Luckily, there are still a select amount of things that are still absolutely FREE in Disney World. And if you know about these things and use them strategically, you CAN end up saving a few valuable bucks.

Grand Floridian Christmas Tree
From Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort to Disney Springs, it’s DEFINITELY beginning to look a lot like Christmas around Disney World. And today, we stopped by Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to check out the stunning holiday decorations around the Resort!
It may only be November, but we are already stocking up on ALL the holiday merchandise and holiday snacks.

Kidani Village Lobby in Animal Kingdom Lodge
This week we headed to Walt Disney World’s wildest resort to see what’s new and what’s happening. We decided to visit Kidani Village, the DVC resort area, to check out the pool and take in the savanna view!
We recently made the rounds to several Disney World Resort hotels to see what’s new!
