How to Visit & Enjoy Disney World for Free | NOT Parks (Part 1)

[@LivinRVision]

Hello LRV Gang! Some friends recently led us on to visiting Disney World and referred to it as "Disney Free", which we had no idea you could do this, especially free. We then found out that there are thousands of people that already knew about this and do it often. Many make it a yearly tradition and others do it often to enjoy the resorts and eat at some of the resorts, Disney Springs or the Boardwalk. There is a lot of free entertainment as well at Disney Springs, which we have enjoyed for quite some time. Disney allows this all because they know people will still spend money at the resorts or shopping areas. However, there are still quite a few people that did not know about this, so we made this video to give families and those that can not afford the very expensive tickets to the theme parks, a way to still be able to enjoy Disney World instead of nothing at all. What a blessing to those people/families. I know if I had kids and could not afford the theme park tickets, my kids would be grateful to at least do this than nothing at all. In fact, the Animal Kingdom Lodge is an African themed resort built on a 33-acre wildlife preserve with three savannas, and over 30 species of wildlife. That is also free to see and how fun that would be alone. We wanted to pin this comment for this video and our Part 2 video due to a very small percent of people that started coming in for 6 hours straight JUST TODAY that seems to be fake accounts, trying to create drama. They are twisting our title of this video and thinking it is referring directly towards the Theme Parks, which it is not. Allow us to explain fully... Walt Disney World: The resort comprises 31 themed resort hotels, nine non-Disney hotels, several golf courses, a camping resort, and other entertainment venues, including the outdoor shopping center Disney Springs. It also contains four theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom), two water parks (Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon). We explain in the video that you can not get in the theme parks for free. Most of us know you're not going to get into theme parks free. lol So as you can see, "Disney World" is not JUST the theme parks and has a ton of other properties. Some people think "Disney World" means "The Magic Kingdom" and others realize it defines the entire place and realize that obviously Disney is not going to allow anyone into their "theme parks" for free. Truth is, if we named the video..."How To Visit Disney World PROPERTIES For Free". We would have gotten the exact same response from those exact same people, because the Theme Parks are considered properties also. What we are showing that you can see for free is more than just the resorts, so in order to elaborate further, it would entail a much longer sentence which is not allowed. We would of had to write out a long sentence in our title to explain the video in more detail which we could not find a proper way...AND, we have to try to come up with something before it goes live. When you change a title later, then ALL of the translations in other languages for the title would have to be manually changed also. When we create these videos, we have very limited time to finish them and move on to the next project. We also use a title and keyword software and are only allowed so many characters or the search results and score will lack heavily and the KZbin algorithm will limit the number of people they put the video in front of in their search. We would like to thank those of you that understand and always appreciate the video(s) we do for you all and we hope our videos will always either help you in some way or at least bring you joy and get a good healthy laugh once in a while. We never ever intend to mislead anyone and will always be straight forward with you and not "sugar coat" anything. Bless you all and stay healthy. 🧡😊🤓

Well I for one am so appreciative of this video!! I am so excited to hear about this and never knew about it at all! So I thank you very much for putting time and effort in creating it and letting us all know! Love an blessings from Ontario Canada :)

[@LivinRVision]

We have never did this before COVID, so it’s hard for us to compare. By the looks of Disney Springs though with the crowds, we would say probably not because it was very busy.

[@loriw2661]

I live 1.5 hours south of DW. I’m able to camp 2 or 3 times a year in Fort Wilderness. As a native Floridian for 60 years, I’ve been to the theme parks many times so when I’m camping in Ft. W., that’s my vacation. I don’t go into the theme parks I just stay in the Fort and use the transportation you did to visit all the different resorts. My Lectric eBike is perfect for the Fort. The movies that show nightly at the campfire & the atmosphere of that amazing campground is all I need. If you have never camped there I HIGHLY recommend it!!! Yes, it’s expensive but it really is worth every penny!

[@celiamartin2907]

OMG, brings back memories of when I was a poor single mom. We would go over and ride the monorail, get dole whip at the Polynesian and swim at Ft. Wilderness. We did pay for River Country when it was open back in the day.

[@dennycappetta2035]

Wow! That guitarist is amazing. As always, the video is superb. Having an opportunity to visit all the resorts and partake in food, sights and entertainment makes a trip to Disney World worthwhile without the hefty price tag. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mypretty2]

But you aren’t really going to Disney World free, just doing the resort’s

[@LivinRVision]

Disney World is the entire area…The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, etc… everything is within Disney World and this is a way to see a lot of the areas OTHER THAN THE PARKS. It’s a lot of fun and we just wanted to share this for those that didn’t know about it or can not afford to go to any of the parks. 👍🏻😊🤓

[@blaster-zy7xx]

Disney World is huge. There is Disney Springs that includes the restaurants, retail, and small stage shows.There is also the boardwalk and all the resorts too as well as the transportation, monorails, boats, ferries, busses etc. Even if you came here and spent several days in the parks, most of the travel sites highly suggest that you take a day off of the parks and explore Disney outside of the parks. We are annual pass holders, have been in the parks many many times and still sometimes still do exactly what they did as a day in Disney without going in the parks. It is just a normal thing or us and it can be great fun.

