(PART 2) How to Visit & Enjoy Disney World for Free | Parks Too Expensive?

[@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. 🧡😊🤓

I’ve come to the conclusion that sharing your vision/videos/adventures with us is very therapeutic. When I’m stressed I simply watch one or two of your segments and my stress level and blood pressure drop immediately. Your kindness in sharing your lives with us is off the charts! Thank you for inspiring all of us to get on with our lives. Thank you for just being you.

[@LivinRVision]

What a nice thing to say and for us to read! That makes us so very happy, it is our main priority to bring happiness to others. 🧡😊🤓

[@ejoern]

Your videos are very informative and entertaining. My wife Becky and I Eric appreciate your lighthearted fun loving humor.

[@LivinRVision]

Thank you, we’re so glad you enjoy them. 🧡😊🤓

[@stephaniecraig308]

Hi first time viewer when I watched part 1 yesterday. I like your channel so far. We do free Disney a lot when we visit family in Florida. I have to say you missed out when you didn't visit Animal Kingdom Lodge. The lodge is beautiful and they have decks and overlooks where you can watch animals on their savannah. They also have amazing African artifacts and art displayed in the lobby. As for fireworks viewing, I prefer the view from the Contemporary 4th floor outdoor staircase and above. The Poly is nice too, but not my favorite.

[@LivinRVision]

Welcome! 🧡 Thanks for sharing. There’s a few places that people watch the fireworks and the Contemporary 4th floor was an option. We plan to go back but probably not do another video. Those 3 days we went were our first time, so naturally we are going to miss a lot because we simply didn’t have time to do it all. We have really enjoyed it so far! Thanks again!

[@tomkranauer929]

Tip. There is a large free balcony at the Contemporary hotel which is the best place to watch the MK fireworks. Shhhh!

[@LivinRVision]

That’s what we heard. First time doing this so we chose to go up closer this time. Next time we’ll have to try it. 👍🏻

[@abbymoser8996]

I love the Magic Kingdom fireworks footage… magical as only Disney can deliver!!🌎🌎😎💕

[@suzannec2188]

Thank you for the video you did on seeing Disney without spending money going into the parks. We used your video as a guideline and just spent 2 days having a ball - seeing all the decorations and riding on the monorail, boats and buses. Kids would not like this but for us - it was perfect! In total we spent $35 - most of that was on a couple of Dole whips!! We had to have Dole whips! Like

[@LivinRVision]

Awesome! We’re so glad you guys had such a great time! 🧡😊🤓 Gotta have those Dole Whips! Yum!

[@kellieoverturf3244]

You would have had a better dinner at O'Hara and a view of the fireworks with the music piped into the restaurant. It was awesome to see Disney, we are missing it!!

[@layrathompson2869]

Great video- especially for older travelers that do not ride rides :) Free boat rides and sky trams are good enough!

[@BEASTmodeontheRoad]

Right, perfect for my heart condition

[@BEASTmodeontheRoad]

We are going commando!! You guys are hands down our favorite RV couple.

[@jolenecreech7648]

That was fun! Now we are thinking of staying in a Disney hotel (avoiding the park…been there, done that when it first opened). Now that we are retired, sans kids, we would like to try it again. Thank you, Brian and Michelle. Your way of doing Disney is exactly what we want. The luxury hotels, the atmosphere, the exercise, the food, the drinks, the shopping, the boat rides …. Sounds like 👍 a perfect vacation for us at this point in life. 💜❤️

[@AlmaGabriela]

Your videos are so relaxing and just put a smile on my face 🙂

[@Banagal]

That was such a beautiful second visit to Disney World Florida. Free works for me! I so enjoy both your humor. I think I’ll pull the skibbies color on my hubby. I’m already enjoying the possibilities of his reactions. LOL, I will enjoy the expression on his face too. I’m not much for crowds of people so will probably never go to DW in person. It was a great peek though. Until next Saturday…

[@lynnepollack7991]

In the parks you can get ice water from any restaurant with the cup. The stands don't have fountain water. We did nicely with them. It helps to reduce the amount of soda/sugar drinks.

[@LivinRVision]

Actually they did have water at the fountains, it’s just not marked well. It’s one of the small buttons over one of the soda pops. The other small button is soda water. 👍🏻

[@lisaborsi3092]

We have stayed at POP Century! It's been refurbished recently and is one of my favorites! The theming is so great!

[@MilesAcrossUSA]

Disney fireworks are incredible aren’t they? This was a great idea for a video. Great job!

