Sometimes, it feels like Mickey Mouse himself is pick-pocketing you when you're at Walt Disney World (maybe that's the real reason why characters meet in the parks). From the many attractions that end in gift shops to the sticker shock you're likely to have when you see the price, it might seem like there is no respite from a visit to Walt Disney World being a "SPEND, SPEND, SPEND!" type of week.
It might seem this way because most souvenirs, gifts, and experiences at Walt Disney World are expensive. Fortunately, some things are FREE! No, I'm not talking "Free" Dining, I mean actual experiences and stuff that's actually free. If you want to get really liberal with the word "free," so much of what's at Walt Disney World could be on the list (everything from FastPasses to the air you breathe could quality). If you're really conservative, nothing is free, as the costs for these things are built into other prices somehow, so you're paying for these things one way or another (there is no free lunch). Our philosophy is somewhere between these extremes, and this list covers things that we feel most reasonable people might feel are "free vacation add-ons," and are a little less obvious. If you do Disney on a budget, this list is a great way to give yourself some added fun without breaking the bank!
Here's the list, broken down into souvenirs, food, entertainment, and the catch-all "other" category.
That wraps up our list of "free" things at Walt Disney World. As mentioned above, depending upon your definition of free, there are many more (or far fewer?) things that are free at Walt Disney World. We've left off most of the regular park entertainment (e.g. World Showcase performers) and hotel perks (e.g. leis at the Poly and beads at French Quarter) off the list.
With all we spend on Walt Disney World vacations, it's nice to see a list with so many things that are basically added bonuses. We think it really shows the way Disney goes above and beyond, and exemplifies one of the reasons we love traveling to Walt Disney World so much!

