First time trip for 8yo boy

[Minnie1986]

Figured I should post this here as well:


Hey All,

While I, myself, am a Disney veteran, this fall will be my first time going with a child since I was one. Any suggestions as to how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. Some necessary details:

- We'll be there for 4.5 days
-The child I'm taking is a young male
-He's not to big on thrill rides (meaning roller coasters); Mine Train he should be okay. Space Mountain, maybe not so much.

Can all parks still be done? Is Hollywood Studios worth it (other than the show on the water, of course)?
What character dining experiences are a MUST? Chef Mickey is already taken care of.

If I'm leaving out any needed details, please let me know!

I guess it would depend on if you have park hopper tickets or not. If you do I'd say yeah, go to HS. They still have the Muppets show and they do some cool Stark Wars stuff, plus HS has that super cool old Hollywood feel to it you won't find at the other parks.

But it is 100% a half day (if that) park right now. I would skip it if you have base tickets.
