What’s Free at Disney Springs?

A magical Disney experience doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.  

Disney Springs is a popular outdoor entertainment complex with plenty of shops, restaurants, and attractions to fill a full day with memorable experiences. 

While there is plenty to purchase at Disney Springs, there are also a variety of ways to keep the entire family entertained for free.  

Let’s take a closer look at what’s free at Disney Springs. 

The Disney Springs Experience 

While many Disney destinations are associated with admission prices, Disney Springs is one spot you can visit absolutely free.  

 Even parking is free – and that’s a real bargain in and of itself! 

Experience the nuanced magic of Disney sprinkled throughout Disney Springs.  You’ll find touches of it in the decor, on menus at select restaurants, and throughout its many storefronts and boutiques (which are perfect for free window shopping if you can resist the temptation to splurge).

Need a ride? Guests of Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista can take advantage of complimentary daily shuttles to Disney Springs, saving you money on ride shares if you’re traveling without a car. 

Catch a Free Concert 

The AdventHealth Waterside Stage is a picturesque open-air performance venue at Disney Springs that hosts special events and live performances every day and night. 

You’ll find bands and singer-songwriters performing every night, creating a unique outdoor concert vibe in the middle of the Disney Springs action.  

There is plenty of first-come, first-served seating for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a show. You can find the stage across from World of Disney, the world’s largest collection of Disney merchandise.  

Beat the Heat in the Splash Pad 

Tucked behind Earl of Sandwich is a large, open splash pad with playful jets and fountains. 

While it doesn’t have elaborate equipment or structures, the cool splashing water offers a welcome reprieve from hot Florida temperatures, especially in the summer.  

Bring a change of clothes, water shoes (it can get a bit slippery), and a towel for little ones so you don’t have to worry about walking around in soggy clothes for the rest of the day.  

Remember to bring your sunscreen! 

Build Your Own Adventure  

A visit to the LEGO Store is a signature experience at Disney Springs.  

Admire incredible larger-than-life sculptures made entirely of LEGOs before trying your hand at building something special yourself. 

The store has designated building sections that encourage you to assemble your own LEGO creation. It’s a great activity for LEGO enthusiasts and anyone looking for a little free, interactive fun at Disney Springs.    

Find Inspiration along the Disney Springs Art Walk 

The Disney Springs Art Walk is a breathtaking outdoor gallery display of spectacular murals painted by talented artists from around the world.  

This colorful installation is a representation of the culture, individual style, and voice of each artist, telling unique stories and sharing them with the public.  

You can find these beautiful, Insta-worthy pieces throughout Town Center, near Planet Hollywood. 

Get Your Groove on with Disney Springs Kids Club  

Every Saturday at Waterview Park in The Landing at Disney Springs, you can find interactive entertainment the whole family can enjoy.  

When you catch a Kids Club show, you may see the vibrant Afropop band Wassalou Drum Circle, energetic game host DJ Katie “KD Queen” Beck, or the jaw-dropping Flight Crew showing off their dazzling jump rope routines and acrobatics.  

Saturday performance times are 10:30 a.m., 11:15 a.m., and noon.  

Show off your Moves at the New Springs in Motion Presented by Florida Blue 

Burn off some energy while having fun at the brand-new Springs in Motion experience presented by Florida Blue.  

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m., you’ll find a DJ spinning fun and familiar tunes at Exposition Park across from Super Hero Headquarters.  

Learn new dance moves at this interactive musical experience as you dance to your heart’s content.  

Don’t Forget your Button! 

Life is full of celebrations.  

Whether you’re celebrating a momentous occasion or recognizing a smaller accomplishment, be sure to stop by Guest Services and pick up a free celebratory button.  

There are several button designs to share your cause for celebration, including Happy Birthday, Happily Ever After, 1st Visit, and I’m Celebrating, which has a blank space where you can write in your special occasion.  

Wear your button throughout Disney Springs and you may just find cast members sprinkling a little extra magic into your day.
