Freebies at Walt Disney World - Part 2

I'm a bargain hunter just like everyone else. It's nice to find some free options when I'm on vacation.  I'm sure you feel the same way.

Here are a few more to consider on your next visit:

1. Free Movies.
Fort Wilderness has a campfire program where they roast marshmallows and make s'mores followed by a movie on a large outdoor screen.  You can bring your own marshmallows, buy the kits at the General Store or bring your own snacks if you like.  This is open to all Disney Resort Guests. 

2. Visit Downtown Disney
This might seem obvious, but sometimes the obvious needs to be stated. It doesn't cost you anything to do to Downtown Disney and walk around. Your kids can do some creating at the Lego Store. Ghirardelli tends to give away small pieces of chocolate. You can even take the boat down to Old Key West or Port Orleans.  Bottom line - there are a lot of free options here.

3. Tour Wilderness Lodge
Inquire at Guest Services about their guided tours.  You can ask about the Hidden Mickey Hunt as well.  Guest Services should have a list for you to work with.

4. Discovery Club Passport at Animal Kingdom.
This is at the park, not the resort.  You can get the passport and head to the different learning stations throughout the park.  Each time you finish a station, you get a stamp.  When it's all done, you have a cool. educational memento to take home.

That's all for today.  I'm sure I'll re-visit this subject later on!

Freebies at Walt Disney World - Part 1?

I put Part 1? because I think I'll need to break this up into smaller parts or you'd be reading here until the cows come home.

That being said...Freebie?  Did you say Freebie?  At Walt Disney World?  Are you sure?

You hear this kind of stuff from people who have the impression that a Walt Disney World vacation costs you an arm and a leg.

There are little bits of magic that you can experience for free on Walt Disney World property.  Here's the first installation:

~ At nearly every counter service location at Walt Disney World, you can get a free plastic cup of ice water.

~ If you get a headache and need a Tylenol or aspirin, head to one of the First Aid stations to get one for free rather than spend $10 on a bottle in the parks.

~Stickers!  A lot of CMs are out and about giving stickers out to kids and kids-at-heart.

~Pin Trading - While you need to bring your own pins, participating in pin trading with CMs is free.

~Club Cool in Epcot - you can sample different varieties of Coca-Cola from around the world for free.

~Kidcot Funstops in Epcot - make a mask and decorate it for free.

~After you get off the vehicle on Spaceship Earth in Epcot you can send free email postcards

This is just a sampling of some of the free stuff that is available around the world!  Watch for future editions!