[@cindysmith7600]

The last time we went sans tickets we "hopped around the monorail bars". We had a great afternoon, but the drinks do get a little pricey! That makes it easy not to overindulge if you know what I mean!

[@carolmcdaniel7693]

We love "resort hopping". Old Key West is our favorite resort to stay at!

[@patmcdaniel9612]

Nice to see someone else doing the resort hopping tour. Was always on our list of cheap things to do....lol Hopefully we'll see you at the Tampa show and be able to say hello !!!

[@ExtremeRVing]

Sooo much to cover, you're right, definitely need 2 or maybe even 3 days to get around that place - *whew* - but sure seems worth it. Loved these videos and taking us along for the ride, thank you!

[@cherylmellem5799]

Just returned from Orlando and a day at Epcot. Wish I had found you before I went I have subscribed and love your videos. Thanks for all the tips!

[@kevinsrvtipsandtrips4361]

Happy New Year and thanks for all the videos. Your two part video is an awesome idea to try and save a little money. What a great idea thanks for sharing 👍

[@TinkerForward]

I just discovered your channel and just wanted to say I loved your Disney World Free videos! I love the Disney parks, resorts and shopping! As a fellow KZbinr I really appreciated all the work you did filming, editing and adding the music sequences. I know that has to take a lot of time, great job! The way you captured your experience, it felt like I was right there with you! It makes me want to get back to the parks and resorts! I'll check out some of your other videos as well, I just subscribed! Keep up the great adventures!

[@LivinRVision]

Thank you and welcome to our channel! 🧡😊🤓

[@theglasgownomad6814]

Great follow up Brian. You guys just showed a side of "doing Disney" that most people would not consider. Can't wait to get back to the warmth of Florida. See ya soon.

[@blaster-zy7xx]

Local here. You guys did a great job of covering Disney outside the parks. For just two days you guys did great. One thing you guys didn't do was go to the Animal Kingdom lodge to see the giraffes and other animals. They have a really good place for lunch called SABA. Another good place to watch the fireworks is the beach at the Polynesian.

[@LivinRVision]

Thanks! We didn’t have near enough time to cover everything but have heard about the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Sounds like you may have missed part of our video where we started off at the Polynesian for fireworks and then went to the Magic Kingdom. The Contemporary 4th floor is also supposed to be a good place to watch the fireworks also. 👍🏻😊🤓

[@blaster-zy7xx]

@@LivinRVision Did you get a heads up somewhere how to navigate the buses, boats, monorails, resorts, walkaways, lounges, sky ride and restaurants? We found all that stuff by just poking around over many trips, but you guys covered so much in so little time! It took us several trips to cover what you guys did in just two days. One more item is the luau next to the Poly. Not sure if that is open yet or when it does, but that is a great place for a special birthday dinner. Lastly there is a "secret" favorite bar of the locals called Trader Sam's that is inside the Poly. If you come back, you still have some more to explore. I have not even been the old Key West yet. We still have many restaurant at Springs and the resorts to still try out. Great video!

[@LivinRVision]

Some friends came with us the first day and show d us how they did it and then day 2 & 3 we just winged it on our own. We needed one more day for sure. Thanks for the tips!

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

Just loved your free Disney exploring and fun

[@dtlrtube4635]

Great job. We've done this at Disney. AND also at Universal. Fun free stuff to see and do at CityWalk and Resorts there too.

[@JodysJourney]

I wasn’t too sure about this idea at the beginning of the part one video , but I ended up loving it. Definitely going to do this when I visit Florida. 😊👍🏻

[@ronaldsova2380]

Enjoyed part 2, It does seem a bit expensive there. But great ideas for something to do Well Enjoy the sun, and safe travels

[@nancymcshane3501]

If you go to the hotel at Animal Kingdom, there are Giraffes and other animals walking around.

[@annainaspen]

I go to Disney World a one or two times a year. Hanging out at Disney Springs and resort hoping is a great activity. Next time you are staying in Winter Garden go to their old downtown. They have great shops and an indoor food market.

[@miaforte8536]

We were in Orlando for New Year. Don't think I could go outside hotel or RV in Orlando without spending money. Would be a good challenge!

[@doratheexplorerbegins]

We loved your 2 part series! Great job you two!

