10 Tips For Taking Teens To Disney

As I said last week, I think taking teens to Disney is awesome.  That said, it’s quite a bit different from taking younger kids.  My kids grew up doing Disney at different stages, so they always assume they’ll have a good time.  However, if your teen has never done Disney before, or if they haven’t been in a long time, some teens may not know that they want to go.  The following are some tips for taking a teen to Disney, including taking a reluctant teen.

10 Tips For Taking Teens To Disney

1. Get your teen involved in the planning.

Most kids like to be part of the planning, but this can be especially helpful for a teen who isn’t yet convinced this is going to be the best vacation ever.  If he’s been thinking it’s all Dumbo and “it’s a small world,” then seeing the Incredicoaster and the Guardians Of The Galaxy ride are going to get him more excited.  Your teen may also get excited to help research places to eat both in and out of the parks.

2. Bring battery back-ups for your electronic devices. 

Phones are really handy in the parks, not least of all for entertainment in long lines. You can also use your phones for mobile ordering and accessing the Disney Genie service and Lightning Lane services when they become available. Bring a good, charged battery back-up as well as the necessary cords. If you forget, they also sell battery back-ups in the park that come pre-charged and ready to use.

3. Check out Downtown Disney or Disney Springs.

Downton Disney (Disneyland) and Disney Springs (Walt Disney World) have restaurants,and shopping that might interest your teen. Also look for bowling, movie theaters, and The Void which is a virtual reality experience.

4. Think beyond the parks.

This is important particularly if your teen isn’t sold on a Disney trip.  Instead of a “Disneyland Trip,” take a “Los Angeles Trip.”  The same goes for Disney World and Orlando. Both the Orlando area and the Los Angeles area have a lot to offer besides the DisneyParks.  There are other theme parks, sporting events, restaurants, shopping, escape rooms, and museums. L.A. has access to beaches.  From Orlando, you’ll have to drive a little farther, but you can find beaches as well as the Kennedy Space Center.  We’ve also started to tour local colleges on our trips so the kids can think about where they might like to go.

5.  Rethink rope drop.

  I’m a huge fan of making rope drop everyday.  That means being at the gate early so you can head in as soon as the park opens to take advantage of cooler temperatures and lower crowds.  However, it’s no secret that most teens would prefer to sleep late and stay up late.  My kids have experienced the benefits of rope drop often enough that they are willing to get up early most days, but somewhere around day 3, everyone starts to drag, and we need a day for sleeping in.  Instead of trying to fight it, we embrace a late start and plan on staying at the park until it closes. Late nights at the parks generally have lower crowds and cooler temperatures too.

6.  Pack the Dramamine. 

Older kids often like wilder rides.  To keep up, my husband and I now take small doses of Dramamine on big ride days.  If motion sickness bothers you at all, you might want to pack your preferred remedy.

7.  Plan for the food. 

Big kids eat big food.  Often.  Adjust the budget or pack extra snacks accordingly when you take teens to Disney.

Teens are all about the snacks.  Can you imagine giving that cookie to a toddler? You’d both be sticky for days.

8.  Consider giving some extra freedom. 

A friend of mine took 6 teenage girls to the parks for her daughters’ birthday.  Instead of trying to keep up with them all the time, she made sure they all had her phone number and knew when to check in.  Then she’d take the beverage of her choice and find a nice bench in the area for people-watching and soaking in the atmosphere.  The teens loved the extra freedom, and so did she. It was a win-win situation.

9.  Hit the teen-pleasing rides.

The following are some rides most likely to be favorites for Teens at Disney. 

In Disneyland:  Space Mountain, Star Tours, Buzz Lightyear’s Astroblasters,The Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run, and Star Wars: Rise Of The Resistance.

In California Adventure:  Soarin’, Guardians of the Galaxy-Mission:  Break Out!, the swinging gondolas on the Pixar Pal-Around, The Incredicoaster, The Grizzly River Run, Toy Story Midway Mania, WEB Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure, and Radiator Springs Racers.  However, don’t discount the idea that your teen may want to ride some of the so-called “little kid rides” as well.

Versions of many of these rides exist in the parks of Walt Disney World, but I would also add Expedition Everest, Test Track, and Avatar Flight of Passage.

10. Use Genie+

Genie+ is a new, paid service coming to Disney parks that essentially replaces the previous MaxPass and Fastpass programs. By paying $15 per person per day at Walt Disney World or $20 at the Disneyland Resort, you get to make reservations for the next available ride time for some of the most popular rides.

Additionally, you can pay per person, per ride to use the Lightning Lane on a few very popular rides, with the prices fluctuating based on availability.

So is paying for Genie+ or Lightning Lane worth it? You might want to consider using Genie+ for at least one day with your teen since it will help you avoid long waits at some of the attractions your teen is likely to want. Plus, at Disneyland, the Genie+ price includes access to your PhotoPass pictures as well. So, you get your teen on Space Mountain with a minimal wait and then get to download a photo of you both holding on for dear life. Sweet!
