Thrifty Thursday: Style Swag

Almost no one ever ever ever looks good at Disney.

Pull on some jean shorts. A Mickey tee-shirt. Some very comfy shoes. And don’t forget the heat-defying ponytail. And don’t even think about anything more than a light moisturizer unless you want your face to melt off before lunch. 

But it is still possible to give your look some extra Disney piazza … totally FREE of charge! Here are just a few places and ways you can plus your Disney look on the cheap:

Leis at the Polynesian Resort: Just walk right into the lobby and take one of these super fun, super bright fashion accessories and suddenly you’re on island time. Aloha! 

Jelly Bracelets at Innoventions: Have you visited Habit Heroes lately? After running around like mad during the super fun interactive games, you are officially welcomed as an Habit Hero agent and given a bracelet. Wear it with pride, recruit. 

Celebrate Today at any Park or Concierge Desk: I’ve written about this before, but the greatest free accessory you can get at Disney World is an “I’m Celebrating” pin. Not only is it free swag, it also might help you get free dessert or a seating upgrade.

    The only free swag I’ve received was the “I’m Celebrating” pin (for my 57th b-day) at Caribbean Beach Resort in May of ’14. Everywhere I went at Epcot many Cast Members said “Happy Birthday” to me. That memory alone is worth any kind of upgrade at a hotel! I didn’t know about the Habit Heroes bracelets until I read this article. Do i need a Fast Pass + to participate? I wouldn’t mind getting free lapel pins. I guess I’ll have to bring and wear some of them to trade w/CMs to get the freebies, right?

    Another freebie is the opportunity to sample the various flavors of Coke sodas they sell in countries across the globe in the store where that sampling is held. Not every kind of swag has to be a material object, it can also be an experience worth remembering like that ” Happy Birthday” greeting I mentioned above.
