food IS a theme park
Trips to Disney are EXPENSIVE! There’s no doubt about it.
Magic Kingdom
Add up all the costs for airfare, hotel rooms, and park tickets and we’d be surprised if you even had any money left over for food and souvenirs or add-ons like Genie+ or PhotoPass. Thinking about all that, we thought we’d bring you our list of the BEST free things in Disney World right now. (Bet you didn’t know there were any free things to do at Disney World!)
Ever wish you could recreate Disney dishes at home?

Can you imagine a world where Mickey Mouse isn’t a Disney character? We may or may not see this happen.
Hey, Mickey!
In all seriousness, Mickey has been the face of the Walt Disney Company for well over 90 years, since 1928, but come January 1st, 2024, Disney will be facing something that they’ve never faced before — Mickey Mouse will be entering the public domain. Before we go off into the deep end, let’s be clear, not all versions of Mickey will be going to the public domain. So, let’s break it all down.
Doesn’t it seem like something new is always popping up in Disney World?
Cinderella’s Castle
In order for all this change to happen, we sometimes have to say goodbye to some of our favorite attractions, shops, and even restaurants. Over the past couple of years in particular, though, there have been a few attractions that have had permanent closures. Let’s talk about it!

We love Early Theme Park Entry!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
It really is one of the best perks you can get for staying at a Disney-owned hotel during your Disneyland visit. As it is right now, if you’re staying at any Disneyland Resort hotel, you can enter the parks a full 30 minutes before their official opening time, which means getting on those popular rides before the rest of the crowds. But REMEMBER, that policy is changing pronto!
