Ok, I have found a way to join Audrey(turns 16 in late September) and my wife at WDW for 3 days in October. Despite going every year this trip is Audrey's request yet once again.
I would like to do something special for her but want to limit the cost if at all possible. No Cakes/Balloons. Not something she is into.
So, ideas? Under $200 that would make a great memory for a child that has grown up at Disney?

Where is the Garden Room tea experience when you need it? Keys to the Kingdom Tour? $114 + tax Guests must be 16 years of age or older and have a valid photo I.D. You could book a special photo session. 20m and costs $99. Adult Disney Makeover.... Character CoutureWhat is she into? |

I would start by looking at what is listed on the web site under things to do. Some thoughts would be a couple of the animal tours such as the rhinos or elephants. Both of these tours are around $50 each and in my opinion are some of the better value tours on property. There are also such things as carriage tours or may the amphicars at the boat house in Disney Springs.

Happy birthday to your daughter!
Our girls, now 22 and 23, grew up Disney, too. Our older DD requested to see The Lion King on Broadway for her 16th birthday. We had a blast in NYC!
When our youngest turned 16, she requested a Keys to the Kingdom Tour as her "experience" gift.
Since 16 is the minimum age for the tour, she couldn't wait to be old enough!
Our entire family loved it and we still quote all the learned tidbits every time we are at MK.
Good luck planning the celebration!

Carriage rides are another great idea. |

I believe one of the bakeries in Disney Springs has a cake decorating class, so if she likes that kind of thing, that's another unique option. |

Keys to the Kingdom Tour? $114 + tax Guests must be 16 years of age or older and have a valid photo I.D. We did this some years back and loved it. We were waiting for our niece to turn 16. They live in FL and go to WDW fairly often. After she was 16, we suggested this. She said "Nope. I know it's there, but I don't want to see it." She wanted to keep the Magic, it seems.
Cheers.

Well honestly it seems she is into a lot of eye rolling, showing a face of disgust at her ole dad, and hanging out in her room and totally avoiding her parents... Honestly, still doing 5 dance classes and I missed my opportunity to invest in Taylor Swift Tickets for her. |

Cheers.

The Wild Africa Trek is over your $200 limit, but DW and DD (21) did it in May and loved it.
Definitely under the $200 price, Caring for Giants, the behind the scenes elephant tour in AK, was great.

Honestly, still doing 5 dance classes and I missed my opportunity to invest in Taylor Swift Tickets for her. So, she’s a completely typical teenaged girl?  The good news is, they eye rolling eventually becomes less pronounced… But seriously, 16??? I’ll second some of Tom’s suggestions. A tour for her, a photo session (for you and your wife. What parent wouldn’t treasure that?) Not under 200, but the Wild Africa Trek looks like so much fun! And would definitely be memorable. |