Great list! I knew most of these, but the trading cards on Disney transportation is definitely new to me.
I'd second the "duh" suggestion of Parks maps and the like. In the digital age, it's easy to forgo the paper maps and show schedules. But we recently were showing the maps and such from our 1996 trip to our daughter and it was a lot of fun to look back through them and see what has changed. (It was less fun to look back and compare the price of park tickets from then!)
If you purchase your Disney vacation through CAA in Canada, you get preferred parking spots depending on availability. Also, in Epcot, a Disney character will read a story to a small group of children. Two years ago, Mary Poppins read a story to about 10-15 kids, including my two kids. It was great for my kids. They loved it.
Great list. On our last trip two weeks ago, we stopped into the Confectionary to browse. As we wandered towards the CM making cotton candy we noticed a small sign in his window with "Today's Password." We said it aloud ( Rock-n-Roll Pluto) and were immediately awarded with a HUGE sampling of cotton candy! What a great, unexpected treat.
I ordered the parks map about 4 years ago and I never ever got them. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem?
I always stay on property but the free parking at Downtown Disney sounds like a decent idea on a day when you are touring EPCOT. Taking a bus to an EPCOT resort and then a short walk to the back entrance wouldn't be too big of a time commitment.
I'm actually a Cast Member at WDW so free parking (or even admission) isn't an issue in my case but I will point out that anyone can visit any of the WDW resorts for free and there's no time limit at all.
Whenever I have friends and family down here on vacation I always encourage them to visit any of the resorts (some are well worth checking out – especially during Christmas) and then take a resort bus (or boat, or monorail) to whatever park they're visiting that day. And in some cases it's even less of a hassle, as is the case when visiting the Polynesian or Contemporary resorts. After you're done touring the grounds, a quick ride on the monorail will have you at the Magic Kingdom entrance and you will have actually spent less time getting from your car to the park entrance than if you would have parked at the MK guest parking lot.
You can read between the lines… And like Tom pointed out, Disney certainly has the way of preventing this. Asking guests for their resort keys (just like they do during Extra Magical Hours at the parks) prior to getting on a bus/boat/monorail would easily "fix" this situation if they were truly concerned about it.
Depending on when you go, us non CMs have to sometimes get a little "loose" with why we're visiting a few resorts. Getting past the guards at Boardwalk or Contemporary and not feel like you're crossing the DMZ gives you butterflies. Quite often at BW they'll direct you across the street to the CM lot behind Hess. And sneaking past the guard at Contemporary, walking to MK, wearing the same shirt you JUST drove through the guard shack and said "um yes, we're going to Chef Mickey's" gets your heart racing. Many times they have signs up at BW, BC, YC saying "Due to a high traffic weekend. Resort guest Parking Only!" I'm sure that turns many away from even trying.
This is so helpful! We leave in 2 weeks & can't wait to take advantage of these freebies!! Thanks.
Never heard the transportation trading cards one!! May have to pick those up for my godsons this trip…
And boy howdy, what have you got against DTD? I LOVE it – it's the way I kick off my trip. (Altho, I guess I can see it if you live there and go all the time……but, still….)
Make sure you ask for Transportation Cards from a variety of different drivers– My son has been collecting these for years & has a ton of cards including monoral, bus, and even water taxi! The drivers have the cards for the mode of transportation they are driving. Sometimes you will get a really extra nice cast member who will give you several at a time.
The transportation trading cards were a huge hit with our son, who was 8 during our last visit. We just missed the boat to our cabin at Fort Wilderness and we were all feeling tired and disappointed to have to wait. The next boat captain arrived for his shift and noticed this immediately. He took out a deck of these cards and told our son all about them and how he could collect them during our stay. The whole episode is still one of our favorite magic memories. The wait for the next boat passed quickly and happily for all of us thanks to that nice captain! Our son still has the cards, too.
I enjoy reading this blog and really appreciate all the great tips and knowledge you share of WDW but, often, your biased remarks can be off putting.
Calling a trip to Downtown Disney a "mistake" and referring to the performers booked for Food & Wine Festival as "washed up" are borderline insulting towards those of us who do enjoy going Downtown Disney (it certainly trumps visiting Monorail loop resorts) and actually like the entertainment lineup for F&W. I've read plenty of your articles and tweets and I get it, you loathe Downtown Disney. But there's no need to constantly keep taking jabs at it. The majority of guests who visit DTD actually do like it, so I don't think it's fair for you to continuously paint it in such a negative light simply because it's not your cup of tea.
Meh, it's just an opinion. I personally like walking around the shops with my mom when I visit Downtown Disney, but I don't think it's a "must-do". In any case, this is an opinion blog and not everyone is going to feel the same way. I think Tom is very entitled to write however he feels about a subject.
-gasp- NOT THE BEVERLY!!!
There was a post a couple of months back on the WDWMAGIC forums about Elliot Dyson. Apparently his last performance at POFQ was in May.
As a previous poster mentioned above regarding the CAA, people who book a package with AAA here in the States get a parking placard that gets you free "Diamond" parking at the parks. I feel like this is a great value at some parks and not so much at others (and I am not sure how much this "free" perk is built into the price of the package (like how Magical Express is "free"). When we parked at Hollywood Studios, Epcot and Animal Kingdom I felt like it was a pretty sweet spot (we were in the first row of Epcot parking right by the turnstiles) but at the TTC parking lot to go to the MK we were still taking the tram and I didn't feel like it saved that much time so it might not be so worth it if you are going to spend a lot of your time there (caveat is that our arrival at MK was the latest in the day we arrived at any of the parks so the spots in the early am might be a little better but you still have to wait for the various transportation vehicles anyway) . Also, keep in mind, this is only true if that parking is "available" at the time of your visit. I guess this means either if the slots are all filled or I guess this also gives Disney leeway to feel like they can reserve the right not to offer it at any given time. The areas shouldn't shift too much from day to day as there are painted stripes on the ground they tell you to follow when you present the placard at the parking booths.
Great tips. And I just wanted to say that, while I don't share your disdain for DTD, I find the humor intended in every remark you make about it (or anything else we disagree on). Keep on keepin' on!
A couple notes:
Water: That's not really a Disney-only freebie, considering that in the US it's illegal to charge for a cup of water.
Disney-Visa Cards: At the start of your visit, go to Downtown Disney's Guest Relations near Arribas Brothers and Team Mickey and get your rewards card. It'll net you free-ish parking and free-ish meals. I don't think we've paid for either of those out-of-pocket in three years.
Art Classes: The classes are also offered (albeit on a tablet screen) at DisneyQuest.
Pilot Licenses: They also used to give them out to kids lucky enough to be sitting in the front cabin of the Monorails. Obviously, they don't allow people up there anymore.
Wi-Fi: This isn't an in-park freebie, but I recommend getting the My Disney Experience app. It's useful as both a map and to know how wait times/Fastpasses are. iOS and Android.
I have used the Disney Experience app and find it to be pretty useless. It's the same info you can get on the website and from any cast member. A better app is the Lines app from TouringPlans.com. It's updated by other users in real time. A few years ago, the wait time for Toy Story Mania at the entrance was for 90 minutes. The Lines app had just been updated at 40 minutes. (Trust me, that's SHORT for this ride.) So, we snagged the opportunity! This ride also has great decor inside so the wait isn't boring.
