All you have to do is ask for one. They are perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, commemorating a first visit, or honeymoon. Really any reason will do. Be sure to grab one when you next visit. Just having the button will also get you noticed by other cast members throughout the days you visit. Guaranteeing your celebration won’t go unnoticed.

So keep an eye out for cast members looking to interact, sometimes there is more than just a Mickey sticker involved!

Disney Character Autographs | Select Disney Restaurants

Snatching the autograph of your favorite Disney Princess or Disney Character at any Disney Park is absolutely FREE. And you can have them sign most anything. We’ve seen people collect autographs on homemade autograph books, jean jackets, Mickey hats, and childhood storybooks. If you have a favorite character be sure to grab a pic or an autograph during your visit. Many restaurants like Trattoria al Forno offers an already signed souvenir card as part of your character dining experience. So does Chef Mickeys and Crystal Palace. These autographed cards make an excellent addition to your scrapbook, or to add to your child’s Disney decor.

These cards come in different series like Mars, Jupiter, Earth; and all the planets.

Flower Leis | The Polynesian Resort ‘Ohana Restaurant 

‘Ohana is one of the best restaurants at Disney World, and is always worth the trouble of getting that hard-to-get-dining-reservation. Because nothing says vacation like ukulele music and Hawaiian leis. And if you’re here for breakfast, you’ll even get to see Lilo and Stitch! At Ohana you’ll receive a FREE lei just for being there! Kids participating in the activities at both breakfast and dinner also get leis for participating. And most of the time grown-ups just enjoying the meal will also be given a lei too. Frankly they’re everywhere! While we didn’t get leis at Tambu Lounge… chances are if we asked, we may have more to bring home! 

Festival Passports | EPCOT

Epcot has four festivals a year. Apart from being included in the price of your park ticket, these festivals also come with little passport books. Mind you they’re specific to the festivals and feature the food and drink menus but you also get stickers to mark your travels around the World Showcase. Festival of the Arts, Flower and Garden, Food and Wine, and Festival of Holidays all have passports to collect. All FREE. Plus you can also get other freebies at festivals! We most recently got a freebie postcard at the Festival of the Arts just for helping out with the mural wall. 

Toiletries | Select Disney Resorts

Another perk for staying onsite at a Disney Resort is that you get access to high-end toiletries. Now, it is true that shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are now built into the tubs at the resorts. But, you can still grab the FREE soap, aloe vera gel, and lotion that is usually still out on the vanity. Or use it during your trip! The travel toiletries you see here are still available mostly at Disney Deluxe Resorts, as they go through the last of the stock, from the recent h20 partnership. 

Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater Restaurant Drivers License | Hollywood Studios

Are you up for old classic sci-film reels and dining in an old fashioned drive in, “outside.” If so, then you can head to Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater Restaurant at Hollywood Studios. Here, kids can get a FREE Drivers’ License. Since you eat inside an open vintage car, a drivers license is a great Free Disney Souvenir to commemorate the experience. The waiters regularly give these out as part of the magic, but be sure to ask if they don’t! We love this restaurant for burgers, fries, shakes, and old-timey drive-in movies and cartoons.

Walt Disney World Railroad Train Conductor Card | Magic Kingdom

Pre-pandemic this Disney Freebie could be obtained by just asking the train conductor if your child could be an honorary conductor and be the one to say ” All Aboard!” As a result, they would get a Disney Conductor Card! Such an honor and so much fun! For your best chance visit the Walt Disney World Railroad in Magic Kingdom during less busy times like weekdays and meal times with typically fewer crowds. 

Tomorrowland Speedway Drivers License | Magic Kingdom

If you’re bringing the kids, you can head to Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland Speedway for some underage driving and get a license while you’re at it! Just be sure to ask a Tomorrowland Speedway Cast Member on your next visit or visit the Tomorrowland Photo Booth to print one on your own! 

Mardi Gras Beads | Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter

If you’re heading to Sassagoula’s Floatworks and Food Factory at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort, for some beignets, then be sure to stop by the lobby and ask the doorman for some beads! These cast members are by far some of the most fun and hand-out beads at the ready! It’s a great way to commemorate your time at the resort and have beads on hand for your next Mardi Gras party at home! 

Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll and Button

If you’re heading to Disney Springs for the holidays then be sure to grab a Disney Springs Christmas Tree Stroll map! This map comes with stickers to track your progress. And this map also includes coupons for Disney Springs retailers. Plus, once you complete the stroll, you can turn in your map to collect a prize. Usually, the prize is a button, but you can also sometimes get coupons for things you were planning to buy anyway! 

Birthday Treats | Select Restaurants

If you’re celebrating your birthday at Walt Disney World then be sure to grab your Birthday Celebration Button from guest services. This button will not only get you free Birthday wishes from cast members but also surprise treats. Things like cupcakes, sweet treats, and even rice Krispie treats could be yours! While these treats are intermittently offered, wearing your birthday button is a surefire way to get something special.

The Timon and Pumba wild About Saftey Coloring Book is currently offered, but Animal Kingdom Lodge and Wilderness Lodge have scavenger hunts as well that can be requested. In fact, we always recommend just asking at the desk if there are any freebies for the kids. 

Disney Rubber Ducks | Typhoon Lagoon

If you want a little souvenir on your next trip to the water parks, keep an eye out for little Rubber Ducks. Available mainly during the holiday season, you can sometimes get lucky and find a cast member handing out freebies at the water parks. 

Scavenger Hunt Games | Select Resorts

Available at the resorts, you can grab scavenger hunts sometimes for the resort, but also for the parks!
