4. Sweet sprinkles in WDW gift shops

If you’re searching for a cute souvenir that doesn’t cost a fortune, you don’t have a lot of options on property. These Minnie’s Bake Shop Sprinkles, however, may just do the trick. Each jar contains rainbow sprinkles in both the traditional shape and colorful Mickey heads.

If you like to bake or know someone who does, this is a fun way to bring a little touch of Disney magic home with you to enjoy throughout the year. This jar of sprinkles costs just $4.95. The jars pictured here were found at the resort gift shop in the Polynesian Village, but this is a popular treat that will turn up in many different locations.

5. Antennae toppers in WDW gift shops

Antennae toppers are another easy choice for shoppers who want a souvenir that doesn’t cost a fortune. You can buy two toppers for just $8, making them $4 each. The options go far beyond the classic Mickey head topper. You’ll find toppers for nearly every character, from Oswald to Goofy. Try a bright pink cupcake with sparkling sprinkles to give your car a sweet touch, or opt for a glittering Cinderella slipper to appease your inner princess. Orange Bird makes an appearance, Planes characters are on hand, and the holiday options are seemingly endless.

Keep in mind that these fun foam toppers aren’t meant to last a lifetime. They fade quickly in the sun and may eventually fall apart. This is particularly true of designs with delicate parts like the Goofy ears. Therefore, if you have a particular favorite that you want on your car for years to come, stocking up on two of the same beloved topper isn’t a bad idea.

6. Stamp collecting around World Showcase

Each country in World Showcase at Epcot has a special table set up where you can collect ink stamps from that country. Kids can pick up and color a cutout of Duffy the Disney Bear or Perry the Platypus, then collect stamps and drawings from each country on the stick as well as the back of the drawing. In addition to the stamps, you’ll discover fun extras in some countries. In China, Japan, and Morocco, you can see what your name looks like written in a different language. Other countries will draw a picture of their flag or an iconic monument, like the Eiffel Tower in Paris (complete with Mickey on top for this illustration).

This activity is completely free and the resulting character cutout is something you’ll surely want to hold on to. This is a brilliant choice because it adds an element of fun to World Showcase where children may otherwise get bored with the dining and shopping.

While Disney will present many opportunities to spend money, you don’t have to drop a fortune on every activity you do. Try these cheap options to add something special to your vacation for just $5!