My daughter picked up a pocket full of free Mickey Mouse shaped confetti after the afternoon Magic Kingdom parade. It would make good scrapbooking material if you're into that it.
You can ask for a bag of clean confetti from city hall at MK. Another "free" item.
GREAT IDEA!! We will be there in 75 days and can not wait!
Five things you missed:
1) Free passports are also available during the Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT.
2) The Voices of Liberty performances at The American pavilion at EPCOT are NOT to be missed.
3) The Dapper Dans wander Main Street USA and perform some amazing barbershop harmonies.
4) Main Street USA transportation via bus, horse-drawn carriage, and other amazing vehicles.
5) Smiles! If you need one, just approach any cast member and flash one – You're certain to get one in return.
I'll add one thing about your suggestions for Photopass: If you're not too concerned about high resolution (i.e. being able to blow up a print to an 8×10 or larger size) then every picture you had taken with Photopass can be acquired with the help of a friend or relative that's familiar with web development.
The photos you acquire for free are relatively small (jpegs ranging from 600k to 1MB in size) but are decent enough for sharing on Facebook or other social networks.
If you're still looking to reproduce that image in print, you're going to want to pay for the image.
Hi Tom – I'm new to your blog, but really like it. I know that if you stay at the Grand Californian at Disneyland, you can request free trivia challenges. When you turn them in, and if all your answers were correct, you receive a button corresponding to the ride the challenge was based on. Do they have anything like that at WDW? I love doing trivia challenges. Thanks!
Wilderness Lodge has a find the hidden mickeys search game for kids.
The African cast members at Animal Kingdom Lodge also have trading cards with information about their native country. I love chatting with them about their lives back home and it's a great little souvenir. Just ask for one.
I'm a former Cast Member from Innoventions (Epcot). At the The Great Big Bank Adventure (Innoventions West) we gave stickers to kids (and some adults too) for free –it's a great way to make kids stop crying when they have to say goodbye to Piggy.
Another freebie, from Innoventions East: on the paper venue, you can actually make a small piece of paper, stamp with Jiminy Cricket and take home!
Thank you for all the tips on the blog, I really like it! I'm planing a back-to-Disney trip and it's been very useful!
Being cheeky about the Beverly. Meanie.
Another "sometimes" freebie……when you go to the Art of Animation drawing class, sometimes the artist of the day will do a little trivia at the end of class (if there's still some time to kill). If you get it right, they will give you their drawing that they did when they taught the class. I've gotten two drawings that way (felt like such a Disney Dork cause they were semi-hard questions about non Fab Five characters).
Also, when my daughter was small, we took some laminated business sized thank you cards to the parks with us. Whenever a cast member was especially nice or did some small favor for us (taking a group photo, really engaging my daughter in a conversation, letting us ride up front on a ride, etc….) my daughter would give them one of these thank you cards. We were not just willy nilly giving them out….they had to do something a little extra to get one. Because of her little thank you cards, we've gotten some nice perks. The highlights have been getting chosen to sit in the front row of the Lion Section at Festival of the The Lion King show in AK, a free frozen banana and a free trading pin. Small things, but well worth the effort of making the cards.
Emily, that is so sweet! What a great idea to show appreciation. I'm sure positive comments and appreciation are rare for the Cast Members. When I was 10, I went to Disneyland for the very first time. I saw a child walk up to Chip and Dale and punch one of them in the stomach. Knocked the wind out of the poor guy. I'd imagine they get much more negativity than people realize. All while having to smile and be sweet to us. Your thank you card idea is inspiring!
we haven't been since 2006 but back then if it was your birthday you could ask at the park entrance if there was a phone message for the birthday boy/girl or even adult and you were given the phone to receive a birthday wish from goofy .
also on some rides when wearing your birthday button you could be given a birthday card.we stopped in the grand floridean and it was our childs birthday , we had advised them in advance and the birthday person received a character signed birthday card in our room .
if you purchase a year pass, this did not used to be too much more than 2 week pass you used to get free parking in all Disney parks.as on our last 2 visits we have stayed for 4 weeks we saved a load of cash , these passes also gave you a 10 percent discount at world of Disney in dtd we also had a free behind the sceens tour in the world of Disney which was really interesting , but as I said it was in 2006 so it may have changed since then
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this in a previous comment so just in case…At the Animal Kingdom Park, children can get a Wilderness Explorer book at any of the WE booths set up around the park. At each booth, kids can do a puzzle, activity, etc. to earn a badge sticker to place in their book. My 7-year-old son loves his and can't wait to go back to earn more badges. Also, the AK Lodge (and possibly more) of the resort hotels offer free Hidden Mickeys scavenger hunt sheets specific to that hotel. They are available at the check in/guest services counter.
Great tips!! The celebration buttons are fun and well worth the time to pick them up. A few years ago my husband and I were visiting Disney World on our anniversary, we wore our buttons to dinner and received a beautiful chocolate cake for dessert that said happy anniversary! It was so special…and FREE!!
We stay at Port Orleans French Quarter where they always have balloons at the check in and concierge booths that they will give your child a free balloon if you just ask! We took my 4 yr old several times to get one and we would attach it to our stroller to walk throughout the park that day. I took a black marker to draw on it our favorite disney character, Wall-e!
Don't know of this has been mentioned, but if you're staying at Saratoga Springs, when you check in your little princess might be lucky enough to get a free tiara in the lobby. My sister and I were given one a few years ago. You might be able to just ask for one.
Hey Tom,
Just an FYI. You said you're not sure about the license for the Jungle Cruise. We went back in November 2012 and my daughter was lucky enough to actually "drive" the boat through the cave.
She did received an Official Guest Skipper card. I'm not sure how it works since we've road many times and not seen this. She sure was excited and it was definitely the highlight of our day.
I didn't search through the comments to see if anyone mentioned this or not, but another "freebie" comes at a cost. When you purchase your souveniers from the shops in any of the 4 parks and even perhaps downtown disney, instead of carrying it around with you all day, you can request to have it taken directly to your room.
This is something that is nice when we find something that we really liked with small kids so they're not begging to go back to the store and get the gift or wanting to play with it all day while ignoring the other things at the parks.
Tom, you do a great job! Anyone who will take the time to teach others about things is super (especially about Disney). There is always an opinion in every case, along with facts too (you have that difference in the medical field as well). I love reading your take on things & sometimes I disagree but you provide the other side that needs looked at so that a person can make a decision. Keep up the great work!
In June 2012, we received free stickers from the captain of the boat that runs between the Ft. Wilderness campground/Wilderness Lodge/Contemporary Resort. Of course, the new Wilderness Explorer program at Animal Kingdom gets you a sticker to wear & you can earn up to 30 merit stickers for the handbook.
Elliot Dyson has been replaced at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter. Tom Casey now performs at Scat Cat Lounge on Friday – Monday nights at 8:30, 9:30 & 10:30PM.
The schedules for the outdoor movies shown at each of the Disney resorts is posted on the first of the month at http://www.buildabettermousetrip.com/activity-outdoormovie.php
