If you are looking for a few free things to do while you are at Disney World here are a few of my favorites:

Monorail

Take a ride on the Resort Monorail from the TTC (Ticket and Transportation Center) or the Magic Kingdom, and make your way around as it makes stops at the Polynesian Resort, The Grand Floridian Resort, The Magic Kingdom, and the Contemporary Resort. This is a great way to visit these beautiful Deluxe Resorts and to get an overview of the Magic Kingdom as well.

Boat Rides

Catch a boat ride from the Magic Kingdom over to the Wilderness Lodge Resort and enjoy the beauty of the Seven Seas Lagoon, and upon arrival you can enjoy the beauty of this majestic resort. Be sure to catch a glimpse of the Geyser.
From the Boardwalk area you can cruise the loop around Crescent Lake, which visits Epcot, Boardwalk, Yacht/Beach Club, Swan/Dolphin, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Cruise from Port Orleans Resort to Downtown Disney and back, along the Sassagoula River.

Resort Hopping

From any of the theme parks catch a bus over to some of the Resorts like the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Fort Wilderness Campground, Port Orleans Resort, etc. and see what each resort has to offer.
Fireworks from the Beach

Head over to the beaches of the Grand Floridian Resort or the Polynesian Resort and catch the “Wishes” fireworks show each night from across the lagoon. The music is piped down to the beaches for guests to enjoy.

Electrical Water Pageant

Every night the Electrical Water Pageant can be seen floating around Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake. The parade consists of lighted shapes and characters on floating barges that travel to the area resorts. This parade was the inspiration for the Main Street Electrical Parade. You can catch the show from the beaches of the Polynesian, the Grand Floridian, and the Contemporary Resorts.

One night, after eating at Hoop Dee Doo, we were able to watch the Electrical Water Pageant from the boat dock. As we were nearing Magic Kingdom to catch the bus to our hotel, the fireworks started going off. We were able to watch the fireworks from the boat and still beat a large part of the crowd to the buses. It was so nice to be able to sit and feel the cool air and still see the fireworks. Timing is everything!
