Did you know that you can get free recipes at the restaurants? I’m not sure how many of them will do this, but Boma does. I asked about two of the dishes that I really really liked and they gave me print outs at the sign in desk. How cool is that!
That's cool. I had heard they had stopped doing that because they had closed down the test kitchen. My Mom still has a recipe for walnut bread she got on her honeymoon in the 70's.
My first visit to Disney, it was close to my birthday so I got one of those, “its my birthday” pins.. I remember getting off of tower of terror crying because it scared me so bad, and I was still very young. We were in the gift shop at the exist and I lost my parents, I happened to run into a security guy who was in all black and standing very still by a door with a few pins on his shirt. He saw me, smiled, and came over to me, took a bell pin off his shirt, handed it to me, and then went back to standing there, he didn’t say anything to me and my parents came up behind me and took me out if the store. I still have that pin today, it is a heart with bell and a butterfly
A few more for ya: - Ask the Walt Disney Presents greeter if they have a trivia quiz. Complete it and hand it in near the theater entrance and they might let you do something special. - Once you buy Disney pins you can trade as much as you want! - Some CMs might hand out Wild About Safety cards to collect and learn safety tips - You mentioned Galactic Hero, but "That Guy" at Monsters Inc also gets one. You can also ask CMs for random stickers and see how many characters you can collect! - Maybe resorts offer walking/running trails. - You may think buying an XMas party ticket is the only way to see the holiday parade and shows, but they are included in admission Christmas week.
We went to MK on a Halloween party day in August but weren’t going to the party. We had to leave by 6 PM. We were staying at Wilderness Lodge and a late reservation at Storybook Dining. After the park, we rested, had dinner and then went to the dock to see the boat parade and fireworks. We asked the captain of the boat that goes to MK if we could just ride. Yes! We rode to drop off guests at the campground. Then we had a private cruise for quite awhile, watching the fireworks and seeing the lighted boats. Very fun! Amazing to be at Disney with no one but our family. All free!
Thanks for these reminders! I think it helps to enrich your experience to take advantage of these freebies! The MOST fun day was the day that we were celebrating my mother-in-law's birthday and we picked up a complimentary birthday button for her ... she relished in all of the birthday wishes that came her way! Lovely memory!
I love Chip n Dale’s Campfire and Singalong! Since they are my all-time favorite characters! I try to collect everything with them. I esp love Festival of the Holidays and try to find them on the wreaths.
I'm so excited for this! I wanted to do it last time we went to Disney, but it didn't work out with our schedule. We had tickets for Hoopdeedoo's first show of the night, and there was no way to get over to the campfire and back before the show. This time, I'm planning it in on its own!!
The last time we went to Disney, we had a dinner reservation at Animal kingdom lodge. The resort was amazing. We literally could have spent hours just looking around and checking out the animals. It was so cool.
Glad to see that club chill is back at epcot! When I went in 2018 it was there but when I went in 2019 it was gone. Fingers crossed they still have the melon fanta... that stuff is amazing!!! Sadly only other way to get it is to pay some steep prices on ebay or equally steep prices directly from Japan.... :/
I was a single rinder for Tower of terror. The ride doesn't have a single rider line, but I stayed super focus on the cast member filling the ride and it happened: They ask for a Single rider. I was super far in the line, but they heard me yell: I'M a single rider!!! I cut at least 10 minutes of waiting! YOOHOO!!! Also, we used Rider swap for Cosmic rewind. Unfortunatly, my husband was not feeling well, so I took his place to ride it again... 🙂
My sister and I were in magic kingdom in July and experienced the interactive Jungle Cruise fun! We were awarded our skipper cards and then they brought us to the very front of the line and made us honorary skippers. All for joining in on the fun to get them back to their ride!
Do they still give the free chocolate samples at the Ghiradelli shop in Disney Springs? When you entered the store, they used to give you a little square of chocolate for free, but maybe they don't anymore since the pandemic?
So I do have a really important question for you or more so a request! Can you please make a video about military benefits with Disney because a lot of people do not know that and I missed out on a lot from not knowing. Thank you so much
My husband got his Galactic Hero sticker 2 days ago. He teases me with it ever since because I got a better score than him after 2 rounds... but he was lucky on our last round...
Question about the free necklace, if I go with my teenage daughter, can we each get one, or is it a 1 per party limit? I could understand you wouldn't want to go in there with a party of 5 and each expect the freebee, but it would be really nice if my daughter and I could get matching souveniers for our trip.
So you can't ride the monorail around if you don't have tickets? What about going to see the hotels can you do that for free? Where can you go around Disney property without paying for a park ticket?
However, you can't go to the Campfires or Sing-a-longs unless you're staying in that particular resort. (You can't even drive in and park unless you are staying there.)
You actually can without staying ther, just like you can go to the campgrounds restaurants. And when the campers have their Halloween or Christmas decorations up you can drive thru and see it all. Very festive. Just tell them at the gate.
Hello AJ, I found your page a few days ago and I'm new to youtube as well. I'm starting to plan our once in a life time family vacation with our adult children and grandchildren. Hubby and I live in California and children are all over the US. I couldn't find the 50 free things to do Disney world pdf. Please help. thank you, Crystal
i miss the old Kidcot Funstops. I may be 24 years old now, but those maks, with the little paper charm from each pavillion was great. still have multiple of mine xD. miss the good ole days..I dont care if prices go up, because they are going to go up regardless, but its the small things that I miss; The things that remind me of my childhood. those are all the things that I wish would come back.
This may be a tough question to answer. I'm going with my wife and kid to WDW for one day in March. Which park do you (or anyone else who wants to respond) recommend? We live in AZ and we go to Disneyland from time to time. Thanks in advance!
Really depends on what you and family want to get out of your day. Look at park hours see which one is open the latest. It depends on age of kid, MK has the most variety of rides, if that's important. Epcot many different foods, some good rides, animal kingdom well the animals are the big draw, couple of shows, couple of good rides. Hollywood studios has shows, number of rides. If only one park need to do some homework.
How old is your child? We went in March, and it surprised me how much I loved EPCOT! It is so beautiful during the Flower and Garden festival! It turned out to be my favorite park that trip. Character encounters are also so much more fun and easier to do at EPCOT, in my opinion. It also depends on what your priorities are, too, whether it’s rides, food or something else! Not sure how your trip is structured but you can make reservations at character dining at some of the resorts to add to your non-park experience. It’s not cheap, but that way you can add to your magic on a non-park day. Or consider staying at a hotel or resort with a view of Magic Kingdom fireworks even it’s it’s only one night!
Hey AJ here's an idea for a video, my wife and I are going to Disney world in November kinda an unofficial 1 year anniversary and it's her very first time even being in Florida, so can you do a video on things newlyweds can do?
Depending on your budget... I dream of Victoria and Alberts dinner. Definitely get the celebration button. My parents anniversary button got them priority seating at Epcot and a free dessert at their sit down reservation.

