The cost to visit Walt Disney World has never been higher, but even though guests are spending more on tickets, hotel rooms, food, and more, this holiday season there are at least a few freebies that the resort is offering guests. From free food to magnets and more, here are all the free things coming this holiday season to Walt Disney World.
1. Annual Passholders and DVC Members get free beignets with purchase at Port Orleans Resort

Last year Disney announced the Disney’s Animal Kingdom Tasting Sampler, which was a special limited-time promotion that allowed guests to try food and beverages around the park, while also reserving a seat for Rivers of Light as well and even get some free money back. And now Disney is bringing back this promotion for 2019, and with even MORE free money.
This year’s promotion costs $50 and includes two digital value cards: one $50 card that can be used at over 40 outdoor food and beverage locations throughout the park, and a bonus $10 card that can be used at quick-service restaurants in the park after 4pm.Though this package is more expensive than last year’s deal (which was $35), the free money has doubled (last year’s “bonus” card was only $5).
In addition to the free money for dining, guests who book this deal will receive two reserved seats for the second showing of Rivers of Light: We are One, which must be redeemed between December 22, 2019 and January 4, 2020.
Like last year, this experience will only be available during the holiday season from December 22, 2019 through January 4, 2020
Guests can book the Disney’s Animal Kingdom Tasting Sampler experience online here.
