You would think your teen knows how to pack and dress themselves appropriately by now, but that&#8217;s not always the case. They don\u2019t think that rain could suddenly roll in (it will). They don\u2019t think they\u2019d ever need a back up pair of shoes or more than one pair of socks (they will). They don&#8217;t anticipate it suddenly getting cooler after dark (it will). Unless you want to spend valuable ride time combing through shops for an acceptable overpriced hoodie, plan on helping them pack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip<\/strong>: This is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Orlando-Hotels.d178294.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Florida<\/a>, so prepare for rain. Make sure everybody packs a plastic rain poncho; if you don\u2019t already have some, pick up a few at the drug store ahead of time. Even if it doesn\u2019t rain, they&#8217;re excellent for use on water rides. Rain ponchos, socks, underwear, and swimsuits are small and easy to pack\u2014better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them. And if your teen&#8217;s shoes and socks get wet, put him to task with the hand dryer. It works wonders.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lots of Room or Lots of Rooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When planning a multi-day theme park trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/g\/pt\/ms-disneyworld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Walt Disney World<\/a> with teens and tweens, nothing is more important than space. When they were little you could all share a room with two beds just fine. But as they grow, so must the space. At the very minimum, a double vanity will save your sanity since teens spend a great deal of time in front of the mirror. A larger room, such as an L-shaped family room at the Swan or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dolphin Resort,<\/a> is even better. But ideally, separate connecting rooms are the way to go. Not only does it solve the bathroom wait issue, but it gives teens their own space to Facetime with friends, watch what they want, stay up late or sleep in if they choose. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Orlando-Hotels-Disneys-Beach-Club-Resort.h871864.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beach Club<\/a> and Yacht Club are both within walking distance to Epcot, and a longer walk or boat ride away to Hollywood Studios. The shared pool area, \u201cStormalong Bay,\u201d is a hit for tweens and teens with its waterslide and lazy river.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30963\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30963\" class=\"wp-image-30963 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/03Evening-View-Beach-Yacht-Club-Walt-Disney-World-Kids-Are-A-Trip.jpg\" alt=\"Disney with tweens and teens\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/03Evening-View-Beach-Yacht-Club-Walt-Disney-World-Kids-Are-A-Trip.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/03Evening-View-Beach-Yacht-Club-Walt-Disney-World-Kids-Are-A-Trip-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/03Evening-View-Beach-Yacht-Club-Walt-Disney-World-Kids-Are-A-Trip-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/03Evening-View-Beach-Yacht-Club-Walt-Disney-World-Kids-Are-A-Trip-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30963\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Beach Club is perfect for watching Epcot evening fireworks! | Photo: Kirsten Maxwell<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Pro Parent Tip<\/strong>: To get the best bang for your budget on space, consider staying offsite at a hotel like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Orlando-Hotels-The-Grove-Resort-Spa-Orlando-Spacious-1.h4691657.Hotel-Information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Grove Resort Orlando<\/a>, where the 1, 2 and 3 bedroom suites offer a minimum of 975 square feet for a reasonable cost. The Grove also features its own gaming center and onsite waterpark, complimentary for guests. There is enough here to keep families happy for longer stays and non-theme-park days.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Let Teens D<\/strong><strong>o the Tech<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>From smartphone apps to magic band passcodes, your teen will hover over you and \u201cback seat tech\u201d your every move. Looking up wait times? Expect your teen to grow impatient and grab your phone mid-scroll because you\u2019re taking too long\u2014never mind that the app is refreshing\u2014nope, you\u2019re just too slow and besides, you wear reading glasses so you can\u2019t possibly be seeing the numbers correctly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Parent Tip: <\/strong>Have your teen download necessary apps and bookmark necessary pages to their phones, and let them schedule fast passes and keep track of wait times. You can save the day when you pull out a portable battery charger to re-charge their devices without having to search for an outlet.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Make Time for Photo Shoots (That You\u2019re Not in)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The days of cute family photos or posed character greetings are all but memories of the past now. Be glad you have them! Sure, your teen will want to take plenty of pictures, but not to print, frame and display on the wall. The photos they care about are of themselves at arm\u2019s length, and will live only 24 hours on Snapchat or Instagram stories. Don\u2019t even think about suggesting a great backdrop or theme; teens are not only highly skilled selfie-snappers, they are also masterful art directors, location scouters, make-up artists, fashion editors and animated gif-grabbers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Parent Tip<\/strong>: Don\u2019t stand behind your teen in line, you might be asked to step out of the frame of their selfie-shot.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30964\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30964\" class=\"wp-image-30964 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/04MIssionEpcot_4087.jpg\" alt=\"Disney with tweens and teens\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/04MIssionEpcot_4087.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/04MIssionEpcot_4087-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/04MIssionEpcot_4087-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/04MIssionEpcot_4087-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30964\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sometimes a family shadow selfie does the trick! | Photo: Kymri Wilt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If your teen asks you to take their picture at a spot, make sure you stand exactly where they tell you, and don\u2019t move until they\u2019ve checked that the hair is just right and the pose is what they want. Sometimes this requires several takes. By all means, NEVER ever say \u201csmile!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Parent Tip<\/strong>: Use your own phone to sneak a few candids before your teen is officially camera ready; that way, you&#8217;ll have some pictures to keep for screensavers (or printing and framing, if they approve).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Feeding Frenzies<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing every teenager can conjure up at any given moment, it\u2019s an appetite. Making dinner reservations and scheduling meals is a brave venture, and unfortunately necessary if you wish to enjoy a table-service meal during peak season (basically year-round at Walt Disney World). While this works well for the more self-disciplined of families, let\u2019s face it\u2014a teen\u2019s voracious appetite can strike at any moment, and you must feed the beast right then and there. Unless, of course, it\u2019s an Instagram-worthy treat like Dole Whip or the Cinderella Castle Cupcake, in which case staging and lighting take precedence.