Traveling with Teens to Disney

August 25th, 2011

Every year, thousands of families across America migrate to the “Sunshine State” to enjoy over 1,200 miles of pristine beaches and fun and dynamic amusement parks. It is very important for everyone in the family to be able to enjoy the vacation, including fickle teenagers, because for most families, a vacation like this can only happen about once a year.

Traveling with teenagers can be tricky. They are straddling the cusp between being an adult and childhood and often can feel embarrassed about going on vacation with their parents and siblings. They have experienced that very first taste of freedom and yet here they are, feeling as dependent as ever while traveling with Mom and Dad. In order to provide your teen with an exciting and memorable vacation that will keep their negative frame of mind at bay, consider taking them to some of the exciting features that Disney World has to offer. You can also make them feel like royalty by staying in one of the luxurious Orlando hotels around Disney.

One of the best attractions for teens is Space Mountain. While there are no crazy loop-de-loops or drops, this ride takes place totally in the dark. Your teen will be overwhelmed with excitement and want to do it all over again.

Another exciting roller coaster than many teens seem to gravitate to is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. This old-timey coaster rattles you around as it pulls you through a little scenic mining town. The creatures of this ride had an extreme eye for detail and made sure everything was perfect. Your teen will love feeling like they have just been whisked away to the 1800’s on this unique ride.

If it’s a hot summer day, there’s nothing quite like experiencing an extreme 52-foot drop into a huge splash of water. This is why so many teenagers love Splash Mountain. It’ll provide a quick relief from the hot Florida sun and they’ll be screaming in glee as Mom gets her hair wet!

After a great day spent on the rides, your family can retire to the luxury of the Terra Verde Resort in Orlando. Your teen will feel like one of a kind and love every minute of their family trip!
