free disney souvenirs

There are so many fun and free Disney World souvenirs you can pick up during your Disney vacation. I remember before I moved next door to Disney I would take my yearly vacations and the thought of having the leave at the end of my trip was heartbreaking. I would find joy in anything I could save to take back with me. In fact I still have some Mickey Confetti I found on the ground tucked away in my jewelry box. Of course I had purchased many souvenirs in the shops but its the ones that didn’t cost anything that I most cherished. This was especially true when it was given by a cast member and we got to engage a bit in some conversation with them.