Can you still push the buttons on the bridge above Kali River Rapids that spray the riders below? I think this counts as a freebie when you consider the fact that Universal charges you for the evil joys of soaking total strangers on Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls.
I just found your blog and I love it! I am always looking for new tips and ideas to enjoy Disney. My husband and I have been annual pass holders for 3 years and we go to Disney world at least 25 days a year. We have the Tables in Wonderland card. We love the discount on dining but we equally love the free parking that comes with the card. If we go to a park before 5pm, for less than 3 hours, we get reimbursed for parking at guest relations. After 5pm we don't have to pay for parking at all. We just show our card at the parking kiosk and they don't charge us.
We are 2 adults with no children so we don't usually start the day too early. We usually start our days around 11am. We like to start the day with a treat, my personal favorite being an Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake from Liberty Tree Tavern at M.K. It costs about $8.00 after discount and gratuity is added. Parking is $15. Therefore we save $7.00 AND we get an awesome dessert.
Sometimes we start the day with a milkshake or sundae from the 50's prime time café at Hollywood Studios. On these days we save $9 in parking fees. The TIW card will save us at least $150 in parking this year alone(that savings includes the prices of our food and the $100 fee for the card!)
The Tables in Wonderland card says before 5pm you need to be at the park for dining only, and leave after 3 hours in the park. We usually do leave within the 3 hour window and go to another park after 5pm, but they don't follow you out to your car to make sure you leave after 3 hours if you want to stay in the park. If anyone has issues with this being "immoral", than don't do it. For us, we have spent thousands over the years at Disney(gladly!) but if we can save money on parking we will.
We took advantage of a lot of these on our last trip. The one that we missed out on was the Art Classes at Hollywood Studios – we left it for too late in the day, and couldn't do it, and make it to Fantasmic on time. So it will have to wait for the next trip!
Hi! Could you please direct me to your post about the Chase Visa benefits at Epcot? I have a Disney Visa (Chase) card and have a half day planned at Epcot but cannot find your post on it! Thanks!
Love the perks and try to use them as much as possible over the years. Thanks for the updates though!
Excited to learn about the hidden Mickey and other books/stickers as well as the transportation cards etc.. My Grandson will be 9 when they come for a visit this year and being a cub scout I am sure this will really be a fun experience for him!
I was just at WDW about a month ago and flashed my Birthday button at the Wave Lounge and scored 2 free glasses of champagne They were also giving away really nice stickers that day at The little mermaid ride
Did I read right about free VALET parking with a Tables in Wonderland card???!!! I am a DVC member and live in Florida and also have to pay the 15.00 a day resort fee (Don't get me started on this!) but if it is true my week or more stay will more than pay for the card!!
Love your blog Tom and have been a Disney freak err fan since 71 but your articles have brought me over the edge and rejuvenated my passion TY!
P.S. I even moved to Fla. in 99 to be close to the mouse house lol Tue story!
Don't forget about magic cookie hour at Wilderness Lodge! Every saturday from 2-3 they have a free sugar cookie and decorating for kids. I know that Animal Kingdom Lodge does something similar as well.
Hi Tom!
We will be at WDW March 25th – April 1st and are DVC members staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge (Jambo). I read that there are black-out dates for pool hopping during this time. How strictly do they enforce this? I would like to think that my husband, daughter, and I are very conscientious and respectful of our fellow vacationers, but we really did want to check out other pools. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I love the free maps you can order online. We don't use them at the park (especially with My Disney Experience app) but we scrapbook with them after our trip. We'll order them with our family name and the attractions we love most on them.
In the past if you're in American Adventure at the right time of the day (when the Fife and Drum corp come out to announce the Declaration of Independence) you can get a free copy of the Declaration! My kids still have theirs from 2007.
We were given leis when visiting the Polynesian (not resort guests) in December 2013.
Another thought about the Photo Pass – getting pictures with every cast photographer you see – a free way to share your trip with family! You will get the website address and password on your free card. The pictures are uploaded usually at least twice a day and grandparents can see where you are and share in your vacation as it is happening! Especially sweet if they have contributed to the expense!
Thanks for reminding me of these. I learned a few new things, too! My favorite stop is Club Cool. Your tip about Beverly? Spot on! 😉 My family all agreed!
Great tips! Thanks! Another free entertainment we always enjoy are the magicians, jugglers, etc that appear nightly along the Boardwalk. Usually near the Flying Fish and the Mercantile Shop under the Boardwalk Villas. Some of our family members have been chosen from the crowd to assist on occasion. We have a great picture of our son-in-law spinning a plate on a stick!
The new Pirate Adventure game in Magic Kingdom uses paper maps that you get to keep when you're done. They're pretty cute. We dressed up like pirates for my son's birthday trip and spent the morning riding POC, playing the game and doing Jack Sparrow's Pirate Tutorial. That's another one that gives away a souvenir.
Hi: Several years ago when I took my scouts to Disney we picked up some "Wild about Safety" cards with Timon and Pumba. They were available at Guest realtins in each park and numbered. They were really neat, talking about Disney safety, keeping you hooves inside the car and things like that. I was wondering if they still pass them out since I didn't see it here. I found this webpage, with coloring pages. It is a fun way to prepare kids for going, http://disneywildaboutsafety.com/downloads/coloring-sheets/ Online I found differetn mentins about the cards, At Guest relations, At guesta relations in Animal Kingdom, and differnt cast members in the park. I love your Blog!
Disney's First Aid kit also includes stuff to treat and cover burns. One trip I burnt myself pretty badly on my last day of work before vacation (I work in a restaurant and put my arm down on a coffee pot warmer). When we got to Orlando, the first thing we did was go to Hollywood Studios (then MGM Studios) and ride the Rock n Roller Coaster. This pulled off whatever skin was left covering my burns. Every morning we would stop at the First Aid station at one of the parks and they would dress the burn for me. They told me to take the dressing off every night in order to let the burn breathe. They took very good care of me.
I realize that this is a bit dated. I work at Port Orleans and it's worth noting that Elliot no longer performs at French Quarter. He hasn't in quite some time. Very sad as it was always fun to listen to him while working.
I recently got a Snow White and 7 Dwarfs sticker and a Woody and Buzz Lightyear sticker.Great Freebies.
Marisa, where did you get those stickers? I have sticker-crazed kids!
Just to post this info in case anyone should need it.
My daughter and I flew down to WDW celebrating her 21st birthday ( husband and son stayed at home) we were staying on property when I got ill (our first day there) and had to go the the Emergency room via ambulance (not my idea of my first ride at Disney World, lol) The manager of our resort told me they would get us back to our resort after I was treated. (A taxi picked me and my daughter up and took us back to our resort.) They even faxed my prescriptions to a local pharmacy and had them delivered for me ( I of course paid for the scrips.) It was comforting under the circumstances that they made sure that I was well cared for being a guest of theirs. They went over and above to check up on me throughout our stay. So hear is a shout out to the Staff at the WDW resorts for looking out for their guests. THANK YOU WDW
On one of or trips, we were staying at Port Orleans. My daughter and mom had the flu. I went down to the food court to try to find chicken noodle soup, jello, etc. They were awesome. They made me several comfort food items and would not let me pay for them. They also told me to come back if I needed more. I appreciated this so much.
And when driving the vehicle down a straight road, it will

