This weekend we get to take pause and celebrate dads all around the world! While many dads will be celebrating around grills, at sporting events or just enjoying a day of relaxation with your family…there is no doubt that some will be celebrating big at Walt Disney World® Resort!
With over 40-square acres of father-friendly activities there is literally something that will excite nearly any Dad! The good news is, it doesn’t have to be Father’s Day to celebrate dad at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Since Father’s Day is right around the corner, we decided to task our Magic Makers® with discovering the Top 12 Faves for those special guys in our lives – Dad!
And here are the results…
Top 12 Faves for Fathers at the Walt Disney World® Resort
Attractions
- Splash Mountain® – Everybody has a laughing place, including dad! A trip to Magic Kingdom® Park wouldn’t be complete without a ride on this water attraction!
- Pirates of the Caribbean® – A classic Disney attraction, every dad remembers either his first time on this attraction or his child’s first ride.
- Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress / The Hall of Presidents – We’re not sure if these attractions made the list because our dads like the show or the “napping” opportunity! We’ll leave that up to you to decide!
Snacks
- Churros – While they are more prevalent at the Disneyland® Resort, churros are one of our dad’s favs on the East Coast as well. How can you go wrong with a strip of fried dough dusted with cinnamon and sugar? Grab one (or more) before the 3 o’clock parade and enjoy!
- Drinking (and snacking) around the World – With 11 different countries nestled around the beautiful World Showcase Lagoon, it’s hard to pass up enjoying various food and beverages from around the world! Served at kiosks along the way, take your taste buds on a tour while you enjoy the sites and sounds of Epcot® World Showcase. One favorite – the Grapefruit beer and pretzels from Germany!
- Mickey Bar – Ok, so this treat knows no age limits. From young to old, everyone loves a Mickey Bar!
Restaurants
- Rose & Crown Pub & Dining Room – This quaint family-friendly pub is home to some of the best pub food on property! Dad will love the fish and chips paired with a large selection of British beers and cold refreshments while relaxing to the tunes of Rose & Crown’s resident musician!
- Cape May Cafe – This New England-style, beachside themed dining hotspot will leave any dad full and smiling after experiencing the Seafood-and-More Dinner Buffet offering clams, mussels, crab legs, shrimp, chicken and more!
- ‘Ohana – Nothing says ‘family’ quite like ‘Ohana. Celebrate dad together with an amazing evening of Polynesian-style delights, storytelling and games. This tropical eatery features skewers of sweet and our pork loin, oak-grilled shrimp and steak.
Outside the Parks
- Golf – With three 18 hole championship golf courses and one 9 hole golf course on property, dad will never have a problem finding somewhere to swing his sticks! No equipment? No problem! Dad can rent clubs and shoes at the course!
- Not Driving – What more can we say? We have all seen dad behind the wheel…and he needs a break! Enjoy the amazing on-property transportation and give Dad’s right foot a break!
- Richard Petty Driving Experience – The only exception to not driving would be letting dad drive as fast as he wants in a real NASCAR prepared stock car or a high end exotic machine like a Lamborghini or Ferrari!
We told you we were bringing you a top 12, but get ready for a bonus. Because of the popularity of land and sea vacation, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention Disney Cruise Line. Whether paired with a Walt Disney World® vacation or not, a sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line can provide the ultimate in relaxation for dad!
Walt Disney World® Resort is a place that Dad can be celebrated all year round! These are just 12 of the many amazing experiences that await Dad, and the entire family, on a trip to Walt Disney World® Resort!
