If you buy a multi-day ticket to the Walt Disney World theme parks and stay for a week or less, you'll probably find that you can't begin to explore all the entertainment options that are INCLUDED in the park passes, between the rides, parades, fireworks, and a zillion other attractions.

However, the time may come when you'll want to get out of the Disney theme parks and do something different, like riding the wild slides at Disney's water parks, taking a backstage tour, spending an evening at Cirque du Soleil's dazzling show La Nouba, getting a relaxing massage at one of the Disney spas, playing a round of golf on one of Disney's award-winning courses, or enjoying any of the dozens of other fun activities.

Naturally, Disney has plenty of ways to separate you from your money if you want to enjoy these extras. There are some discounts, deals and bargains available for almost every activity you can name, however, and I've gathered them in one place here!

Unless otherwise noted, discounts for Disney World Annual, Premium Annual and Seasonal Passholders listed below expire 5/31/12, though based on past years, most will probably be extended beyond that date.

Tickets That Include Water Park Admission

(Note that this private site also sells Walt Disney World Magic Your Way tickets, but once you add the taxes and fees, Undercover Tourist has better prices on those.)

Cirque du Soleil La Nouba

La Nouba is a spectacular show with amazing feats of acrobatic prowess, beautiful lighting and costumes. While it's expensive, most people (myself included) think it's well worth the price. You can order tickets online through Ticketmaster, or by phone at (407) WDW-SEAT (939-7328). Shows are at 6:00 and 9:00 pm. There are no performances on Sundays or Mondays.

Regular Prices and Info

• Premium (Front & Center) Seating is $136.32 for adults (age 10 and up), $108.63 for children (ages 3-9), tax included. These seats are in section 103, which is, as advertised, "front and center." Readers have reported that these seats are not worth the extra money.

• Category 1 seats are $120.35 for adults (ages 10 and up), $94.79 for children (ages 3-9), tax included. These seats are in section 102, 104, and portions of 203-205. Reportedly these seats provide a very good view but you may be looking up because a lot of the action takes place overhead.

I have been told by many readers (and I can personally confirm) that these are great seats and they are the BEST VALUE, especially if you can get sections 203, 204 or 205, ideally in Row EE, FF or GG.

• Category 3 seats are $77.75 for adults (ages 10 and up), $61.77 for children (ages 3-9), tax included. These seats are located in 201, 202, 206 and 207. You can see fine but you are quite off-center relative to the stage.

• Category 4 seats (available ONLY in person at the Cirque Box Office) are $56.45 for adults (ages 10 and up), $45.80 for children (ages 3-9), tax included. These seats are located on the extreme edges of sections 201, 206 and 207. You can see okay but you are extremely off-center relative to the stage.

Harmony Barber Shop on Main Street

Located on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom, the old-fashioned Harmony Barber Shop offers a relatively low-cost and definitely fun experience. Haircuts are $19 for adults, $15 for kids 12 and under, $18 for "baby's first haircut."

The barber shop also offers a fun service of decorating kids' hair for a nominal charge. MouseSavers.com reader Kimberly F explains, "I saw all these little kids running around with various colors of hair paint and confetti in their hair. I learned this costs $5 at the barber shop... They will put some hair spray and confetti in a child's hair (they call it Pixie Dust) for FREE! We did this for my daughter while my son got a hair cut. She loved it! It does not last a long time, particularly if you are riding any fast rides, but it made her feel very special."

The barber shop is open 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, seven days a week. You can walk up and wait your turn, though waits can take awhile at times. However, the barber shop now takes appointments up to 180 days in advance at (407) WDW-PLAY (939-7529) or (407) WDW-DINE (939-3463). (If the agent is having a hard time finding it in the system, it is listed under Children's Activities.) You must provide a credit card number when booking. If you miss the appointment without cancelling at least 24 hours in advance, there is a $10 fee. Thanks to Nancy V for additional information.