Hi Tom – LOVE your blog! Pictures are gorgeous and information very helpful! Plus, you and Sarah make an adorable Disney-loving couple! Question… What is the second picture on this post? It looks like some type of vintage Magic Kingdom booklet, and I LOVE vintage Disney so I had to ask Thanks!
Don't forget that if you are staying at a Disney property, anything you purchase in the parks can be sent to your hotel for you for free. At least they used to do that several years ago.
It also contains the mental and psychological injuries you skilled because of this

However, in order to ensure you receive these benefits,

and in these types of cases it is critical to have a knowledgeable attorney at your

You can get a free Monorail sticker if you ask one of the CMs that works by the monorail. They have one that looks like the wings you can get on an airline with a monorail in the center. It is gold and black and looks very retro.
you can't use the mugs anymore from old trips the mugs now have computer chips in them and they program the chips to how many days you have paid for, after your trip is over they soda machines won't work on a old mug,
Not sure if someone already mentioned this but the confetti that is thrown during the parades is an awesome free souvenir. It is super colorful and shaped like Mickey.
I went to the WDW website to order my FREE customized Park Maps of Walt Disney World Resort. You could order them back in November but when I looked today, they are no longer offered.
I called to confirm and was advised that they recently discontinued the maps.
Wish I would have ordered mine back in November.
Last time we went to WDW in 2011 we were at Hollywood Studios for Fantasmic, we are avid hockey fans of our hometown team and were trading hockey jibes with another family all in good fun. We were headed to a Turkey Leg stand. They were slow, and the CM overheard our conversation and said we sounded like fun. She told me that if I would go to the middle of the street and gobble like a turkey I would get my turkey leg for free, one of the cast members came out with me and I ended up getting TWO turkey legs and our two drinks for free! It's something they do occasionally when business is slow. It was a fun perk for my very first visit.
I wanted to ask about transportation. I am not staying at a Disney resort and I was told I would not be able to use any Disney transportation the only way I would be able to use the transportation was only if I had a reservation? can anyone confirm.
We didn't stay on property our first time and we used the busses to another resort to get to the waterpark but this was back in 2011. They may have changed how things are done.
If you are in position at the ticket and transportation center to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks, are you also in a place where the Electrical Water Pageant will go by?
Great Blog!
If we book Disney World and purchase meal plan, and in the future they offer it for free will they credit your account?
Thank you,
where can i get these?
Florida tap water tastes a bit different than what my friends and I are used to but the heat was unbearable and we weren't going to pay almost 3 dollars for a bottle of water so we went to a quick service and asked for a cup of water (no cost) but we didn't like it! So next time we asked for a cup of ICE and waited for it to melt and the taste was different but in a much better way. So if you don't like FL tap water ask for a cup of ice instead.

