Free Things to do at Walt Disney World

 

Whether you can't afford a day at the parks, or you just want a day off from touring the parks, here are some suggestions for things that you can do for free at WDW. If you have anything to add to the list, please email me.

Visit the different resorts, walk around & take in the details and atmosphere.

Ride the monorail - ask to ride up front in the driver's cab, & don't forget to ask for your free co-pilot license.

Go to Downtown Disney, you don't have to go in any of the shops, just sit back & take in the atmosphere, look at the lego sculptures, people watch, let the kids play in the fountains...

Go to the Fort Wilderness campfire. Take your own marshmallows to roast over the fire, & a blanket to sit on while you watch the film.

Go to one of the Magic Kingdom resorts & watch the electric water pageant from the beach.

Watch the MK fireworks from the beach of the Grand Floridian or Polynesian, or from the California Grill at the Contemporary.

Spend time on the beach at one of the MK resorts, paddle your feet in the lake or relax in a hammock.

Take the free tour at the Wilderness Lodge, or ask for the list of hidden Mickeys, & go on a hidden Mickey hunt.

Visit the petting farm at Fort Wilderness.

Take a boat ride from one of the resorts - Wilderness Lodge to MK; Boardwalk to Epcot or MGM; Dixie Landings to Downtown Disney, etc.

Take the free garden tour at the Yacht & Beach Club Resort, or the free tour of the Grand Floridian.

Visit the BoardWalk in the evening to watch the entertainment & take in the atmosphere.

Watch the MK fireworks from outside the California Grill on the 15th floor of the Contemporary Resort.

Walk along by the Sassagoula River from Port Orleans Riverside to French Quarter.

Go on the nature walk at Fort Wilderness.

Free souvenirs from Disney. At Innoventions East, guests can send a 10-second, video e-mail message to friends back home (Video D-Mail booth located at the Innoventions Internet Zone). At Innoventions West, guests can send a picture postcard of themselves by e-mail, provided by IBM's Networked Living Exhibit.

"Take the free lobby tour at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Very informative and fun! Plus you get to see numerous Hidden Mickeys."

"Another freebie in Epcot: In the futureland part, the "Ice Cave" hides free drinks. Rather than spend the money to buy drinks, go to the Coca-Cola exhibit of world sodas and drink your fill in the cool - just a note though, the Aspartif drink isn't the most pleasant tasting drink on Earth."

"Walk around the "Walk around the World" path that circles Seven Seas Lagoon. Look at the names of the people and see if there is anyone from your hometown or near your hometown."

"Hidden Mickey tour at Animal Kingdom lodge will give you a free trading card if you manage to get them all right."

"If you go to the Animal kingdom you can do a tasting tour where you get to try some of the reciepes made in their two main service resturants"

"People watch in your hotel. You may be surprised at how much you see."

"The walk from Old Key West to Downtown Disney to Saratoga Springs Resort. It's a long walk to be sure, but it doesn't have to be undertaken all at once. A beautiful stroll along the canal (OKW portion) and an easy walk from DTD to SSR around the perimeter of the "lake."

"Watch the wonderful magic peformed at Magic Masters in DTD."

"Try out the playgrounds @ the Coronado Springs and Port Orleans."
