Just about any of the theme parks. Don't think that because he is 14 that he won't like Mickey Mouse! At that age there are still plenty of rides and shows that he would probably like. MGM park has the Rock N Roller coaster (featuring the rock group Aerosmith) and the Hollywood Tower of Terror, also there is Star Tours- a simulation of being in Star Wars.
Epcot has some great rides too. Mission to Mars is really cool, and so is Test Track- where you get to be in a "car" that is being put through durability and performance tests.
You might also consider taking one of the behind the scenes tours. These are awesome. Most are walking tours, but you get to see so much and learn some of the "Disney secrets".
If he is into the superhero stuff, (Spiderman, X-Men, etc) then Universal is the place to go. There are actually 2 parks here plus City Walk. Both are fun parks with lots of great rides- I love the HULK roller coaster!
Just have a great time. Memories are the most treasured gifts!

If your son is more of a thrill seeker, then try Island of Adventure or Universal Studios, they have more thrill rides than Disney, but Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM, and Animal Kingdom are also great places to visit. You can buy ALMOST anything in Orlando depends on what he likes. Good Luck KG

Disney world of course. If he is big in the movies there is two Universal parks in Orlando. Let him check Orlando and disney webpages. One tip if he is into dolphins and animals are Discovery cove where you can swim with dolphins. Dont know their age limits. Johan

There are also several smaller attractions including Gatorland and several different water parks that your son may enjoy. As for gifts, there are hundreds of souvenir shops throughout the area offering discounted merchandise, as well as the shops within the parks.

Universal Studois is an awesome place to visit, Downtown Disney also has some awesome restaurants and things to do there.
