20 Coolest Things To Do In Disney World

Drink (or Eat) Around the World

Disney World is home to Epcot and Epcot is home to the one and only World Showcase! One of the best things to do in Disney World is explore the World Showcase at Epcot and while you could quickly walk around the world, I highly recommend drinking (or eating) around the world instead!

Drinking around the world has become a fan favorite and you should definitely check out my Ultimate Guide to Drinking Around the World before you depart on your globe trotting adventure!

Drinking around the world in the Epcot World Showcase is by far one of my favorite activities in Disney World! While you can grab an alcohol drink in each country, you do not need to drink alcohol to make this super fun. Grab a bubble tea in China, a hot chocolate in Norway, or Berber Passion in Morocco.

If you do drink alcohol, my Ultimate Guide will point you to some of the best tasty beverages, but you can also just pick the coolest sounding drink from each country!

If you want to add one more item to your must do activities in Disney World – grab a drink in every Disney park too! While Magic Kingdom used to not sell alcohol, you can now find beer and alcohol in this park! Where? Check out my Guide on Where to Find Beer and Alcohol in Magic Kingdom!

If drinking is not your thing, you can switch it up and eat around the world! Every country in the World Showcase has at least one food “stall” making it super easy to get a to-go snack in each country. You can also check out one of the best Epcot Quick Service Restaurants found in the World Showcase. Grab an eggroll in China, a pastry in France, and some scrumptious queso in Mexico! Eating around the world is by far one of the coolest things to do in Disney World that is all ages friendly!

One of my favorite tips to track your trip around the world is to stop at Kidcot in each country after you grab your drink or snack! At Kidcot you will get a small bag to start and a card from each country! This is a great way to track your world traveling stops and its a fun free souvenir! If you are open to dropping about $13 USD – check out the World Showcase Passport which makes the list for my 26 Best Disney Souvenirs that Won’t Break the Bank.

Thinking about the Disney Dining Plan? Some of the Disney Dining Plans cover alcohol and all of them cover snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. If you plan to drink and/or eat around the world, be sure to take this into consideration when evaluating whether or not you should get the Disney Dining Plan! A well planned Disney Dining Plan purchase could save you a lot of money when drinking and eating around the world!

Trying to figure out if the Disney Dining Plan is worth it for your trip? It can be confusing so I have created this Easy and Free Disney Dining Plan Calculator to help you out!

Shoot Some Hoops at the NBA Experience

Disney World is not all about the parks! The NBA Experience is a new attraction located at Disney Springs and is fun for all ages. It does require a separate admission ticket purchase, but it is worth every penny and definitely one of the coolest things to do in Disney World! I am not the only person who thinks it’s one of the best things to do in Disney World so be sure to book your reservation in advance!

The NBA Experience gives everyone an opportunity to play around like a pro. It has 13 difference experiences – all of which have a little touch of Disney! You can dunk, dribble, shoot, run, draft, and play throughout the massive complex and even as a basketball nube, it was so fun!

Be sure to wear the right attire, you are playing a sport afterall, so sneakers and comfortable clothes should be part of your packing list for this attraction. Need a packing list for your Disney World trip? Here is the Only Disney Packing List You Will Ever Need!

After you enjoy the NBA Experience be sure to stop by the 15 Bet Disney Springs Stores You Shouldn’t Miss and stop by a meal at one of the Best Disney Springs Restaurants!

Even if you think basketball may not sound like a relaxing vacation activity, especially in Disney World, as you walk through the players tunnel to hear the crowd roar I can guarantee you will understand why this unique experience is one of the best things to do in Disney World!

Resort Hop on the Monorail (and Skyliner)

You do not need to stay at every Disney World hotel to experience all of the amazing Disney World hotels. You actually don’t even need to stay on property. One of the most fun activities to do at Disney World is go resort hopping! Take advantage of the free Disney World transportation and this activity can also be totally free!

