6. Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Spell Cards
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, the interactive card game that takes place throughout the park, results in some of my favorite free souvenirs—spell cards. If you’re looking to add to your Disney collection, be sure to start a Sorcerers game and pick up your cards during each visit to the park.
5. Maps/Brochures
Disney maps and brochures can be extremely useful when scrapbooking after your trip, and the best part is that they’re free. Many craft stores sell Disney scrapbook stickers, often at very expensive prices, so taking some maps home with you may be a more affordable way to craft after your trip.
4. Stickers
Many Cast Members give out stickers of Disney characters to guests. The stickers vary by location, so be sure to keep an eye out for them and see how many you can collect.
3. Club Cool Soda
Club Cool, located in Epcot, is the place to go if you’re looking to sample different sodas from around the world—for free. Free drinks (water excluded) are not easy to find at Walt Disney World, so I would take this opportunity to try some new drinks without paying for them at a restaurant.
2. Celebration Buttons
There are celebration buttons available for almost any occasion—birthdays, family reunions, engagements, weddings, or anniversaries. Not celebrating a specific event? Pick up an ordinary “I’m celebrating!” button, and write in your own event. Some of the most interesting buttons are the ones that go outside the norm, and celebrate things individual triumphs, or simply spending time in Walt Disney World.
1. Pictures
To me, pictures are the best souvenir I could ask for on vacation. Pictures allow you to capture memories and relive those experiences over and over even when you’re back at home after your vacation. The cool thing about taking pictures in Disney is that everyone can be included in the pictures—when you see a PhotoPass photographer, don’t feel like you can’t have your photo taken with him or her because you aren’t planning on buying the photo. Any Disney photographer will gladly take your photo for free using your camera or cell phone.
