Whether you're a cast member, a frequent visitor or annual pass holder to Disney, it might get a little tiring just riding your favorite ride every other trip. If you're looking for some new activities to do, here are some fun, free activities that will fill your days in the Walt Disney World resort!
1. A Pirate's Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas (Magic Kingdom).
In this free interactive game, you can sign up to become one of Captain Jack Sparrow's recruits and fight off his enemies all around Adventureland in a series of tasks. There are five different missions to go on, and at the end of each mission you get a card. When you collect all 5, you get a special surprise from Captain Jack Sparrow! This interactive adventure is great for all ages!
2. Wilderness Explorers (Animal Kingdom).
Because of how many different badges you can earn, the Wilderness Explorers guide can be done within a few trips, which makes this a great activity to do if you go to the parks a lot! The Wilderness Explorers is an interactive activity inspired by the movie "Up" where you can find and earn badges while learning about animals, insects, dinosaurs and the environment! When you've collected every badge, you can bring your book to the front of the park for your Senior Wilderness Explorer's badge.
3. Tour a Disney World Resort.
Disney offers amazing tours, but for a high price. What a lot of people don't know is Disney offers some free tours daily! The most popular ones are "Behind the Scenes Culinary Tours at Jiko and Boma", which includes a free sample from Jiko and Boma, and "Boardwalk Ballyhoo", where you can learn about the architecture and artifacts around the Boardwalk Resort. Hope you're an early bird, though, because both of these tours start before noon!
4. Look for Hidden Mickeys!
Looking for Hidden Mickeys around the Walt Disney Resort is my favorite pasttime, whether it's just waiting for a fastpass or reservation, or just because I feel like it. It's also a great way to pass time while in line and something fun to look out for while you ride a ride or see a show you've seen or ridden multiple times! There are books you can buy that will let you know where the hidden Mickeys are, or you can wing it and look for them yourself!
5. Ride the monorail loop around the Magic Kingdom resorts
One of my favorite things to do on property is go around the monorail and see the three Magic Kingdom resorts - Polynesian Village, Grand Floridian and Contemporary Resort! If you're 21 and over, you can even get off on each stop and bar hop (for an extra cost, of course) at the resorts, too! ;)
There are so many things to do at Disney World that it's impossible to run out of things to do! The struggle of wanting to only ride Haunted Mansion is a struggle, though. Now go try new things & have fun!
