Show Notes

Things to Do Outside the Parks at Walt Disney World (including free activities and rainy day activities)

There's no question that the four main theme parks at Walt Disney World are the big draw, but many visitors may not know that there are a ton of super fun activities that you can do outside of the Disney theme parks to really enhance your Walt Disney World vacation.

In Episode 45 of the Disney Travel Podcast, we share over 25 of the most fun activities that you can (and should) try as part of your Walt Disney World vacation.

43 Square Miles of Space Allows for a Lot More Disney Fun

Walt Disney wanted an almost endless amount of land at Walt Disney World because he quickly became constrained by the limited space at Disneyland. With over 43 square miles of land in Florida, there's a good reason why there's so much more to do than simply visit theme parks at Walt Disney World.

In this episode we discuss the following Walt Disney World activities:

• water parks
