List of rides in Disney World appropriate for 9 and 12 year old?

kids top 10 toys image

We are going to Disney World in the summer for the first time and I want to make sure my kids have the most fun. There are so many rides and I was just wondering from your experience which rides would be most fun and appropriate for a 9 and 12 year old. By appropriate I mean not those crazy exotic upside down rollercoaster rides. I'm not saying upside down roller coaster rides are out of the question but not those top 10 scariest roller coaster rides ever.

Thanks, Natalie B.

Answer
I'm just going to first give you a list of what NOT to ride if you don't want the most thrilling rides at Disney.
_____________
Tower of Terror
Rockin' Roller Coaster
Expedition Everest
Splash Mountain
Space Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad(I think you could ride but it is still considered a roller coaster. :/ It may be LOADS of fun for a 9 or 12 year old. :D)
Mission Space
If they are afraid of heights, Soarin'

Where are good ideas for Christmas present for kids?

Jasmine

I have 4 neices/nephews from 3 to 10. Where's a good place to get ideas for gifts for Christmas? And is it better to buy online or fight the lines of Black Friday?

Answer
There are many lists put out by different toy stores, kids magazines,etc.

There is the Toys R Us Fabulous 15:

Also, K-Mart has it's own Fab 15 list:

There are others, but I don't know the URLs off the top of my head.

As far as online vs black friday, I personally shop online. One, I don't like to get up early. Two, I don't like being trampled by people trying to get the 3 TVs for the special price. And Three, you will usually find bargains just as good or nearly as good online if you keep your eyes open.
