Because one is never enough...

What, the words “free” and “Walt Disney World” in the same sentence?  Impossible, right? Ok, while a Disney vacation is not exactly free, there are plenty of free things that you can take advantage of on your visit: from things to see and do, to free souvenirs to take home with you. In the spirit of freebies, I have expanded my “top 10” list to include 22 (you can thank me later). In no particular order, here are some of my favorites! Mickey Stickers - Perhaps the first sign that you have arrived- these little white stickers are EVERYWHERE. If you walk away from Walt Disney World without at least one Mickey sticker, you likely didn’t do one of the following: go into a shop, eat at a restaurant, enter a park, visit a ride or attraction, check into a hotel, or make eye contact with a Cast Member. (If you do all of the above and still find yourself stickerless- just find a Cast Member and ask. There is bound to be a shiny new roll hanging around somewhere!)  Mickey Confetti

Do you overlook the Carousel of Progress? Let me tell you why you shouldn't. It is easy to get lost in thrilling rides like Big Thunder Railroad or Space Mountain while visiting the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World; but if you can take a quick break from all of the flashier attractions, tucked in the back of Tomorrowland is a gem that has been a part of the Magic Kingdom since 1975. The Carousel of Progress has been my favorite “ride” since my age was in single digits. Back then, General Electric sponsored it and I always called it the GE House of Electric. As the ride demonstrates, technology is constantly changing and a quick Google search can confirm this terminology was mine and mine alone.   Regardless of its name, the Carousel of Progress has always been a mandatory stop of mine on any trip to Walt Disney World, and it should be on your trips as well.   This attraction was first introduced to the masses at the 1964 World’s Fair.   From what I have h
