Fun Activities for Boys at Disney World

Fun Activities for Boys at Disney World

Disney is fun for everyone, but on the surface it does look like most things are for girls. However with a little searching you can find tons of things to do for boys at Disney! This is a list of things that may appeal to the boys in your party.

• Wagon Ride: Take a 45-minute wagon ride and explore the Fort Wilderness Campground each night at 7:00 and 9:30 pm and depart from in front of Pioneer Hall. No reservations are needed, just show up with cash.

• Collect Things: Boys love collections, and Disney is a great place to start something fun to collect. Pin trading is always an option, but so are pressed pennies which you can find all around the parks and even cool swizzle sticks (straws) you get in drinks. We also collected tons of stickers from cast members for free.

• Rent a bike: Trails can be found around all of the Disney resort hotels. Wilderness Lodge and Fort Wilderness have the most extensive trails.

• Agent P Adventure. Join Agent P, the secret agent platypus from the Phineas & Ferb cartoon, to solve mysteries around the World Showcase at Epcot. At check in you get a communicator device that will lead you through the adventure and help unlock interactive elements in the pavilions. This is hands down one of the best free activities offered in the Parks.
• A Pirate’s Adventure – Treasures of the Seven Seas. This interactive treasure hunt in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland is a great way to spend some downtown from rides. Begin with one of five maps and follow the clues to discover some great interactive elements. Each of the 5 missions take around 20 minutes to complete in full.
• Star Wars Jedi Training Academy. Sign up to be trained in the ways of the Force and meet some great Star Wars characters, like Darth Vader. Characters from the Star Wars Rebels animated series will be added alter this year. Here are some tips on signing up and interactions.