Video:How to Be a Good Listenerwith Christine Hassler
Learn how to be a good listener so that you can engage in conversations and focus on what is being said. Here are some tips for how to be a good listener.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Be a Good Listener
Hi, I'm Christine Hassler and I'm a life coach, author and speaker, here today with About.com to share with you five ways to be a better listener.
Try Active Listening to Be a Good Listener
The first tip is to really listen. A lot of people refer to this as active listening. Think of how many times someone has been speaking and only half of you is listening, the other half is thinking about what you need to do or what you're going to say next. Really practice active listening to someone, so they have your full attention.
Practice Perception Checking to Be a Good Listener
Next, practice perception checking, ensuring that the message sent is the message received. For instance, if someone shares with you something, reflect back to them what you heard: "I heard you say that you're having a hard time at work and that you're thinking about looking for another job. Is that accurate?" That way it shows that you really heard what that person was saying.
Ask Questions to Be a Good Listener
The third way to be a better listener is to ask, not advise. All of us really want to feel heard. So instead of giving your opinions or your judgments about situations, ask the person what they're thinking or what they're feeling. Really take an interest in what the person is saying by asking questions rather than imposing your opinions on it.
Focus on the Person to Be a Good Listener
Number 4 is to keep the focus on the person you're listening to. So often in conversation it's tempting to want to relate. Someone tells you a story and you want to talk about how that happened to you or how you had a similar experience. But it really takes the focus off the person that's sharing. So save your stories for later and really keep your attention on the person you're listening to.
Ask If They Want to Vent to Be a Good Listener
And finally, when you're in a conversation with someone, ask them if they really just want to be heard or of they actually just want help brainstorming. A lot of times people just need to vent and they don't want to try to find a solution. But sometimes they really do and you can help them find it by asking them questions, by reflecting back on what you heard and helping them come to a solution that they get to on their own just with your active listening guidance.
Thanks for listening. You can learn more online, at About.com.

The 23-year-old completed a long-term deal with the Reds on Wednesday and was in the stands to watch his new side comfortably beat Sunderland 3-0.
Having left Manchester City in the summer of 2009 with six goals in 32 senior appearances - the majority as substitute - he found life equally tough at Chelsea.
In 96 games for the Stamford Bridge club he hit 24 goals, although he still made only 31 Premier League starts in three and a half years.
His best spell was in a five-month loan period at Bolton in 2011 where he scored eight goals in 12 matches and Rodgers hopes the England international can reproduce that form.
"He is a player that I've know since he was about 12 years of age," said Rodgers. "He made his name as a youngster at Manchester City when he was one of the top young strikers in European football.
"You make a move as a young player and it is always going to be difficult because what he is is a goalscorer and the only spell he's had that was at Bolton.
"When he has played games he has scored goals. He gives us that power, presence and mobility at the top end of the field and the biggest thing is hunger.
"We are bringing in a player who knows he has to perform if he wants to be at one of the biggest clubs in the world and this is probably his last chance.
"I have every faith that over his time here he will prove a real hit and it gives us another attacking threat at the top end of the field.
"Daniel will learn off the top players who are here."

If you are a parent who has an older child, you can save money by letting them stay at home alone, but you should consider "is it safe" and "most of all is it legal". Before making this decision, check with your local Children and Family Services office to find out the State of Florida guidelines for leaving children "home alone". Ask the C&F representative to provide you with a brochure or other written documentation for your records. Especially in a case where the older child will be responsible for caring for the younger child(ren).

If you are looking to Jailbreak your iPod Touch 4G or 3G running iOS 5, you will be glad to know this is now possible with RedSn0w. The Dev-Team have even recently updated RedSn0w to improve reliability while jailbreaking the iOS 5 firmware. This new version of RedSn0w is RedSn0w 0.9.9b6, and if you are currently jailbroken on the iOS 5 firmware using a previous version of RedSn0w, we recommend re-jailbreaking your iPod Touch with RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 (if you are re-jailbreaking your iPod Touch ensure you uncheck install Cydia).
Note #1: RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 is a tethered jailbreak.
Note #2: If you would like to update to iOS 5 you can follow our detailed guide by clicking here.
Jailbreak iOS 5 On iPod Touch With RedSn0w 0.9.9b6
Step 1: Download RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 for Windows from the iJailbreak Downloads Section or using the download mirror below:
Mirror #1: RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 (Windows)
Step 2: Once you have downloaded RedSn0w to your desktop you will need to launch it. Do this now by clicking the executable file.
Step 3: With RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 up and running you will simply need to click the Jailbreak button.
Step 4: You will come to a screen where you will need to put your iPod Touch into DFU mode. Read through and follow the instructions presented to you which is to plug in and power off your iPod Touch and click the Next button.
Step 5: When you click the Next button you will need to follow the instructions presented to you to put your iPod Touch into DFU mode.

