, I know that many parents wish there was a boy-themed experience like the Princess ones that are available. While I can't say there is one comparable, here are some suggestions; If your son is into Mickey Mouse and pals, Chef Mickey's (as well as several others character meals around Disney World with the same cast of characters) is fantastic The Hoop Dee Doo Review provides a cowboy experience The Whispering Canyon Cafe is a western theme too, and one that is a bit more affordable The Safari theme of Donald's Safari Breakfast certainly seems to have a lot of boy appeal If your son really likes sports, remember the ESPN Cafe Finally, don't underestimate how much he might like the princess experience. The cast members at these restaurants know that little brothers are being brought along as well, and they can make these junior knights feel pretty welcome too. Have a Magical Vacation!

Jackie,

- If your son is into Mickey Mouse and pals, Chef Mickey's (as well as several others character meals around Disney World with the same cast of characters) is fantastic
- The Hoop Dee Doo Review provides a cowboy experience
- The Whispering Canyon Cafe is a western theme too, and one that is a bit more affordable
- The Safari theme of Donald's Safari Breakfast certainly seems to have a lot of boy appeal
- If your son really likes sports, remember the ESPN Cafe
Finally, don't underestimate how much he might like the princess experience. The cast members at these restaurants know that little brothers are being brought along as well, and they can make these junior knights feel pretty welcome too.

Have a Magical Vacation!
