Ice cream social... is it worth it?

This is an inexpensive way to meet the characters one-on-one. Definately worth the (very low) price tag, and much better "bang for the buck" than the more expensive character meals. Great fun!

Another YES for the social. We were there mid-Feb this year. Social was a great way to meet characters without all the time, fuss & cost of a character meal. Our 4 & 2 yr olds have a hard time sitting thru an entire meal to begin with. The sundaes are obviously pre-made (but yummy) and we got ours right away. I've noticed that a lot of character meals are buffet-style which is a real pain w/2 small kids- my DH would have to sit w/the kids & the camera at the table while I juggled their plates at the buffet & then I'd come back & he'd go up etc etc. This seemed to be much much more relaxing that the usual character meal chaos. At the time we went, the social was daily at 3 PM at the Garden Grille in the Land Pavillion at Epcot. They told us res. were required 24 hrs. in advance- we actually just walked right up & asked if they had any no shows or cancellations & they were able to seat us within 5 minutes. We will definitely do this again!!

We are going on our next trip. I had no problems getting reservations and I just made them for the end of March! Only they can't sit 6 to a table but will try and seat us near each other. I think for the price it is a steal! We always eat ice cream anyway! So why not have it with the characters!?!?!? I can't wait!

We did the Ice Cream Social and loved it. If your having a special day let them know. They gave my daughter a cerficate signed by the characters because it was her b.day. The characters do come around a few times we saw chip dale mickey pluto no minne.....still was fun. The cone is on a Nestles choc. chip cookie the kind they make at the Kids Kitchen at the same spot that the Garden Grill is at. I think it was worth it.

Do they do the 're-hitching' ceremony then too, or only during meals? We have never seen one of these, only read about them. Has anyone seen one?

My hubby and I went to the ice cream social with our daughter last May 2003 and we got "rehitched" there! It was really fun and our then 4.5 year old got a big kick out of it! You can request the rehitching ceremony when you make a PS. It was a blast! My hubby didn't know I had planned it! : )

My husband and I are going and I'm thinking of booking this and surprising him with the Rehitching Ceremony! Sounds like it's a lot of fun. I showed him the website on it and he said it sounded "hokey!" I think he'll enjoy it!

Now, to just figure out which day of our trip to go!

How long does it last?
