Free "Adult" activities at WDW

[CrystalS]

My hubby is wondering what things he might enjoy at any of the WDW parks that are included in the ticket price (other than the rides), like shows and stuff.

He's on the fence about going, but wants to be sure there will be enough for him to enjoy while we're there.
We would be staying at Pop and have 4 days at the parks.
So anything at the parks/hotel that don't cost an extra fee?

(he's not a big disney character fan like me, lol)
Thanks!

Each of the WDW theme parks offers a number of top quality live attractions that have very high production value and are included in your theme park admission. You don't have to be a Disney/character lover to enjoy any of them - in fact, some of them have little to do with Disney except being staged there.

Here's a link to the complete list of artists/shows and some of my favorite non-ride attractions at WDW:

What are his interests? Many of the "rides" aren't thrill/rollercoaster/kid stuff, but have a wider appeal and very pedestrian ride vehicles or theatre seating. You might consider one of the tours worthwhile, even though they cost extra, because there's a lot of details that are interesting about the design and architecture that aren't obvious at first look or even after many visits, particularly at Epcot.

I think he'd enjoy the lights, motor, action and the indianna jones shows for sure.
He's just a typical man, lol.
He does like some rides, but I think he is envisioning 4 full days of just "Disney stuff" and rides

The parks have a wide range of live music, shows, and entertainment. For example, here's the list of events for today at Epcot.

World Showcase is always buzzing with street shows and music. I always enjoy "Off Kilter" in Canada, a crowd favorite. Grab an Orange Slushy in France and just enjoy the countries.

I know this thread hasn't been touched in a few weeks, but I just had to pipe in and say the Finding Nemo Musical is astounding - I just adored it! It's really broadway quality, and even written by two tony award winners so I totally recommend that for anyone!

I will add that my first few times to Disney I spent very little time in Epcot but now that I'm 46 it is the gem of the park. I love walking around at night and grabbing a drink in whatever country you are in and checking out the entertainment. It truly is an awesome experience.