Step 6: After you successfully enter DFU mode RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 will now prepare the jailbreak data. Once that's done ensure the "Install Cydia" option is checked and click the Next button.
Step 7: RedSn0w will begin jailbreaking your iPod Touch. DO NOT interrupt or use your Mac during this time. When your iPod Touch is finished being jailbroken it will reboot into a jailbroken state.
Optional: Booting Tethered – When you Jailbreak your iPod Touch running the official iOS 5 you will have a tethered Jailbreak. Meaning in order for your iPod Touch to turn back on you will need to boot it using RedSn0w (this applies every time your iPod Touch looses power). To do this launch RedSn0w again and click the Extras button > then click the Just boot button and you will need to put your iPod Touch into DFU mode again.

Sugar High: Strudel at Feasting Fox
By Mabel Suen
Self-proclaimed culinary evangelist Beth Huch arranged the feast behind closed doors as the first stop on her Market Street gastro tour, one of hundreds of public and private fine-dining tours she has hosted since she launched her company in May 2012. Huch has hosted everyone from local couples to international chemists in neighborhoods including Maplewood, Clayton, downtown and DeMun.
The bubbly Huch, who for sixteen years worked in public relations for luxury hotels and celebrity chefs, prefers an old-school face-to-face approach, which makes sense considering her penchant to wine and dine. Her lengthy résumé in hospitality includes PR for L'Ecole Culinaire and founding the St. Louis chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier.
STL Culinary Tours, admittedly a more highbrow personal experience crafted for devout foodies, offers a true behind-the-scenes experience that has caught the attention of national publications such as Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
Public tours in small groups range from $125 to $185 per person (depending on the neighborhood) and include tax, gratuity, complimentary valet parking, up to ten courses with cocktail pairings, and, of course, the opportunity to hang out with the guys (and gals) in charge.
"What I really enjoy is that it allows for chefs and guests to interact in a way that's extremely unusual and a lot of fun," says Hale. "You can't do that when you're just going in to eat at a restaurant."
Upcoming tour dates: Market Street: Saturday, July 13, noon; $150.

Ten undergraduates awarded Gilman Scholarships to study abroad
1/24/2012 | David Schug, National and International Scholarships Program | 217-244-0254; firstname.lastname@example.com
[ Email | Share ] CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Ten University of Illinois undergraduates have been awarded Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships to study abroad. Illinois had the most recipients in the Big Ten and is among the top 10 schools in the nation in terms of number of recipients.
Nine students are studying abroad this semester; one will do so in the summer.
The nationally competitive Gilman Scholarship application process is coordinated cooperatively at Illinois, with the Office of Student Financial Aid and various campus study abroad offices advertising the scholarship and the National and International Scholarships Program offering reviews of student materials and feedback to Illinois applicants.
"Illinois is extremely proud of our hard-working undergraduates who make the extra effort to study abroad, especially those from the economically disadvantaged populations the Gilman Scholarship serves," said David Schug, director of the National and International Scholarships Program.
U. of I. recipients, their programs and destinations include (EDITORS: See list).
The U. of I. recipients are among the 900 U.S. undergraduates awarded scholarships from a pool of 2,700. To be eligible for the award, students must demonstrate financial need by receiving a federal Pell Grant for their current studies. Scholars generally receive $2,500-$5,000 to apply toward their study abroad program.
The Gilman Scholarship Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to diversify the kinds of students who study abroad and their destinations. Over the past decade, Gilman recipients have studied in 116 nations. Applications for summer or fall 2012 Gilman study abroad scholarships are due by March 1.
The Gilman Scholarship program honors U.S. Rep. Benjamin A. Gilman, of New York, a former chair of the House Foreign Relations Committee who retired in 2002 after serving 30 years in the House of Representatives.

