I know precisely what you're thinking... "FREE?! In Orlando?! Yeah right!" Well in actuality there are lots of free attractions in Orlando. Now undeniably they aren't usually as brilliant as some of the more recognised attractions in Orlando, however if you're on a limited spending budget and you need a "day filler" be sure to check a few of these out.
Downtown Disney
You don't require a Disney World ticket to experience Disney retail stores and entertainment. Walk the streets of Downtown Disney Marketplace for an array of boutiques and eating spots for every single budget. Be sure you see their Festival of the Masters (November), an arts-and-crafts event where youngsters can make their very own chalk masterpieces. Observe glassblowers at Arribas Brothers; go and visit the 4,400-square-foot (409-square-meter) LEGO Imagination Center to take part in a "beat-the-clock" building contest, or perhaps see a 12-foot (3.6-meter) T. Rex and 30-foot (9-meter) sea serpent, both made of numerous LEGO bricks.
Celebration
Stroll the streets of the picture-perfect town of Celebration. The community, created by Disney, is a mix of historic-themed architecture and modern technology. Marvel at the old-fashioned homes and let the younger children play in the interactive fountain. Head to the farmers market on Sunday mornings and discover the many free events (author readings and signings) offered by Reading Trout Books. Travelers will even notice (fake) snow falling in the winter.
Disney's Boardwalk
Enjoy a relaxed walk along Disney's Boardwalk, a re-creation of a 1930s-style Atlantic coastal town. The 45-acre (18-hectare) waterfront area is well-known for its very own nightclubs and amusement hot spots, even so everyone can enjoy the various street musicians, magicians, or performers at no cost.
TNA IMPACT Wrestling
The well known TV wrestling show is occasionally taped at the Universal Studios Resort. I've gone to several tapings and it's definitely a lot of fun to see. TNA now features such names as Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, and Hulk Hogan. And best of all, it's absolutely free!
Disney Fireworks
Although you aren't in the park, it doesn't mean you can't check out the Magic Kingdom fireworks. There are a few great viewing sites at and around the Magic Kingdom Resort Hotels. A number of my favorites are The Polynesian hotel beach area, Bay Lake Tower, as well as Grand Floridian Resort. A majority of these spots tend to play the shows soundtrack so you can have the full effect.
The Legend of Spook Hill
Every day, a lot of tourists who come to Orlando travel to Lake Wales, Florida, to see if the old Indian Legend of Spook Hill is true. A sign marks the spot where it is possible to stop your vehicle, leave it in neutral, and watch as the car mysteriously rolls uphill.
Old Town
Just south of the Orlando International Airport is Old Town, a unique amusement park and shopping region. Over 700 motorcyclists rally through the streets on Thursday night times. On Saturday nights Old Town comes to life with a vintage-car parade with as many as 3 hundred motors. Even though the area offers live entertainment every single night starting at 7:30 p.m., their Saturday night time show (7 p.m.) will play primarily '50s and '60s rock 'n' roll. Guests will need to obtain tickets for the amusement park, however entry to Old Town, and their concert events and car shows, is totally free.
