3. And make sure you take advantage of some of the free sights and activities at Disney World including:
a. The Magic Kingdom fireworks and the Electrical Water Pageant.
b. Tours of the Wilderness Lodge and Animal Kingdom Lodge, and the Garden Tour at the Yacht & Beach Club Resort.
c. Hike the nature trails at Fort Wilderness and visit the petting farm.
d. Take a boat ride from Dixie Landings to Downtown Disney.
e. Enjoy the campfire, singing and movie that is free to Disney World resort guests at Fort Wilderness.