Resort Hopping is one of my absolute favorite things to do in Disney World outside the parks and it is by far one of the Best Totally Free Things to do at Disney World!

Resort hopping just means going around to the various Disney World hotels and exploring! There are some areas for guests only, like the Disney Resort pools, but all of the hotels have areas accessible for all visitors. You can check out a bar or restaurant, find a free show or activity at the hotel, take a long stroll and explore the property, and experience the fun Disney World transportation – the monorail and the skyliner!

The monorail connects Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The Skyliner connects Disney’s Riviera Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and Disney’s Art of Animation. Resort hopping is not only one of the most fun activities in Disney World, it’s also a great way to scope out the hotels for future Disney trips!

While Resort Hopping on the Monorail and Skyliner, be sure to Check out my Comparison of All of the Disney Monorail Hotels and All of the Skyliner Hotels and vote on your favorites!

If you are open to a bit more transportation time, you can also jump on any of the Disney buses and check out the other Disney hotels too! One of our favorite activities in Disney World on our “out of park days” is to explore the hotel pool bars and grab a cocktail while we people watch and enjoy the Florida sunshine!

Visit Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto

There is no question that Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is one of the best bars in Disney World! It also earns a well deserved spot on my list of the 20 Coolest Things to Do in Disney World! While Trader Sam’s Tiki Bar is cool, it is really the Grog Grotto that is out of this world! Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is an indoor oasis full of delicious snacks and drinks, many of which come with a show!

Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto and Tiki Bar are located at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. While Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is open to all ages before 8 pm, it does become 21 and older starting at 8 pm every day so groups with minors should make this an earlier evening agenda item. The Grog Grotto also has a strict limit on capacity and there is absolutely no standing allowed, so you may be in for a wait. Arrive once they open and drop your name on the list for your best odds!

Things To Do In Disney World Hotel Entrance

The reason I love Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is that it is not just a drink you are ordering, but rather an experience! Be sure to order a drink in a specialty mug (which you do not need to buy unless you want to) in order to get a sweet show when its your turn to be served! Depending on your selection you may cause a volcano to erupt, a storm to come through, or cause a quick sun shower! It does not hurt that the atmosphere is top notch!

Explore Disney Springs

Disney Springs, formerly Downtown Disney, has come so far in the last ten years! Exploring Disney Springs is a full day, or multiple day, free activity in Disney World and it should not be missed. From restaurants to food carts you can find a million things to eat in Disney Springs and you can easily shop, or window shop, the day away!

Disney Springs is definitely one of the coolest things to do in Disney World because it’s not only free, but it has something for everyone. You can check out the best restaurants in Disney Springs or for the older crowd, the best bars in Disney Springs, any day of the week. It is also a great place to grab brunch and stroll around the shops!

Disney Springs also has activities like taking a car on the water (really…you can do that) or watching the drone show after an afternoon of live music! As Disney Springs expands, Disney has done a great job making it feel more Disney than mall and I can’t wait to see what more is in store for the future of Disney Springs!

One of the best ways to do Disney on a budget is to find free activities and be sure you don’t try to spend every day in the parks. Disney Springs is your answer! No admission ticket and still super entertaining! If you love Disney Springs, be sure to check out the best hotels to stay close by!

Visit the Animals at the Animal Kingdom Lodge

Not sure what is cooler than getting to visit a whole lot of animals and go on a walking safari for free so visiting the animals at Animal Kingdom Lodge is definitely on the top of the list for best things to do in Disney World! Jump on a bus over to the Animal Kingdom Lodget and you can explore not only the hotel, but also visit the animals!

Visiting the Animal Kingdom Lodge animals is one of the greatest free things to do in Disney World, but it seems like everyone just rushes into Animal Kingdom for a safari ride – don’t make this mistake! While exploring the Animal Kingdom Lodge and taking in the free zoo experience, feel free to ask the cast members about the animals and score some pics – most will be better than those you get on the safari attraction!