[@Amaof8]

You are telling secrets that I enjoy on the days I don't go to the parks. If Disney finds out that the secrets are out, they will surely charging money for this. They never miss a beat on separating people from their money.

[@LivinRVision]

They have it figured out…they have it this way because they make money from people visiting their resorts from food, drinks, shops etc that they normally would not get if they did charge.

[@brittanytaylor2863]

You can’t charge people to ride the bus or to enter actual Disney world. It literally has its own highway. Could you imagine someone accidentally turning into Disney world and not meaning too? They would have to go through the whatever toll Disney puts up at the entrance and that would get a lot of people mad. Then what if you had to pay to go into the other hotels just to look around? I highly doubt they would charge for people to enter the lobbies. They may make it where if you’re not staying there you can’t enter. I believe lots of people would be upset if they started charging to ride the buses throughout the park. They could make you pay and have the guests actually staying on property use their magic bands but it all seems too complicated. Let’s hope they don’t but in my opinion it is unlikely

[@redoingwhatsheloves5526]

[@moxymaxx5350]

3/4 of the way through and no pie yet Michelle???? You’re slipping lady!

[@tommajor2940]

Nice! We go here a lot! Next trip Feb 5th. We usually dedicate at least a day (if not two) to doing this. We've got annual passes so we can park at any of the parks for free (relatively speaking). You can also book a dining reservation at any of the resorts and then tell the guards at the gate you have a reservation and they let you park at the resort. We are DVC members and have been doing this all for many years now... You don't have to go to the parks if you don't want to.

[@theglasgownomad6814]

I think you were right in your comments Brian... not many people will know to do this and it's a great way to see parts of the Disney properties that you wouldn't normally visit unless you were staying there. If you haven't done it yet, try to get a reservation for Topolino's (dinner or character breakfast) at the Riviera, they're both awesome. Happy New Year.

[@kylepifer9509]

You told everyone the secrets we have been doing for 30 years 🤭🤫! So much fun 🤩!

[@LivinRVision]

A LOT of people have been doing this for many years which is amazing how many people don’t know about it…including us up until about a month ago. 👍🏻😊🤓

[@RoadsofLife]

Incredible! No way I would of thought of this... and certainly wouldn't have thought about the Swan and Dolphin hotel! We could easily spend a few days just exploring each resort, eating at all their restaurants and visiting their events and stores! And for a little money, splurge on a spa day too! Pure genius! Oh... and that guitar player at the end! TO DIE FOR!!! Be seeing you!

[@moore_2_explore]

Wow! That's pretty creative. Thanks for sharing this really cool way to check it all out!! Oh and the guitarist at the end, phenomenal!!

[@aubree3009]

We do the same!! Thought we were the only ones but noticed many others doing the same thing! It is especially nice during the Christmas time to see the different Christmas décor at each resort. Watching the fireworks from the resorts with the music piped in is a huge plus as well!

[@suzsvideos]

Go to the top of the Contemporary for dinner or just cocktails and an appetizer and watch the fireworks at the castle...for Free. A great date night.

[@sandyruther2936]

Thanks for showing us a different way to see Disney. I never had the desire to go to the park. But I love architecture. I would love to see the different buildings and cultures. Without spending all that money for the park.

The Dole Whip looks amazing. Thanks for all the tips & tricks! This is a great way to get in your steps!!!

[@nancymcshane3501]

The recipe for Pineapple Whip is, combine one "big" scoop of vanilla ice cream with four ounces of pineapple juice and two cups of frozen pineapple chunks in a blender. Downtown Disney was my Son’s favorite freebie! He loved the Lego Store. Last time I was there was the day after 9/11, and we stayed a week in Old Key West. Hardly anyone there, everyone was afraid they would blow up Disney. Rode the Rocking Roller Coaster, and blacked out going upside down! Really loved the Tower Of Terror! Happy New Year!

[@Cajeudy]

That’s not going to the parks lol 😂 I thought you meant being at the theme parks for free which is impossible

[@LivinRVision]

We didn’t say going to the parks… “Disney World” refers to the entire area not a park. We didn’t see the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom etc… We were showing a way to enjoy Disney World for free. There’s a lot of people that do not know they can do this and also can not afford the tickets to the parks, so this is a way to allow those families to still get some enjoyment. They can even take their kids to the Animal Kingdom Lodge and see some animals like giraffes for free also.

[@Cajeudy]

I don’t think this is fun, the fun is at the parks!

[@LivinRVision]

Oh yes, of course the “more fun” is at the parks, hence the price you pay. This video again…was for those that can not afford the tickets to the theme parks.

