Disney Boardwalk Villa's Homemade Ice Cream Recipe For Kids

We have much enjoyed our stay at the Disney Boardwalk Resort in our 2 Bedroom Lockoff, but today is moving day. We're moving into a Deluxe 3 bedroom villa and I am so excited. I don't enjoy packing up and moving, but I think the work is going to be worth it.

Before packing, we headed down to the activities center to make your own ice cream. We assumed it was similar to Wyndham's Bonnet Creek's $2 ice cream floats or sundaes at 3:00 everyday, where you pay and tell them what you want. So we ordered two ice creams and they handed us two bags of sugar to take to the sundae table. I figured that's how they knew if you were to get vanilla or chocolate. To my surprise, the kids handed over their bags of sugar, and the girl opened the bag and pumped vanilla extract into it. They were actually making their own homemade ice cream from a recipe. 
It was so cool, they gave me the recipe to post.
Here they added 1/2 and 1/2.
 Then kneaded the bags to mix the ingredients.
 Then they shook the mixed bag inside of a bag filled with ice and salt.
 And presto, out came ice cream. They had a selection of toppings to add when it was compete.
Here's the Complete Homemade Ice Cream  Recipe:
1 pint size ziploc bag (to combine the following ingredients  in)
1 cup half and half
1/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons of vanilla
For chocolate, add 1 packet of hot cocoa mix in place of the vanilla
Close ziplock and make sure it is completely sealed
1 plastic shopping bag filled about 1/3 - 1/2 the way with ice
1 cup of salt- add to ice in plastic shopping bag (add more if needed)
Place ziploc bag with combined ingredients inside the plastic shopping bag with ice salt mix
and shake vigorously for 5-10 minutes until ice cream is firm.

So fun, easy, and tasty!