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30965\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30965\" class=\"wp-image-30965 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/05CapturingCupcakesatWDW_7387.jpg\" alt=\"Disney with tweens and teens\" width=\"640\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/05CapturingCupcakesatWDW_7387.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/05CapturingCupcakesatWDW_7387-188x300.jpg 188w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30965\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Cinderella Castle Cupcake snapped before devouring. | Photo: Kymri Wilt<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Pro Parent Tip<\/strong>: Know where to find the nearest Dole Whip in any park at any time. When ordering and paying for food using the magic band or credit card, don\u2019t fumble that passcode. (Omg, how embarrassing!) Best to include your teen for authorized charging, and just let her order and pay for it all\u2026save everyone the embarrassment of the awkward stare from the cashier.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Nostalgia? No Way<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While you might love the idea of taking your tween or teen on your favorite childhood ride or attraction, and sharing your fondest memories, they really don\u2019t care. For example, the People Mover: It\u2019s been around forever and only exists in one park, but teens will quickly pass it by in favor of Space Mountain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Parent Tip<\/strong>: Take a break apart. Let your teens off on their own to wait in the queue at Space Mountain. Meanwhile, you can ride the People Mover to your heart\u2019s content, stroll down Main Street, and ride it again by the time they get out.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Not Even Those Old-School Mouse Ears? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Mouse ears were cute when they were little ones. Then they hit a few pre-tween years when the ears were totally uncool. But once they start \u2018gramming with their own phones, they\u2019ll be into the mouse ears again, and will want a different set to wear each day to match their #OOTD (outfit of the day). Disney has both fed the frenzy and fueled the trend, coming out with brand new versions of mouse ears every year. If your teens are into baseball caps, same deal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30966\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30966\" class=\"wp-image-30966 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/06TeenOOTDSelfies.jpg\" alt=\"Disney with tweens and teens\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/06TeenOOTDSelfies.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/06TeenOOTDSelfies-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/06TeenOOTDSelfies-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/06TeenOOTDSelfies-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30966\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hats and hoodies, or Minnie Mouse ears make the teen\u2019s #OOTD (outfit of the day). | Photos: Kymri Wilt<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Pro Parent Tip<\/strong>: Surprise your teen and pack every Disney hat and mouse ear band you have, plus budget spending money for new ones. You will rightfully earn your credit in the wardrobe and props department.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Remember, Today\u2019s Teens Grew Up to More than Disney<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it: For teens, Disney\u2019s Seven Dwarves Mine train is child\u2019s play. They want real coasters that go fast, and real thrills they can identify with. (Has your teen ever even read Snow White?) Every generation grew up with something \u201cDisney,\u201d but the teenagers of today are the first generation to have grown up with the books and movies of \u201cHarry Potter\u201d and other franchises.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30967\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30967\" class=\"wp-image-30967 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/07WarnerBrosDiagonAlley_7256.jpg\" alt=\"Disney with tweens and teens\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/07WarnerBrosDiagonAlley_7256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/07WarnerBrosDiagonAlley_7256-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/07WarnerBrosDiagonAlley_7256-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/07WarnerBrosDiagonAlley_7256-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spend a day at Warner Brothers Islands of Adventure for \u201cHarry Potter\u201d themed fun. | Photo: Kymri Wilt<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Pro Parent Tip<\/strong>: Schedule a day away from the mouse and princesses to spend with wizards and superheroes at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/universal-orlando-theme-park-tickets.a449578.activity-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Universal Orlando Resort<\/a> theme parks. In between magical coaster rides they\u2019ll want to do again and again, be sure your teen snaps their selfie drinking a \u201cButter Beer\u201d in Hogsmeade, and visits the fantastically themed shops of Diagon Alley. Give your teens this day to let loose and get it all out of their system. The rest of the family will find plenty of amusement in the wonderfully themed lands; plus healthier, tastier dining options will please everyone\u2019s appetite.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>End Each Day on a Good Note<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_30968\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30968\" class=\"wp-image-30968 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/08WDWFireworks_4174.jpg\" alt=\"Disney with tweens and teens\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/08WDWFireworks_4174.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/08WDWFireworks_4174-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/08WDWFireworks_4174-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/08WDWFireworks_4174-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30968\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Watching fireworks together is a great way to end the day. | Photo: Kymri Wilt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One word: fireworks. No matter what age, everyone stops to watch the magical fireworks shows at the Disney Parks.

After time spent going separate ways doing different things, it\u2019s nice to come back and enjoy the spectacle together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Parent Tip<\/strong>: Plan to spend at least one evening after dark in Animal Kingdom. What it lacks in fireworks, it makes up for in light and sound. The Tree of Life awakens with creatures and color, while the Rivers of Light captivates with floating sets and glowing fireflies. But the land of Pandora steals the show with its bioluminescent rainforest transformation. Herein lies the real test of a masterful selfie\u2014pushing the limits of both the teen\u2019s talent and the parent\u2019s patience. But in the end, a worthy endeavor.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30969\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30969\" class=\"wp-image-30969 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/09TweensDrinksPandora.jpg\" alt=\"Disney with tweens and teens\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/09TweensDrinksPandora.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/09TweensDrinksPandora-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/09TweensDrinksPandora-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/09TweensDrinksPandora-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The weirder the food, the better.
