I realize just what you're thinking... "FREE?! In Orlando?! Yeah right!" But as a matter of fact there are many free attractions in Orlando. Of course obviously they aren't going to be as spectacular as the more common attractions in Florida, but if in case you're on a limited spending budget and you want a "day filler" make sure to check these out.
Downtown Disney
You don't have to have a Disney World ticket to enjoy Disney World shops and entertainment. Walk the streets of Downtown Disney Marketplace for several boutiques and eating locations for every budget. Make sure to check out their Festival of the Masters (November), an arts-and-crafts event where young ones can make their 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, and also see a 12-foot (3.6-meter) T. Rex and 30-foot (9-meter) sea serpent, both constructed of a huge number of LEGO bricks.
Old Town
Just south of the Orlando International Airport is Old Town, a unique entertainment park and shopping area. Over seven-hundred motorcyclists rally throughout the streets on Thursday nighttime. On Saturday evenings Old Town comes to life with a vintage-car parade with as much as 300 vehicles. Whilst the area presents live entertainment each night starting at 7:30 p.m., the Saturday evening show (7 p.m.) plays purely '50s and '60s rock 'n' roll. Guests must buy tickets for the amusement rides, nonetheless entry to Old Town, together with the concerts and car shows, is absolutely free of cost.
TNA IMPACT Wrestling
The well known TV wrestling show is oftentimes taped at the Universal Studios Resort. I've attended a few 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 100% free!
Disney Fireworks
Simply because you aren't in the park, it doesn't mean you can't check out the Magic Kingdom fireworks. There are lots of fabulous viewing areas at and around the Magic Kingdom Resort Hotels. Some of my favorites are The Polynesian hotel beach area, Bay Lake Tower, as well as the Grand Floridian Resort. Some of these locations tend to play the shows soundtrack to ensure that you can enjoy the full effect.
The Legend of Spook Hill
Every single year, a large number of tourists who visit Orlando head to Lake Wales, Florida, to see if the old Indian Legend of Spook Hill is true. A sign marks the position where you should stop the car, put it in neutral, and watch as your automobile mysteriously rolls uphill.
Disney's Boardwalk
Take a relaxing walk along Disney's Boardwalk, a re-creation of a 1930s-style Atlantic coastal community. The 45-acre (18-hectare) waterfront district is popular for its nightclubs and amusement hot spots, but yet the entire group will delight in the many street musicians, magicians, or performers at no cost.
Celebration
Wander the streets of the picture-perfect community of Celebration. The area, created by Disney, is a mix of historic-themed residences and modern technology. Admire the antique shops and let the kids play in the interactive fountain. Take a look around the farmers market on Sunday mornings or simply check out the many free events (author readings and signings) available from Reading Trout Books. Travellers could possibly see (fake) snow falling in the winter time.
