These are some of the freebies you can get at Walt Disney World while you’re on vacation there. Disney World is a pretty expensive trip, so it’s fun to get some things for free or included with your admission. Look out for these freebies while you’re there next time.
Celebration Buttons
Celebrations are fun buttons you can write on and wear. They are free and you ca. get them from Disney hotels, guest services in the theme parks, and some gift shops. A lot of people get them for birthdays and anniversaries, but you can get them for anything you want to celebrate.
Replacements
When you purchase anything at Disney World, save your receipts. If your balloon pops, you drop your Dole Whip, your kid’s new toy breaks, or anything else like that, you can take your receipt back and see if they will give you a replacement for free. This is not guaranteed, but does work for a lot of people.
Transportation Cards
Some Cast Members who run the boats, buses, monorail, and skyliner have Transportation Cards. You can ask them for one, then keep it as a free souvenir from your vacation.
Wake Up Calls From Characters
If you’re staying at one of the Disney World Resort hotels, you can request a free wake up call from a Disney character. You can’t choose which character the call will be from though.
Drawing Lessons
Animation Experience at Conservation Station in Animal Kingdom park does free drawing lessons of Pixar and Disney characters. You can ask for coloring pages for kids who don’t want to draw.
Buffets for Babies
Babies and kids who are 2 years old and under can eat at restaurants with buffets for free. You will need to count them as a person on your reservation so your table is big enough, but you will not need to pay for them at the end of the meal.
Water
You can get free ice water from quick-service restaurants in the Disney World theme parks. You can then pour it into an insulated water bottle to keep it cold if you want. Getting free water instead of buying water bottles will save you a lot of money.
First Aid Items
You can go to First Aid in any of the theme parks when needed and they will give you small items for free. This includes bags of ice, medicine, and bandaids.
Pixie Dusting
You can get Pixie dusted for free at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique or Castle Couture. Go in and ask a Cast Member to pixie dust you or your child. They will sprinkle glitter on you with a wand for free.
Birthday Cupcakes
If you eat at a table-service restaurant on your birthday, mention that you’re celebrating your birthday. Your server might bring you a birthday cake for free, but this is not guaranteed.
Club Cool Soda
Club Cool is located in World Celebration at EPCOT. It is presented by Coca-Cola and you can sample different Coca-Cola drinks for free. Beverly is known for being very gross, but it’s a must-try if you’ve never had it.
Wilderness Explorers
Wilderness Explorers can be found at the end of the bridge on Discovery Island in Animal Kingdom. You can do free nature activities and a scavenger hunt. You’ll receive badges, which are stickers.
Early Entry
Guests of Disney World Resort hotels can do early entry, which is where they can enter the theme parks 30 minutes before other people going to the theme parks. This is a great opportunity to get a ride or two in with little to no waits.
Balloons
If you’re staying at a Disney World Resort hotel, Cast Members might give your kids free balloons. You can ask if they have them too. Animal Kingdom Lodge does not give them out to protect the animals though.
Campfires
If you enjoy campfires, then head over to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. They have Chip n Dale’s Campfire Sing-A-Long every evening that you can attend for free. You will need to bring your own marshmallows if you want to roast marshmallows though. Read about more fun things you can do at Disney World hotels here.
EPCOT Kidcot
EPCOT’s World Showcase has Kidcot Fun Stops throughout it where kids can do educational activities and art projects for free.
Stickers
You can get free stickers from a lot of the Disney World Cast Members around the parks. This is a fun souvenir for kids. A lot of Cast Members will hand them out, but you can also ask them if they have any. This is also something you can get for free at Disneyland. Read about Disneyland freebies here.
Ghirardelli Chocolates
If you love chocolate, then head to the Ghirardelli store in Disney Springs. Sometimes they hand out free chocolate samples that you can try.