Ride the Mountains

When the mountains are calling, you must go! Disney World is home to four mountains – Splash, Space, Thunder, and Forbidden! When visiting the Disney World Resort a must do in Disney World is to ride all of the mountains! You can find three of the four mountains in Magic Kingdom, but you will need to hop over to Animal Kingdom to round out the list!

Things To Do In Disney World Space Mountain

While Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain, all found in Magic Kingdom, are pretty obvious from the names, you probably know Forbidden Mountain as Expedition Everest. Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain can be found in Animal Kingdom and it is by far the most thrilling of the mountains!

Things To Do In Disney World Thunder Mountain

Hiking mountains is cool and all, but Disney World stepped it up a notch so we can ride the mountains earns these attractions a spot on my 20 Coolest Things To Do In Disney World! Space, Thunder, and Forbidden also find themselves on my 9 Best (and Worst!) Disney Roller Coasters You Need to Try – can you guess where they fall?

On top of it, Splash Mountain is undergoing a long past due update and it will be better than ever soon! When you head over to Animal Kingdom to check off Forbidden Mountain, be sure to also check out the 14 Best Animal Kingdom Rides and Attractions! Splash Mountain will reopen as “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” in late 2024.

Things To Do In Disney World Forbidden Mountain

Experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

One of the coolest things to do in Disney World is experience Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios! This is also currently the only place in the world you can experience this attraction. Rise of the Resistance is not just a ride, it’s not just a show, it’s more of a magical experience that takes you to another galaxy!

Check out my guide to Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance for the inside scoop on what you can expect – don’t worry you can read the first half of the guide without any spoilers if you don’t want to know all of its secrets! Also this super cool thing to do in Disney World does not take Fastpass, so you will need to do a touch of planning.

While Disneyland will be getting its own Rise of the Resistance, for now, this is a Disney World only attraction! While Disney World has many rides and attractions, Rise of the Resistance deserves it’s own spot on the list of the 20 Coolest Things to do in Disney World! Jump into the virtual queue when you get to Hollywood Studios and once your boarding group is called, take off on a very special Star Wars adventure!

While you are waiting for your boarding group, be sure to check out the other Best Rides and Attractions in Hollywood Studios and take advantage of your Fastpasses, which you cannot use for Rise of the Resistance!

Rent a Boat

For another great adventure outside of the parks, a cool thing to do in Disney World is rent a boat! You can rent a motorized boat at any of the Disney World Marinas and kayaks and canoes at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Disney has plenty of options for you to pick from and prices are by the half hour.

To rent a motorized boat, check out one of the Disney Marinas:

For a cheaper, and slightly more active option, check out the kayaks and canoes at Fort Wilderness! You can also swing by the campfire for a s’more after your ride – one of the best free things to do in Disney World!

You can also jump on a motorized boat at the Seven Seas Lagoon, right outside of Magic Kingdom, from the Boat Nook Marina. What is more fun than some time on the water with a little Disney magic around you? This activity in Disney World will for sure make life long memories and it’s a great way to spend some time outside of the parks!

Splash Around at a Disney Water Park

Disney World is home to two super fun water parks – Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach! Visiting the Disney World water parks is a must do when in Disney World, especially in the hot summer months. Grab your beach towel, water sandals, and favorite swimsuit – all necessary Disney backpack items for the water parks – and take a dive into the magical world of water rides!

Visiting the Disney Water Parks requires an admission ticket which is not included in the standard park hopper ticket so be sure to upgrade your ticket package to the Park Hopper Plus if you want to check out one, or maybe both, of the Disney water parks! Check out my Ultimate Guide to the Disney Water Parks for all of the best tips for your water park experience!

Typhoon Lagoon is the older of the two water parks at Disney with the centerpiece shrimp boat “Miss Tilly” stranded on the top of Mount Mayday. Blizzard Beach is the newer Disney water park and is based around the time that a freak snowstorm arrived in Florida and the first ski resort was built. Both parks have undergone recent updates and are full of rides, wave pools, restauarnts, shops, and bars!

