Disney for boys-???

My friend's father is turning 60 this year and they're taking their first ever family trip to Disney World! He's never been there- but he's such a kid at heart.

I told my friend they should do all the popular "kid" things- even if it would be ridiculous for a group of adults- like getting character autographs.

I know there are a bunch of things for little girls to do- princess breakfast bibbity beauty salon (or whatever it's called), but what are the popular attractions for little boys?

TIA!

For boys there is the Pirate League. Instead of dressing up like princesses they dress them up as pirates. Also at BBB, there is a knight package. They could also take the boys to the Harmony Barber shop on Main Street for or a haircut. They will gel the hair and put color and sparkles in it as well. Hope this helps.

It does thanks! I'm LOLing because her father is the only "boy." My friend and her sister are 27 and 30

There are character meals with Mickey - like Ohana (lelo and stitch and Mickey), Chef Mickey's, there is a breakfast with Donald and friends at Tusker house in AK and Mickey and friends over at Garden Grill.

We saw plenty of adults getting autographs and photos with characters. In fact at Chef Mickey's the last time we were there - there was a table with a couple and their mother (the couple was in their 50's and the mother looked at least 80). They got group photos, individual photos AND autographs when each character came to their table.

There is a pirates league but not sure if they will work on adults or if it is just for kids.

I have seen people over on disboards mentioning things like dining with an Imagioneer (the people who design the hotels and rides). For someone who is a kid at heart they might enjoy something like that.

I would especially suggest maybe looking into doing one of the MK tours. They have several tours that talk like Keys to the Kingdom. Where they talk about the storyline behind certain rides (haunted mansion etc) and then you get to ride some of the rides etc.

Depending on your son's age, he might be able to go on one of the Pirate Cruises that leave from various resorts. It's a lot of fun for them! There is also the Tea Party at the Grand Floridian. Don't let the name fool you though, boys go too. It's the Mad Hatter and Alice, and they decorate cupcakes.

P.S. Pirate's League is only for kids up to 12. They don't do adults unfortunately!
