34 free things to do in Disneyland

Cassidy Hopkins

At Disneyland, free items abound. In fact I would say that free and Disneyland go hand in hand (or Mickey Glove in Mickey Glove). There are numerous free experiences and items available at the Disneyland Resort if you know where to look.

This list covers the noteworthy free items scattered throughout the Disneyland Resort beyond the obvious shows and attractions which are all included with the price of admission into the theme parks.

The list is a helpful companion to the popular 18 Disneyland Money-Saving Hacks article and our guide to Disneyland. Enjoy the list and be sure to leave a comment with any other free things at Disneyland you enjoy.

Disneyland Planning DVD

Before you even leave for you Disneyland trip, you can receive something for free. Disney offers a free planning video that provides a helpful overview of the theme parks, hotels, and Downtown Disney shopping district. This video is extremely helpful in planning your trip, or just nice to watch while you are away from the parks.

Order your FREE copy of the Disneyland planning DVD by clicking here.

Autographed Character Photo

This is another item you can receive before you ever set foot inside of Disneyland. Disney will send you an autographed character photo if you send a letter to the address below requesting a nice character note.

Free Cups Of Water From Any Counter Service Restaurant

Rather than purchasing bottles of water, you can request free cups of ice water from any of the various Disneyland counter service restaurants. Be sure to ask for a LARGE cup of water so that they don’t give you the dinky small sized ones.
