Any Tips For Freebies Etc???

[LINCLAIRE]

Just wondering if anyone had any tips or secrets about freebies etc at WDW/US or Seaworld?
I know about the free drinks at The Snowdome??? in Epcot.
I was wondering about best places to view parades, where to be to maybe get the kids picked for the dolphin show?
My 2 boys opened Pochahontas last year.
My sister wants to know where to get the best all-american hamburger/hotdog!!
I'm a bit confused about these refillable drinks.
Do you get free/cheap refills with the souvenier mugs?
We always use money-off vouchers at restaurants, but I have never seen any for anywhere on Disney property, I take it these don't exist?
Basically any tips would be useful.
Hope you can help

You could have free Bud (& choice of other beers/alcoholic lemon drink) at Seaworld (up to two per guest over 21) and also at Busch Gardens.

Hi Lin,
I'm going to pop your thread on UK Trip Planning, but first - with the refillable mugs, yes, you get unlimited free refills from the drinks dispensers in your resort food court - sodas, coffee, tea for the length of your stay.

When you are out there, check out the booklets and leaflets you find in the entrance of (non-Disney) restaurants, as you can get a few dollars off discount vouchers for restaurants and non-Disney parks in those - non-Disney.

The Tourist Office in I Drive will also have some vouchers too.

Parade viewing - in MK for day and night - try outside Country Bear Jamboree and Diamond Horseshoe Saloon for good spots and if you watch Spectromagic at night-time in that area, just walk up a little way to the stocks in Liberty Square for a great view of the fireworks - you'll also see Tinkerbelle light up the Castle and fly off to your right.

Darn it, trust me to really dislike beer, the men in my group will be very happy though!!!!!

Thanks Shirley,
Do you mean that the free drinks are for guests staying in a Disney hotel?
We are staying off site

Hi Lin - sorry, I didn't know you were off-site. Yes, this is a feature in the Walt Disney World Resorts.

For the Sea World beer...... and you don't get lots (!!) it's in one of those dispensable plastic containers ... go to the Anheuser-Busch Hospitality Center which is clearly shown on your Sea World Guidemap (the guidemaps are essential to park touring, be sure to pick them up from all parks just inside the entrances).

Thank you-

Free beer in Sea world - If I remember correctly whilst DH got his free Bud I got alcoholic lemonade. Can't remember the name but it was very nice.

You can buy large refill mugs at the Disney water parks again I can't remember the price - it must be my age!!!!!!!!!! but I'm sure someone will.
We bought these on our last visit & saved loads. We did buy just one & shared & its unlimited soda all day.

Also if you revisit the water parks instead of buying a new mug you can buy a bar-code to stick on your mug which is cheaper.
