A vacation at Walt Disney World can be costly, but there is plenty of free stuff at Walt Disney World parks too! This is a list of entirely free stuff at Walt Disney World parks, including experiences and small items. All you have to do is ask!
Free Stuff Available at Walt Disney World Parks
Celebration Buttons – Are you celebrating something special on your trip to Disney? For example, a birthday or anniversary? Or maybe just that you are finally at the happiest place on earth? You can receive free buttons to wear around the parks that let everyone know that you have something to celebrate. Just stop by Guest Relations at the front of the park and let them know you are celebrating. Subsequently, you may receive a number of well wishes throughout the day!
Festival Giveaways – There are many special festivals throughout the year at Disney World. Often, during these special events, there is free stuff at Walt Disney World Parks! For example, during the Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT, guests can receive a free passport booklet listing all of the available food options. Also, at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, guests can partake in a free animation lesson. This masterpiece is a unique souvenir!
First-Aid Care – You never know when an emergency will strike, but you do not have to worry at Walt Disney World. Each park contains a first aid station where you can receive free over the counter medications, band-aids, ice-packs, or any other small service that you need to get you back on your feet.
Holiday Treats – Holidays at Walt Disney World are special events. Often, the parks celebrate with small freebies. For example, at Halloween cast members may give out small bars of candy. And at Christmas, there’s free cookies and hot chocolate.
Park Maps – There are free park maps available at the Walt Disney World theme parks. Park Maps are an example of free stuff at Walt Disney World Parks that can be used after the trip for scrapbooking.
