How to persuade a 10 year old boy to go to Disney World?

My parents asked my nephew to come to Disney World with us. He is a little unsure because he is scared that he is going to miss his parents. I've already told him that we're usually are in the parks all day so we are so busy and he wont know. What are some other things I can tell him so will be excited to go and want to come?How to persuade a 10 year old boy to go to Disney World?
I'm sure it will be tough but Brandy has some good ideas. Show him the website, play the planning DVD for him, and if his parents are excited for him to go, he will probably be more excited to go.



In addition to calls, there is a spot in Innovations West (EPCOT) where he can send a digital postcard to them - just make sure he/you know the email address.



Not sure if it will make it better or worse, but his parents can fill out some postcards and have you leave them on his pillow while he is at Disney, or you can record a message from them to him on your camcorder to play back when/if he gets sad?



Also, maybe if it is presented as an opportunity to do some "video reporting" from Disney World to his parents (record him doing little summaries, or ride reviews like the host on the planning videos) he might find it fun w/o missing them too much.



Good luck. I hope he goes and you (all) have a great time!
Show him the Disney website and search Disney ride videos on YouTube. That might help.



If he's never been away from his parents for any length of time, it might be tough for him. But remind him that he can call them on the phone when you get back to the hotel at night.How to persuade a 10 year old boy to go to Disney World?
Wow, I've never heard of anybody having to be persuaded to go to Disney World, especiall a 10 year old!



Take him on the website or order the free DVD about the resort online and show him the rides and attractions. Tell him about all the characters and fun things to see and do. You can watch videos on YouTube or get good information on the website, which is www.disneyworld.com. You can get the DVD there too.

Definitely show him the website, show him the rides and the water parks. Mention the parades and fireworks. You could bring a cell phone so if he misses his parents, he can call anytime. It can be hard for a child to be away from their parents.How to persuade a 10 year old boy to go to Disney World?
Does everyone have cell phones? Let him know that he can call Mom %26amp; Dad once or twice a day. Tell him he can buy a special souvenir for them or send them a post card every day that you are there!



(and P.S.: If he still refuses to go, consider taking this middle aged woman along! )
i would assure him that he can call his parents every single day. (maybe once in the morning and once in the evening).

also have him bring a pic of them.

and have him bring a stuffed toy to sleep with.

and have his parents reassure him that it will be fine.

and mention that he will be with his grandma and grandpa and they can tuck him in and what not just like his parents do.

and tell him all of the amazing things he is going to see and do while he is there.
you could show him videos and say spiderman(or some superhero he likes) is going to be there and he wants to talk to you! or you could say when we get there you can talk to your parents on the phone. or make a scene where you are asking him to go but another person is saying no it would be to fun for him or saying he shouldn't go because the rides are too dangerous for him(kids like to do things there parents say they shouldn't do) hope it helped!!
Leave the little mama's boy home. he is probably going to make the entire trip miserable.
Show him all things visual of WDW.

Tell him that if he goes, he can call his parents on breaks about his trip there.

Just get his parents to help you.
Tell him you will give him cotton candy and he will get to see his favorite character
i once had the same thing happen to me i think you should tell him all the fun things he can do and all the disney characters he will meet and how he can get their autograph he will be excited and go then and on the nanny 911 show i learned that when children are scared to leave their parents have them give them something of theirs and then tell him to return it when he gets back it will comfort him and what my mom does is she gets a card or wrights a letter and tells me to open it when im almost there so you open the envelope and he can read the cad and putting a picture in helps of all of the family it will make him very happy and then talk to him and tell him how much fun he will have hope this helps
10 yr olds like bets... Bet him that if he gets sad and misses his parents, you will walk around Disney with underwear on your head or kiss Goofy on the lips, or sing a song in front of a crowd....something embarrassing, that he'll knows a normal person would not agree to if they thought they had a chance of losing the bet. However, if he has the time of his life, and forgets to miss his parents he must agree to *____* whatever you come up with (ie. eat a sunday in less that a minute, carry all the luggage to the car etc.)

I have twin 10yr old girls, so I know this game very well. This has worked on many occasions.
I would show him some of the various Disney World websites (Intercot, AllEars, WDWMagic, etc..etc..) and then take him to YouTube and show him some of the video clips of the rides in each of the parks in Disney World. Rev him up, so to speak, and get him excited about all the cool rides and shows he'll see there. Remind him that he'll be too busy having fun to be scared about missing his parents and that at any time he can use your phone and call them to let them know what he's seen and done that day.



Tell him about the hunt for Hidden Mickeys that you guys can do, and that he can be on the lookout for the best gifts to brnig his parents when he gets home.
Don't. Disney is over rated and over priced.
