WDW planning question

[wdwdave09]

Hello all!

I may have an opportunity to attend a conference in Orlando the first week of June and wanted to get some ideas about how to spend my "free" time at WDW. The conference, at the OCCC, generally runs until 5 - 6pm each day so I wouldn't be able to get to WDW property until 5:30 or 6 pm at earliest. I don't think its worth buying a park-hopping ticket for only a few hours (at most) touring at the parks....

What suggetions do people have to help me satisfy my Disney-urge. One thought I had was to visit the various resorts and perhaps sample their restaruants. I'll definitely do DD but can only do that so many times. How late are the water parks open in June?

Suggestions for treats to try? Where can I get a Dole Whip w/o having to enter the MK?

All responses are appreciated. As FYI, I'd be there from Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon.

Thanks in advance,
Dave

We always resort hop...

Stand on the beach at the Polynesian and watch Wishes

Stroll the Boardwalk and head towards the Internaional Gateway to watch Illuminations

Pleasure Island & Downtown Disney

Any meal at a Disney Resort

The mini golf courses are fun for a "Disney fix" without having to buy a park ticket.

The only thing u can do is resort hop. A while back i heard disney had an epcot after 4 annual pass.I dont think it two expensive will certainly cost alot less than a park hoper and u can eat at epcot also. You can also play miniture golf at the miniture golf course they have i forgot what it is called but i know it was there when i went in september. Have fun. Disney is fun even if u are just in the area.

Wow--that's going to be frustrating!

No new ideas--resorts, Boardwalk, restaurants, golf, and Downtown Disney are the best I can offer.

You can't go to Disney and not take in the 3 night shows - Wishes, Illuminations and Fantasmic - they're a MUST DO !
