lol Wow, I apologize for the unhelpful answers you've received so far, especially for the one from the "Disney expert" so desperate for points. She just copied something from another site, and she listed random attractions from every park at WDW. (I'm the real Disney expert.)

I'm 19 and the Magic Kingdom is one of my favorite parks at Walt Disney World. Epcot is my other favorite. These are the attractions I enjoy that I think they'll enjoy, too...

Space Mountain- An indoor roller coaster in the dark. It's a lot of fun, and it's really exciting because you don't know what's coming ahead of you. This is definitely one of the best attractions at the Magic Kingdom.

Splash Mountain- One of the most popular attractions at the Magic Kingdom. It's basically like a log flume ride, but it's much more detailed and there's story to the attraction.

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin- I love this ride. The vehicles you ride in have these plastic guns that rotate. There's little aliens and other space creatures everywhere with bullseyes, and you and your opponent, the other person you're riding with, have to try to get as many points as possible.

Mickey's Philhar Magic- This is definitely the best 3D show at Walt Disney World. It's so great, and even though teenage boys may think it seems lame, they'll enjoy it if they see it. The main character is Donald Duck, and throughout the show he tries to steal Mickey's sorcerer hat.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad- This is another popular roller coaster. I love it. It's similar to Space Mountain, except it's outside and you're riding in a train. It's a lot of fun, too.

Mad Tea Party- I actually like this ride a lot. It's so fun because you control how much your tea cup spins. I like to spin it as fast as I can, but if you get dizzy easily you can spin it a little, or not at all. And the line never seems to be very long, so if you're waiting for time to pass until you can use a FastPass for another ride, it's convenient.

Pirates of the Caribbean- This is one of the oldest and mos popular attractions at the Magic Kingdom. If it's hot outside it's a good choice because when you wait in line you're inside, and it's very cool. It's an exciting boat ride and there's all kinds of Audio-Animatronics. It's been updated recently, too, and there's an Audi-Animatronic of Johnny Depp from the newer Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It was done really well.

Stitches Great Escape- I think this attraction gets mixed reviews. My little sister didn't like it, so I wasn't sure I would. I love Stitch, though. He's my favorite Disney character. I went on it for my first time in August and I liked it.

The Haunted Mansion- A classic Disney attraction, and one of my personal favorites. Also, one of the most popular at Walt Disney World. It's pretty much the best fake haunted house ever created. There's Audio-Animatronics and ghosts that look quite real.

The Carousel of Progress- This is one of my all-time favorite attrafctions at Walt Disney World. It's a show of Audio-Animatronics in a rotating theater. It's really cool! They may or may not enjoy it. They may still be too young to appreciate the fact that it's so fun because it was one of Walt's best ideas/creations.

Wishes Nighttime Spectacular- If you're there in the evening, don't miss this incredible fireworks show. It's one of the greatest in Disney history.

As for people's comments on Universal Studios theme parks, they do not compare. In 2005, all of the Disney theme parks' attendances went up at least 5 percent, while all of the Universal theme parks' attendances decreased by at least 8.5 percent. Universal Studios has always tried to compete with Disney. Walt Disney World, however, is the best.

I'm sure your sons will have a great time!

Those are all parks in Disney World - Magic Kingdom is just one of the parks at the resort. But yes, there are shops everywhere. Magic Kingdom has a big Main Street area that is lined with shops and restaurants, and there are other places throughout. EPCOT has a big souvenir store, Animal Kingdom has a large shopping area near the front of the park, and Hollywood Studios also has a big shopping area near the front. There aren't as many shops at the water parks really, but Downtown Disney is nothing but shops and restaurants. There is a huge Disney souvenir store there. I'm sure that somewhere there is a shirt that says I Love Florida, but I've never seen one at the Disney stores.

Absolutely! The rides that are most popular with teens are Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Pirates, and the Haunted Mansion. However, all of the Magic Kingdom's rides... even the little ones in Fantasyland are fun for all ages.
Be sure to also check out Downtown Disney & Pleasure Island, as well as Blizzard Beach.

Oh my goodness, YES!!! Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Haunted Mansion, Stich's Escape, Buzz Lightyear (trust me, this may be their favorite), Space Mountain, etc.

If they open their minds, they may even enjoy the Treehouse, Tiki Birds, WDW Railroad, Country Bear Jamboree, Astro Orbiter. The list goes on.

If your kids have bad attitudes about going, leave them at home, go alone and enjoy yourself. I have been there and done that. Guess what? The next time I went, they wanted to go and had such a good time that they wanted to go back.

My oldest son is now 33 and my daughter is 30, we are all planning to go back with the grandchildren and grandparents next year.

Every Disney park is great for ALL ages!!! Let me tell you though, looks can be deceiving. Tell your boys (and you remember, too) that just because an attraction LOOKS like it is only for kids, check it out. Sometimes you will be wildly surprised!! Take the Tea Cup ride for example- it is in the Fantasyland portion of Magic Kingdom. It looks like a bit of a "kiddie ride". But, MAN! Those cups can SPIN FAST!!! I staggered off of that ride because I was so dizzy! (And my 6 year old niece was the one spinning the cup!) It was awesome! (one of my new favorites!)

Many of the things are indoors and you really can't "judge" them until you actually try them.

Have a great trip!

I'm 34 and still love the Magic Kingdom.

Katlyn is correct with her assessment of the rides and attractions -- and hers really are located at the Magic Kingdom. My 18-year-old nephew and my 16-year-old daughter both love Magic Kingdom, especially the things Katlyn mentioned. However, if you don't have much time, they might like Epcot better. My daughter says it's a toss-up between the two as to which one is better. However, I love them both.

Yes, you're never to old for Disney World.
And it's called the Magic Kingdom.
Sorry, its just one of my huge pet peeves when people mistake names and places relating to Disney.
I'm 15, almost 16, and I've been going to Disney World every year since I was 3 and I love it.

Wow I must agree with Imani ( I hope I spelled that right ) But I also love Universal and Island Of Adventure. They have 2 great roller coasters Dueling Dragons and the Hulk. I feel there are more adventurous rides there than Disney, But Disney has some great ones also. you can check out all the websites and get more detailed info. Good Luck and Enjoy KG

I like it there, but they may enjoy Universal Studios Islands of Adventure better. Lots of coasters and stuff like that. And it is very close to Disney if you want to go there too! Have fun either way!
