Things you can get for FREE at Disney World
1. Photos with Characters.
If you see one, you can just wait in line and the cast member will use your phone to take the picture. You can sign up for Photopass and pay for the professional ones or have them take your picture with your camera, the FREE way!
2. Trading cards.
Select Disney cast members have trading cards on them that you can get from them just by asking, the ones we found had them were the transportation people and the cast members at the entrance to the rides. Not all cast members will have them but you never know who does so ask a cast member and see if they do.
3. Autographs.
While you have to buy an autograph book if you want the “Disney autograph book” characters will sign just about anything as long as you are not wearing it.
4. Disney Stickers.
You can walk up to any resort desk and they have stickers for the kids, and all you have to do is ask.
5. Toiletries.
When the housekeepers come by you can ask for extras, plus stash away the ones you did not use yet because they will put more out anyway. Plus you can’t beat the awesome H20 products that Disney resorts have.
6. Water.
Walk up to any counter service counter or beverage place that sells soda in a cup and you can get FREE water, including at the Starbucks! What I learned when I was at Disney is that the water you get at Starbucks that is free is just like bottled water because Starbucks filters their water on site just like the bottled water companies do when they are bottling water, so you want to make sure you add this to your things you can get for FREE at Disney World list.
7. Disney World Pens.
If you do not have a pen you can ask the concierge or front desk at your resort for one and they will give you one that says Walt Disney World on it for FREE and let you keep it!
8. Disney Magic in your Photos.
Yes you have to buy the Photopass to download the photos or pay to download them individually at Photopass places but Disney puts magic in your photos for FREE. When you see people at the Park with the cameras, have them take your photo and then check them out at the Photopass locations and download the ones you want, including the ones with FREE Disney magic in them. Add this to your your things you can get for FREE at Disney World list to add some extra magic in your photos!
9. Get a free necklace or bracelet at Luxury of time jewelry store in Disney Springs.
10. Jedi Training.
This one is a MUST add to your list of Things you can get for FREE at Disney World, my kids asked about doing it the first year we went and we missed it, this year our second time at Disney World they got to and it has been talked about non stop! Go to Hollywood Studios and sign up for Jedi Training.
This will get your kids a one on one experience with Darth Vader (or one of the other Dark side characters). They will learn how to use a lightsaber and then get to have a one on one fight with Darth Vader which will have them remembering it forever.
Plus the kids will also get a certificate of completion for Jedi school for attending. There is a training session every hour, but you will need to get to Hollywood Studios early to sign up, you will see the Jedi training academy as you are walking to Star Tours (its the building with the glass doors on the right).
11. Bus Rides.
You will get a FREE bus ride from the airport to the resorts on the magical express if you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort. Plus you will get FREE bus rides from your hotel to the parks or a boat ride, so you never have to worry about your own transportation when you are going from the hotels to the parks. This is one of my favorite things you can get for FREE at Disney World!
12. Band-Aids and First Aid supplies.
If you get hurt in the Disney Parks ask a cast member where the first aid station is. There you will be able to get band-aids, antiseptic wipes and more to deal with cuts and scrapes. I am really thankful for this, i ended up getting bit by something and leg swelling and because i knew this was one of the things you can get for FREE at Disney World I didn’t have to go back to our room or hunt down supplies in the stores!
13. WiFi
When you are at a Disney Park or a Disney Resort you will get FREE WiFi, just select your settings on your phone or computer and click on wifi networks and if you are at the hotel you will see one that shows your resort name or hotel room guest and in the parks it will say Disney Guest Wifi or something similar. Just join the network and you are good to go with FREE WiFi. No using TONS of cell phone data when posting on facebook and instagram 🙂
14. Soda
When you are in Epcot you can score FREE Soda at the Cool Club, where you can taste different Coca-Cola products from around the world and have as many samples as you wish. Make sure you add this to your list of Things you can get for FREE at Disney World, because this one is also a lot of fun!
15. Baby Care Centers
If you have a baby or a toddler these baby care centers will come in handy. In all 4 parks they are open during regular park hours, each full-service facility that is FREE to use and each includes a:
- Private nursing room with rocking chairs

17. Candy Samples.

Each day, every person who has a paid ticket can go to the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom and get 5 FREE trading cards. Each person has to be present with their park ticket card or MagicBand to get theirs.
19. Character Greeting call.
When you arrive ask the front desk for a character greeting call(make sure you keep this a little hush hush so the kiddos don’t hear you) and then one of the awesome Disney Characters will call your room and welcome your family to Disney! This is one of the things you can get for FREE at Disney World that make a great magical memory for the kiddos!
20. Delivery of your purchases in the park to your room.
If you are staying on Disney Property they will deliver any purchases you make in the park for FREE. If you are staying just for the day or you need your items by the end of the day then you can have them deliver your items to the front of the park to pick up when you leave. You need 24 hours time for the room delivery and 3 hours for the front of the park delivery. Much easier then carrying around your shoppings bags.
21. Mickey Mouse Straws
Some food locations have Mickey Mouse shaped straws, not all of them will tell you so you just have to ask if they have them and if they do they will give you one per kid for free. This is one of the things you can get for FREE at Disney World that make a great take home souvenir!
22. Disney World Notepads
You will find these in your resort rooms, however if you have 3 kids like we do and they only put 1 in the room you can ask the front desk for one for each kid. They also leave a new one in your room every morning if the one you had is no longer in sight on the nightstand. This is one of the things you can get for FREE at Disney World that make a great take home souvenir!

MidgetMomma says

I am a Florida resident and I got them for free with my ticket. of course we get annual passes and are lucky enough to be able to drive over at least twice a month.
Jenn says
I opened this article thinking I already knew most of the “Free” stuff at Disney, but you proved me wrong! Thank you for this! Pinned on Pinterest.
Jaclyn says
The s’mores are not free at the Fort Wilderness. The campfire is free, but you need to bring your own s’more supplies for it to be free.
Stephanie says
Oh thanks for the update!
Angie says
Don’t forget the free Kidcot experiences at EPCOT, which includes a free color stick character, but also a chance to meet International exchange students from all over the world. Most will sign your child’s name in their native language on the collectible stick.?
Sara says
My child under age did not eat free. We did not have to pay for him and he had to share a meal with a parent or sibling. This stunk since he doesn’t like my food and his siblings like to eat all of their food.