Keep in mind that the Disney water parks have free parking and they may close during the winter months! I love both Disney water parks so I don’t think you can make a wrong decision if you pick just one, but definitely check out at least one Disney water park as they are two of the coolest things to do in Disney World!

Experience Rope Drop

One of the coolest experiences when visiting Disney World is experiencing rope drop! Disney rope drop is the term for when cast members start allowing guests into various lands. Rope drop does not mean the time when guests are first allowed into the parks. Technically, the parks open in two phases – the first is when they start allowing people through the turnstiles. The other is when they start letting people line up for attractions.

Experiencing rope drop is not only a must do in Disney World, but it’s the best way to get the most out of your morning at Disney!

One of the best parts of rope drop is the atmosphere – there is so much excitement as the park opens for the day and you can feel it in the air! Participating in rope drop will mean you have to get up a bit earlier and I recommend grabbing your coffee on the way. Once you arrive, coffee or not, the adrenaline will kick in and you will be so ready to run to your favorite spots! It is a great way to hit up some of the best rides without a wait, or a wasted Fastpass.

If you do happen to get on a ride or attraction at rope drop which you had a later Fastpass for, be sure to use the best secret to hacking wait times and maximizing your Fastpass – the Tap and Grab Technique!

See the 9 Best Disney World Shows

Disney World is home to many shows and in true Disney fashion, they are all pretty great! Of course, some are better than others so be sure that during your visit you check out the best! When you are trying to figure out what to do in Disney World you might need to cut some shows, rides, or attractions depending on your length of stay – do not skip the 9 Best Shows at Disney World!

Ride the 3 Fastest Rides at Disney World

For the thrill seekers – a super fun thing to do in Disney World is ride the 3 Fastest Rides at Disney World! If speed and high drops are your thing, do not miss this cool activity in Disney World! Also the 3 Fastest Rides at Disney World might not be what you expect!

Check out the 3 Fastes Rides at Disney World:

1. Test Track – Epcot – 65 MPH

2. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster – Hollywood Studios – 60 MPH

3. Summit Plummet – Blizzard Beach – 60 MPH

Test Track can be found at Epcot and is one of the best rides to take advantage of the single rider line! You can swing by and jump on Test Track, hit a max speed of 65 MPH, and head on over to the World Showcase to celebrating your daring ride! It is also one of the Best Disney Thrill Rides and a great choice for an Epcot Fastpass if you want to stay with your group and design your own car, but not spend too much time waiting!

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster can be found at Hollywood Studios and while this ride might be known for its drop, it is also super fast! Feel free to use the single rider line for this one too and just like Test Track, it is a great pick for a Fastpass. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster also scores a spot on my list of the Best Disney Roller Coasters!

Things To Do In Disney World Rock n Roller Coaster

Summit Plummet is the only Disney water park ride that makes the top 3 fastest rides at Disney World and can be found at Blizzard Beach! There is no question that Summit Plummet is a thrill ride and only for the brave. Summit Plummet is an almost vertical drop and it is the tallest and fastest freefall body slide out there!

Every adrenaline junkie will think this one is awesome as you drop into a tube of darkness and get smashed by white water!

Things To Do In Disney World Summit Plummet

Trade Disney Pins

A super fun thing to do in Disney World that does not require you plummet down a water slide at 60 MPH or spend a good chunk of money is pin trading! Disney pin trading is one of the best souvenirs you can find that won’t break the bank. Pin trading is also something you can do every time you visit any Disney park!

Things To Do In Disney World Pin Trading

Disney pin trading has become not only an activity, or souvenir idea, but it is now a whole community! Be sure to check out my Insanely Useful Disney Pin Trading Tips before you go!

Disney pin trading is one of the most fun things to do in Disney World because you can do this every day and interact with so many cast members! If you plan ahead and purchase pins online, which are much cheaper than in the park, you can arrive with a stash to trade away.

