My teen loves going to Disney world and now as a teen he is more into all the food of course!What is also neat, he’s ran into friends he met on DCL while in WDW and they’ve gone off doing things together for a day! With all the internal transportation it’s much easier to let your teens have some freedom at Disney.
I cruise with my teen son and even though he isn't an over the top Disney movie or character fan, but he loves DCL and is excited for our 3rd trip. He loved the teen club on our first trip and didn't want anything to do with it last time. We do a 1 day park visit before and or after if we sail out of Canaveral. His favorite park is Hollywood at WDW, he likes Universal, and we are considering SeaWorld this time.
My "kids" age 30 and 34 still love Disney and they have been going since 7 months and my oldest at 4. They have Disney plus subscriptions and love the new releases of Disney Movies . They also watch podcasts and enjoy any Disney news
Great show! Have 2 older teens now, years of Disney/Universal visits, and it's such a different dynamic. Princess meet/greets have changed into HHN and Velocicoaster, but still so fun! and yes, LOTs more opinions and moods to deal with. We've had days where we've all split up and done our own things most of a day, then just meet for a meal or a big ride, just to make sure everyone is getting to do what they want.
Elaine I think it's very important to not stress out your teenagers all year for the Disney trip's. When they're trying to bring you money and they're doing without because you're Disney addiction you can't constantly tell them We can't do this or you can't have this because of your Disney trip's.
I have two teenagers. They have been going to Disney with us since they were 3 and four years old. They still love going with us every year. They enjoy planning all aspects of our family trips. They always have the option of taking a day off from the parks and hanging out at the hotel for part of a day, or go to a different park from us for a day.We have stayed at boulder ridge for a few trips. We love that hotel. We just stayed at the Art of animation suites in November, for the first time. This hotel was perfect.
my 10 year old is now bored with Disney and shes been going since she was born. Even my wife says she dont care if we go now. We are in the vacation Club and have stayed at every DVC resort now so its loosing its magic a bit. I still enjoy the resorts. we dont visit the parks as much now either since they want too much for the tickets these days. Im on the fence of selling our DVC contract cause life is just different now than it was in 2007 when we bought it. Almost $1700 for our yearly dues for only 200 DVC points. People forget about having them yearly dues that go up 10% a year. after 15 years if owning DVC those costs are getting almost too high. the nice thing is you get a luxury room for the price of a vale resort when you buy DVC. original cost was $93 a point at Saratoga so we bought 200 points when they were on sale. its been paid off for years now. we've considered renting our points too. ill probably just brake down and pay it and take a trip in September when the cost is cheapest for everything. Just getting there costs us over $1000 so its something to think about as well.
I still go to Disney with my daughter(now 21 years old) and her best friend & I have the opposite experience....I always involve them in the entire planning process from what parks we're going to visit to what restaurants that we want to try to dine at(since they were 13 years old)....they LOVE the shows! We usually do like 1 or 2 rides and then a show so we get to sneak in some air conditioner in between waiting in the hot sun for rides! Now that they're of drinking age, we drink at Disney World so it's different AND still fun!
DH and I dont have any kids, but its still just as important as the primary trip planner for me to take his wishes into account especially, as Lacy said, with choosing the restaurants.

Where's Pete?? He IS the Dis! We miss him!
I buy gift cards and give my son gift cards to buy souvenirs
Dear Lord since Pete left the show has become awful. I know he was a terrible human being but Pete was the show.
