The last thing your kid, whether teen or tween, wants to do in Walt Disney World is learn. Have fun, sure. Learn? Never! But just like every ride and show has its Hidden Mickeys, every Disney vacation has hidden opportunities for your kids to take on some new skills.
Tim Brooks' unique guide to Disney World posits a simple truth: your kids want to be involved in planning their trip to see Mickey. So let them. Budgeting and simple economics can be taught while making dining reservations or selecting a resort. And in the parks themselves, every ride and attraction can be mined for its history and its hidden meaning.
Did you know that Liberty Square has no bathrooms? Finding out why is a mini-history lesson that will engage your teens and tweens better than any textbook. Brooks also shares:
