Ice Cream Social?

[ehmo3]

I'm planning a June trip and trying to get info on where to make ps's since my 90 days in quickly approaching. My DH and I will be there with our 3 DDs (oldest is 4). We won't be going to a park everyday so we're trying to plan for our off days. So far we're hoping for a late breakfast at Chef Mickey and crossing our fingers for CRT (on a park day). I've seen the Ice Cream Social mentioned and don't know much about it? Can anyone give me more info and maybe a few suggestions for non-park day activities? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

The Ice Cream Social is at the Garden Grill in Epcot, so that wouldn't work for a non-park day. I just called for PS's for May and was told that the available times were 2:50, 3:00, and 3:10. Mickey and friends are scheduled to be there. It is $6.99/person. Beaches and Cream is supposed to have terrific ice cream, though, and they aren't in a park. The resorts have character meals that you could look into.

We are thinking of wandering around the Boardwalk area on a non-park day, and there are a couple of stores that my kids want to visit in Downtown Disney. We are also going to Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. Then there is that hanging out at the pool and around the resort time.

I'd be interested, too, in any more detailed ideas for non-park days.

The Ice Cream Social is at the Garden Grill restaurant in Epcot. I think there are two different times 3 and 3:30. We did this in January and it was great. I think it was $7 a person. Our DD was 2, so she didn't have to pay, and they still brought her a small bowl of ice cream. Great character interaction. It was a nice break from our day.

As far as non park activities: spend some time at the Boardwalk, Do an Illuminations Cruise, visit Downtown Disney, Parasailing, Watermice, Surrey Bikes, miniature golf, resort hopping to check them out, pony rides, or just spend a day relaxing by your pool.
