Freebies at Disney World
Water – This is the #1 tip/hack that I give to people at Disney World. Water is free! You can ask for cups of ice water at quick service locations.

It doesn’t matter what you are celebrating. Like an anniversary, wedding, engagement, birthday, graduation, or just a vacation.…