Even if pins are not your favorite souvenir, you must participate in Disney pin trading at least once! You can find Disney pins at all of the stores and you can trade with any cast member who has pins so the options really are endless. Just be sure that if you see a pin you love, you trade for it when you see it because you might not find it again!

Things To Do In Disney World Pin Trading Board

Stroll Around the Disney Boardwalk

You might be super familiar with Disney Springs, but that is not the only great, out-of-park, area for shopping, drinking, and eating! Wandering the Disney Boardwalk is one of the coolest things to do in Disney World and you should not miss out! The Disney Boardwalk is located near Epcot and is home to several Disney hotels, shops, restaurants, and bars!

Exploring the Disney Boardwalk is totally free and full of so many fun stops for the whole family! I love running around the Disney Boardwalk during runDisney events and it’s even better when you can slow down and take it all in!

Disney’s Boardwalk has so much to offer that is requires its own Ultimate Guide!

You can access the Boardwalk by car, but parking is limited, or you can take one of the many Disney transportation options! Take in the views of Crescent Lake (it’s spectacular during sunset), do a little dancing at Atlantic Dance Hall, enjoy a stroll around the promenade, or just enjoy the sights and sounds of a traditional boardwalk.

Get a Disney Make Over

Disney World is one place where no matter your age, you can dress up! For that reason, one of the best things to do in Disney World is to get a Disney make over – no matter your age!

If you are like me, you love the matching shirts and creative Disneybound outfits! Don’t stop there though! Guests of all ages can get a Disney make over in Disney World! What is more magical and fun than running around the parks in a fun costume!? Also, since Disney does restrict costumes for adults, this is a great work around.

Does your young guest want to dress up like a princess? Or maybe a knight? Stop by the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Magic Kingdom for a magical and royal transformation! Reservations required (and they go fast) and it can get costly, so I recommend budgeting for this fun activity in advance! Be sure to check out the details before you go to avoid a surprising hurdle or bill!

How about dressing up like Captain Jack Sparrow? Any mermaids out there? You can get a pirate, empress, or mermaid make over at Pirates League in Magic Kingdom too! This make over spot is near Pirates of the Caribbean in Adventureland. Like the BBB, reservations are required and they go quickly! It also can get costly so prepare in advance and be sure you understand the costs before you pick your package.

You can also drop by the Harmony Barbershop on Main Street in Magic Kingdom for a cut and, if you’re lucky, a show by the Dapper Dans!

Enjoy a Fancy Sit Down Meal

One of the coolest things to do in Disney World is to slow down and enjoy a fancy sit down meal! If you decide to go with the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan this will be a super easy item to check off the list. If you are on another dining plan, or no plan at all, you can still enjoy a fancy sit down meal!

A great way to check out at least one of the Best Disney World Restaurants, like Teppan Edo or Be Our Guest! I am all about the Disney snacks and quick meals during the park days, because of course I want to ride everything and run around. But after long days and a lot of walking, it’s important to slow down, take a seat, and let a chef make you a delicious meal!

There are so many places you can get a fancy sit down meal since every Disney park, resort, and promenade have at least a few great restaurants to offer! Just be sure to book this one dining activity in advance because the fancy, and really scrumptious, Disney World restaurants do fill up quickly! This is also a great activity you can do in Disney World to check out some character dining!

Check Out the 4 Most Classic Rides

Checking out the 4 Most Classic Rides is a super cool thing to do in Disney World! I realize that everyone might have a different opinion the most classic rides, but after a lot of analysis and complex thought (or just excitement and fun) here are my 4 Most Classic Rides!

Magic Kingdom – It’s a Small World

Animal Kingdom – Kilimanjaro Safari

Epcot – Spaceship Earth

Hollywood Studios – Tower of Terror

Even though the It’s a Small World at Magic Kingdom is not the original (that is located in Disneyland), this is the ride that started it all! Head back to Fantasyland and setp back in time to the World’s Fair and enjoy this calming boat ride around the world. This is truly a ride that cannot be missed and it’s family friendly.