Hepatitis E

- How do I catch it?
- Where is it found?
- What's my risk?
- What are the symptoms?
- Can it be treated?
- How can I prevent it?
- Links
What is hepatitis E?
Hepatitis E is a virus spread by contaminated food and water. It is one of several viruses, such as hepatitis A and B, which can cause liver damage. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) can be more dangerous for pregnant women and anyone with liver problems.
How do I catch it?
The most common way to get HEV is by drinking water polluted with sewage. You might also get it by eating undercooked, contaminated food, such as pork products. Direct person-to-person spread is rare. HEV has recently been linked to blood transfusions and organ transplants.
Where is it found?
HEV is found anywhere with poor sanitation. The largest epidemics have occurred in South Asia, Mexico and Africa. Cases and small outbreaks have been reported in European countries, including the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Some of these cases were linked to eating pork or contact with pigs. Evidence of infection has been found in about 15% of adults living in England.
The largest reported outbreak was in India in 1991, with over 79,000 cases. It was thought to have been caused by drinking water contaminated with sewage from the River Ganges.
HEV is one of the leading causes of hepatitis in adults in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.
What's my risk?
Your risk of contracting HEV is higher if you are visiting friends and relatives, staying in risk areas for a long time and/or visiting places with poor sanitation. Outbreaks are more common after heavy rains and flooding, as drinking water can become tainted with untreated sewage.
It is hard to say exactly how many UK travellers catch HEV, as their destination is not always recorded when the diagnosis is made. When the destination was known, the most common countries visited were; India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
In 2008, HEV was diagnosed in passengers on a world cruise. Altogether, 789 of the cruise passengers, from all over the world, were tested and 33, including four from the UK, were found to be infected. They were thought to have caught HEV by eating contaminated seafood.
What are the symptoms?
HEV infections can go by unnoticed, be a mild, self-limited feverish illness, or a more typical hepatitis syndrome. Symptoms, in those who have typical hepatitis, appear two to nine weeks after exposure and last 1 to 4 weeks. These can include:
- Extreme tiredness
- Fever (high temperature)
- Itchy skin
- Loss of appetite
- Sickness
- Stomach pain
- Yellow skin/eyes (jaundice)
|Pregnant women have the greatest risk of serious illness, liver failure and death.
Can it be treated?
There is no specific drug or medicine, treatment is supportive.
How can I prevent it?
Reduce your risk with careful food and water precautions and good personal hygiene. Make sure anything you drink has been treated or purified and that food, particularly meat and seafood, is thoroughly cooked. Pregnant women must be particularly aware of the importance of this.
Currently there is no vaccine to protect against HEV.

Rated 3.7 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FP-Karen very pretty I agree with the last review, I almost didn't order it. I'm SO glad I did. I had it on and my husband said "ooh - PRETTY" which trust me, I LOVE CLOTHES, -- my oh so cute husband ---well, he can barely focus when I talk about clothes. By the way washed it -in a net bag -cold-delicate-hang to dry came out great. 9.8.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cosmos don't try to unbutton it at 4'10" 100lbs even the xs/s is quite large and i had to cut 6 inches off the bottom, but it is a lovely and comfortable dress. there is quite a bit of bunching at the waist when drawn, but nothing that can't be adjusted to look good. it's supposed to be loose-fitting anyway. it's a snag risk, but the quality is pretty good - gauzy and light but still substantial; however, when i unbuttoned it to fix the hem, two of the buttons disintegrated in my hands. not just snapped in half but actually shattered into 5-6 pieces. and i didn't receive any replacement buttons in my shipment. bottom line: great dress, terrible buttons. 12.17.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by MGiovanna Wearing it all the time! I nearly didn't order this dress because of the price, and I still think it's very expensive for what it is, so 4* because of this. However, I am so glad I did go for it because it is paying its way. It is the easiest and most flattering dress to just put on and go in the summer, is really comfortable and adaptable to dressing up or down. People keep telling me they love it and want to know where I got it.. Today I have it on with loads of brass jewellery and the Jeffrey Campbell Minimal Heel in tan. Wore it the other day with black boots and will do this more in the autumn.. Great with a hat like the Clipperton Fedora. It looks precisely as it does in the pictures. The fabric is quite a loose-weave muslin and you have to watch out not to catch it, but it's not a problem. It is heavy enough to hang well, is a little sheer and I am wearing a short, very light-weight ivory slip I got with an FP printed hi-lo kaftan last year. Sizing-wise, I'm not surprised to hear that smaller girls are finding the XS/S too big, though it is meant to be a relaxed style and the drawstring at the waist makes it adjustable. I am 5'6" UK 14/16 and have the M/L. I like the room but I think it's possible the XS/S might have fit me too: it is generous. It's nice and long, a proper maxi length, just hits my toes. Hope that's helpful: with the long turnaround in delivery and exchange times to the UK, I rely a great deal on other people's reviews about fit and sizing! 8.21.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by 71susan WAY TOOOO BIG I'm about 5'3, 103 lbs. I wear an XS/S. I was aware when I ordered this dress that it would be enormous based on the measurements that were given and a review one person left. But I don't understand why they would have made it so incredibly big. Like one of the reviews said, it's like an XL. It would have been way cuter if they just made it to fit like it does on the blonde model. You can cinch the waist due to the drawstring, but this makes your waist look thicker. There's just way too much fabric that bunches up in this area. And I personally don't like baggy clothes, so I will try and alter this dress to fit cause I really love the style. The length for me almost hits the floor, might shorten it just a bit too. It's a shame that they designed such a cute dress with this kind of fit. If you like clothes that look like they're too big for you, then this is the right dress 8.2.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by danyinlakech super cute ! I bought this in the store and have been using it every other day ! cute and comfortable....who could ask for more 7.8.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by megsy_f Runs huge! The key should be that there are only two sizes to choose from. I'm 5'4", 115-120 lbs, 34A and the XS/S was enormous, but it felt like I was wearing an XL rather than anything that would qualify as "S". Also, it came out of the box and packaging inexplicably perfumed. I'm sure it'd air out very easily, but head's up to those who are scent sensitive. That said, none of the other 5 items I got in the same shipment had the perfume. 6.28.2013