To help keep my spirits up while slogging through want ads, interviews, and such, we would often go down for a day and "wander" the way you do in this video. We'd even pick up lunch from Subway or a local grocery store, and have a picnic at one of the many beautiful resorts that have a beach (back before the alligator attack).

They have a free zoo with several animals and games for kids and fast food as well. Next the Art of Animation for Little Mermaid , Nemo, Lion King, and Cars. Each area has activities and displays for kids and Car's area has all the vehicles and buildings plus reasonably priced whole family pizzas. We ended at the Floridian for the Gingerbread House and Fireworks show from the patio. Fun transportation in between, this is a full day. Pack food and it's all free!!!

As an adult I would completely enjoy this I'd like to see all the different resorts and restaurants, shops. But if I could not afford to bring my children into at least one park I would never bring them on this tour. For a child this would be awful to see all the parks, rides, and pools and not be able to enjoy any of them.

[@LivinRVision]

You don’t really see any rides and it’s actually real easy to just not take any of the shuttles to any of the theme parks if you think it will make it worse for your kids. There’s plenty of other things to see…like the animals at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

[@amandachilds5290]

So not sure these are still around due to COVID but at Disney springs kids under say 7 might like to ride the carousel and the little train. They are not very expensive and if you can get reservations at RV fort wilderness resort they can spend a little to ride a horse in a ring and try their hand at archery if the kids are older. I don't know that you have to stay there to do these activities but worth a look. They are not free but I don't recall them being super expensive and then there are bike trails and a movie and fire pit event each night for guests but can't recall being asked to show anything back when we did it. Again pre COVID. I am sure someone staying can claim you and your kids as guests if they made friends while playing on the playgrounds or some such. I know we would've been glad to. Also the RV park guests love to decorate for Christmas and have a little parade with their golf carts. You could spend a very fun day exploring and making new friends especially if you are interested in learning about RV Life and ins and outs. Great video. Thanks. Brought back lovely memories

[@Maria-sw3hp]

We've taken my young children to Disney World this way, and they've absolutely loved it. I told them we probably won't be going to the parks until eldest is at least 10.. bc I'm pretty sure their "favorite part" will, otherwise, be the "free" bus rides, or the ice cream, the hotel, the pool, the Mickey waffles.. or something similar.. Ha. 😀 They're still too young to really be able to appreciate the parks.. but they enjoy everything else we get to do for free, or low cost. They do ask to go into the parks, but they quickly move on once we're on the monorail, a bus, the ferry.. we've spent the money on other memorable activities for them, more appropriate for their ages, and they keep asking to go back. We even spent New Year's Eve/Day at Disney Springs, and they had "the best time of their lives." Lol It's certainly been worth it to us. 😀

Another question for you…did you have to make dining reservations? Were there certain restaurants that you couldn’t get into without a reservation? We’re going in Nov 22 and look forward to following in your path. Any references you looked at to plan your “approach path”?

We didn’t end up eating at the resorts other than the lunch at the Wilderness Lodge which was a fast food place. Some places you do need reservations but all the resorts seemed to have places to eat that you don’t need reservations also. Day 1 we just followed the advice from our friends that had did it many times before. Day 2, we just started off at Disney Springs again which will take you to any of the resorts or parks and then went from there to the remainder of the places for the day. It’s pretty simple and if you need to k ow the best route to get to a certain place to start, just ask a worker/bus driver/security. They are a big help. You can also pull up your map of Disney and look at a certain path you want to take and start from there.

Great Information!! Great Information!! I would guess everything is ADA Compliant? Are the boats, buses and Skyline scooter/wheelchair accessible?

[@jamesreed6933]

I know the busses, boats and monorail are but I'm not sure about the skyline.

[@LivinRVision]

Yes they all are. 👍🏻

I wanna take my daughter to Disney world but don’t think I can deal with magic kingdom again (she’s three and would enjoy it but I’m more of an action kind of person and I also hate the amount of people). 🥴 So, I’m thinking of just staying at a resort and enjoy the many free activities which would be way less stressful.

My gosh did you two walk a lot! I was exhausted just watching your video. We have been to WDW hundreds of times since 1975 and still enjoy visiting it when we can. Our Christmas tradition every year to get us in the mood is to ride the monorail to all the resorts to see how they are decorated and to finish by walking around Disney Springs. As you found it is impossible to see it all in two days. We still find places that we missed over the years. We used to camp in Fort Wilderness but they are out of our budget range anymore. Besides it is a total waste of money since 80% of it is closed up due to covid but they are still charging full price. We stay at Tropical Palms in Kissimmee and use our PA. We wish we could have hooked up and taken you two all the high points and shared secrets we have learned over the years to save money and still have a good time. We are looking forward to meeting you two at the Tampa show. Just remember my name Attila like Attila the Hun.

Thanks for sharing! With 30 thousand acres Disney acquired . Plenty of room for expansion! Good way of checking place out for sure . I’ve lived in Fl 50 years. Haven’t been back to Disney since 1980’s I believe. Thanks for sharing! 😁👍 Happy New Year.