It’s a Small World is hands down the most classic ride in Magic Kingdom because who knows where we would be this ride never existed!

Things To Do In Disney World Its a Small World

When Animal Kingdom opened the main attraction was the Kilimanjaro Safari. I remember getting there at rope drop, before Fastpasses existed, and waited for hours in line just to get on the safari before the animals all took naps! Now you can get a Fastpass for this one and it’s definitely the most classic ride in Animal Kingdom!

Epcot’s iconic centerpiece is the “giant ball” which is actually Spaceship Earth! As you head into the park you must jump on the moving platform and head into the flagship attraction for Epcot. It’s a family friendly ride, a great way to kick off a day at Epcot, and you get a super cute video emailed to you at the end!

Things To Do In Disney World Epcot Spaceship Earth

Hollywood Studios has been undergoing massive upgrades over the last year. While that has made space for Toy Storyland and Galaxy’s Edge, it does mean that a lot of the old classics are no more. Thankfully, Tower of Terror is still around and the most classic ride left in this park.

It almost makes you feel like you are back in MGM (the old name for Hollywood Studios) and I think it is a must do in Disney World! This is also the last remaining Tower of Terror in the USA since the west coast version was transformed into Guardians of the Galaxy.

Things To Do In Disney World Tower of Terror

Take a Disney Tour

One of the coolest things in Disney World that no one talks too much about are the Disney Tours! While this might not be something to do on your first visit, or if you have a really short trip, the Disney Tours are really great. You can book a Disney Tour in advance and they do require an additional ticket so be sure to plan this one ahead of time!

Things To Do In Disney World Tours with Ears

Disney World has a lot of tour options! Right now, Disney World is offering the following tours:

The Disney Tours vary in time, location, cost, and involved activities so I recommend checking out a few options before you make your decision! Adding a Disney Tour to your trip is an excellent way to add a magical and unique activity to your agenda!

Since all Disney Tours are guided expect to pay for the tour and tip your guide! Some of the Disney Tours are a really good way to experience more of the park, or see a bit more, even when the parks are really crowded.

A bit more adventurous? While not exactly a “Disney Tour” according to Disney World, you can also scuba dive in Epcot with Epcot’s DiveQuest!

Attend an After Hours Special Event

My final Coolest Thing to do in Disney World is actually one of my very favorite – attend an after hours special event! Very Merry Christmas, Not So Scary Halloween, and Villains After Hours all make my list for some of the best things to do in Disney World! These events are held in the parks after hours and require a separate ticket, but they are always so worth it!

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is hosted in Magic Kingdom in the evenings around the holiday season. Wear your Santa hat, grab some free hot coco and cookies, and hit up all the rides without lines and in the dark! This after hours special event also only exists in Disney World so it is definitely a must do in Disney World!

Things To Do In Disney World Christmas Party

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is also hosted in Magic Kingdom, and also only exists in Disney World! Put on your Halloween costume and head into Magic Kingdom to go trick or treating and, of course, ride all the rides at night with no wait! Be sure to check out my Ultimate Guide to the Not So Scary Halloween Party before you go! Unfortunately due to COVID, you will need to wait until 2021 to check this one out.

Things To Do In Disney World Halloween Party

The newest addition to the after hours special events is the Disney Villains After Hours Event! Like Disney World’s other after hours events, Villains After Hours occurs in Magic Kingdom. You can score super short wait times, watch unique villain themed shows, and meet lots of Disney Villains at this event! Disneyland also hosts a Disney Villains event, last year in California Adventure, but they do differ from coast to coast.

Interested in an after hours event? Buy your tickets early because these events always sell out!

I think these are 20 of the Coolest Things to do In Disney World, but there are plenty more awesome rides, activities, and attractions! What are your favorite things to do in Disney World?