[@richardthomas1743]

What an awesome video! Thumbs UP !! 👍

[@stacyrector8515]

Loved Pt. 2. We almost always stay at Pop Century, cause it’s a fun atmosphere and centrally located. Have stayed at a few others. My dream is to stay at the Polynesian. I love it there! Could you hear the music out in front of the park? I would think so. Thanks again. 💜

[@LivinRVision]

Do you mean the music during the fireworks? If so, yes we could. It ya lot of fun to report hop and take in the atmosphere. Glad you enjoyed the video. 🧡😊🤓

[@neilscott5907]

Was just there last weekend, and did the Orange garage...thanks for the tip......hope to see you in Tampa!

[@stuwardw]

Great information, we really enjoyed this series! Thank you!

[@michelebrown1341]

We are still in Orlando…looks like we need another free day in Disney again! Haha! Probably talking my guy into going back tomorrow!

[@lynnepollack7991]

It has been awhile since going to Disney. I think the Rainforest Cafe is still there. You can access it from outside or inside the park.

[@LivinRVision]

Yep it is still there. We had a drink there 2 years ago.

[@tanya334]

Awesome !! 💙 Unfortunately we pay $10.00 for the Puck name and $8.00 for the ribs 🤣🤣 Walt is rolling over in his grave 😫! He always wanted Disneyland to be affordable for all families! Not the case anymore 😪😪. Safe Travels guys 💙

Thanks bunches for sharing your adventure! 🖖🏻😘🙏🏻👍🏻

[@JSD3530]

I left there just a few days before you made this. I wish now I would have seen it prior to. I will make note of this for our next trip however. Besides, we have already done all the parks. Great video.

[@dawned-onme2601]

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing & thanks for doing Disney in a completely different way than everyone else. Happy New Year to both of you & be safe in your travels! I was wondering will you be staying in Florida for the winter? Hoping you both stay healthy wherever you travel.

[@LivinRVision]

For a while during the winter then we’re not sure exactly where next. Thanks. 🧡

[@rdegrand]

I'm here with my family now!!! Just arrived today (1/8. We are staying at Old Key West!!

[@LivinRVision]

How ironic that you just arrived today, enjoy!

[@billmea5593]

You missed the best monorail ride. In between the Contemporary and the Poly if you get off at the ticket and transportation center and take the Epcot monorail getting Birdseye view of the park and then a nice monorail ride back or a bus to another location.

[@LivinRVision]

I believe we did, we went right over the edge of Epcot and got a decent view. Is that the view you are referring to?

[@jackshea4470]

If you'd stayed on the beach at Poly you would've heard the soundtrack as well

[@rayettakirkley1663]

I was wondering, this will sound silly but where did you get your purse/ backpack, I love it. And as always love watching you guys!!!

[@LivinRVision]

Picked it up at a TJ Maxx over a year ago and have not seen it since, UNTIL we found it on Amazon…so we put up a direct link in our Amazon store, which you can find at LivinRVision.com and click the link at the top that says “Amazon Store”. The. I believe it is in our “Misc” folder in the store. They sell it in different colors.

[@tamarawilson7828]

Hello, can u share more info on the campgroundsat the beginning of this vid? U say winter gardens an encore property, I believe?? U mention a membership, which one?? Is this a discount program?

[@LivinRVision]

Hi Tamara! Absolutely! Winter Garden is an Encore property just like many of the others we have stayed at these past 3 years. It is part of the Trails Collection add-on to the Thousand Trails membership. It’s simply just a yearly fee for like $315/year to add on.

you are so right about the different experience you have depending on the viewing areas... Have seen may fireworks displaces but the most memorable was forth of July in the Texas Hill Country....Instead of sitting on the ground at the very crowded lake, we drove up a hill to view.... the fireworks exploded right in front of us instead of above us....was fantastic....

Animal Kingdom Lodge has animals that the kids would love to see and a lot of families that are not able to afford much would probably also enjoy most of what we seen. We’re sure it would feel like a treat to them…hopefully.

You can get taxis, that you can hire if you’re using a scooter. You do have to call the company and ask for them to send on, that can accommodate putting a scooter in the taxi.

[@joaneng2374]

How can you afford your 60.00 meals out??? It's not realistic for us.

We don’t eat that expensive very often. Ya gotta stick to what’s reasonable for you. We all do. 😊🤓

[@blaster-zy7xx]

We do this kind of thing but only as a splurge every once in a while. Remember that they are riding all the transportation for free, parking for free and touring all day for free. You will get hungry and Disney really does have places with good food. Compared to going into the parks, a day like this is a BARGAIN!