Gelatin is in “normal” marshmallows so vegetarians, vegans, and those who only eat Kosher or Halal cannot eat it. Disney’s actually been great about providing more options for those of us with dietary restrictions. Just thought I’d ask in the chat.
at disney springs, there is a jewlery store called Diamonds International. Just ask a worker for the free necklace and hopefully you get it. I got one once and they are really cute! Hope you end up with one!
hm - the soda in "club cool" may be free of charge but you still need to pay admission into epcot park to access them. same with the world showcase kids club. that's like saying "all the attractions in the four parks are totally free!"
@@h2ogurl1234 - neither is riding any attraction or seeing any show in disney world which means by that definition they're ALL "free things to do". is club cool *really* a better "free thing to do" than tower of terror or fantasmic?
About the water refill stations.....is it filtered water or is it the god-awful Florida swamp water? Yes I am a water snob. It's not my fault Louisville's tap water tastes amazing. 🤷

fast pass
rides from the airport
purchases to your room
resort mugs

Love these type of lists! Free in Disney is my spirit animal. Though, is it really free if you've already paid Disney so much money?? Debatable.
@@kates7277 Right!
That was a great list. Thanks for all the reminders.
So I do have a really important question for you or more so a request! Can you please make a video about military benefits with Disney because a lot of people do not know that and I missed out on a lot from not knowing. Thank you so much
YES PLEASE!
Thank you so much for this 💗
Woo hoo! Happy Wednesday, y’all! 🎩🖤🥂
These tips are amazing thank you
I have a first timer button. My sister made sure I had it. It looks different according to cast members and who you talk to!
My husband got his Galactic Hero sticker 2 days ago. He teases me with it ever since because I got a better score than him after 2 rounds... but he was lucky on our last round...
Fun fact Bruce the shark in FInding nemo. He is actually named after Bruce the shark from Jaws the first one. That is where Disney got the name.
Free in the park! ...Looks at price of park ticket. Haha! Thank you for this, though. :)

I love what you do
When bringing a refillable bottle to the parks. Can they be stainless steel or do they have to be plastic?
So you can't ride the monorail around if you don't have tickets? What about going to see the hotels can you do that for free? Where can you go around Disney property without paying for a park ticket?
you can ride any of the transportation and go to any of the resorts without paying extra (though you can't park at most of them).
Beverly is made by Bitters (orange perls)
Im italian. So its my favorite
Thx A J FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!
I love this dfb song at the beginning!
However, you can't go to the Campfires or Sing-a-longs unless you're staying in that particular resort. (You can't even drive in and park unless you are staying there.)

I think you can if you eat there though
Im going in November AJ so excited for Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party
Salt & Straw doesn’t it make known but if you ask one of the members, you could get a free ice cream scoop!
I have to think in the next couple years Disney parks are gonna have paid bathrooms lol
Are the bathrooms still free? If so, they won't be for long.
Don't put that out in the universe.

I always tell people that if they’re going for one day to go to Magic Kingdom. It’s the iconic park, it has the classics and has the most attractions.
If you go to Disneyland on the reg then I recommend Animal kingdom or Epcot. They're the most different from what you can see in California.
for younger kids, do magic kingdom but if they are older, i recomend hollywood studios.
