More Disney World For $10 or Less
Five more cheap tips to do Disney on a budget.
Further proof that you don't need a theme park ticket to enjoy a bit of Disney magic, I offer five more ways to enjoy yourself for less than $10.
6] Stroll Pleasure Island at Night. It costs nothing to enter Pleasure Island and most nights, there is even a dj offering free entertainment outdoors. It only costs if you want a drink or want to enter any of the nightclubs. At midnight, enjoy a free fireworks show, every night.
7] Eat at Earl Of Sandwich. It may not look like much, but at this Downtown Disney eatery, you can enjoy a custom-made sandwich on fresh-baked artesian bread, a cup of creamy tomato soup with homemade croutons and a glass of lemonade and earl grey tea blended together for less than $10. You can't eat this well for this cheap anywhere else at WDW.
8] Enjoy a Ghirardelli Chocolate. Normally these squares of fine chocolate would set you back about 50 cents, but if you find the girl in the Ghirardelli store with the basket, you'll find she's handing out samples of their chocolate squares for free. I usually visit here after Earl of Sandwich, so the chocolate serves as dessert.
9] Take in Live Irish Music at Raglan Road. For the price of a pint of Guinness - or your beverage of choice - you can enjoy live music nightly at the new Irish-themed pub/restaurant at Downtown Disney called Raglan Road. Most nights it's just one man and his keyboard, but after a pint or two, you'll be singing along.
10] Buy a Handmade Confection at Goofy's Candy Co. This new sugar-haven at the Downtown Disney Marketplace offers guests the chance to have a treat made to their specifications, while they wait. Choose your base from apples to marshmallows to pretzel sticks, and then pile on the toppings. All items cost between $2.25 and $5.50 and include all the toppings. I love the Mickey-shaped rice krispie treats, covered in milk chocolate, white chocolate, caramel, sprinkles and butterfinger crumbs. It costs $3 and lasts me about 2 days.
