disney dining and the food and wine festival?

[FanofDinsey1981]

My sister, 3 cousins and I are planning to use the Disney dining plan on our trip from Nov 7-12th. My big question is...

Can you use snack credits at the food and wine festival?

If not, we will work around it, but we would like to know before going. we are planners!

somewhat off topic however

hey everyone ... i will be down in WDW for 10 days in mid-october for the food and wine festival. as of right now i am going solo. i have a question about the Not So Scary parties...

what is there to do THAT MAKES THE EXTRA COST worthwhile? i actually have a Capt. Jack Sparrow costume (i know how original right) that i am planning on taking with me... but realistically am i going to find it enjoyable and worth the money to spend the additional 50 or 60 dollars, BTW i am a Annual Passholder.

thanks...:wave:

Nice hijack. :animwink:

Back on subject. I believe you can use your snack credits, but I also would be interested in info from someone who has actually done this.

F&w

I went in Novmber, and even though I did not have the dining plan I did see the little symbols next to food on teh menu.

Yes. Your snack credits will work on just about everything accept alcohol. When I went even some of the expensive items ($7) were good with the snack credit.

For the past few years, the snack credits were allowed to be used towards the food items during the F & W fest. It has not been announced one way or the other for this year. Belle

Thanks for the info. :wave:

Believe snack credits count for almost food-related under $4. I've never used the DDP, but that's what I've always heard.

Most things at Epcot's FWF are $4 or less (maybe 5 food items are more), although alcoholic drinks are usually more expensive.

Good point - thanks!

awesome, good to know! I am not a 'snack' kind of person (though I do know you can use them on water and pop too) and i would love to use the snack credits at the festival. I will check again closer when the event is actually going on to make sure we can use them then.

Thanks everyone!

We have been at the F&W festival for the past two years and purposely saved up our snack credits to use there. There were signs last year beside to snack options to designate if snack credits could be used. It has been well worth it to me not getting a Mickey's premium bar for the day or paying for a bottle of water just to use the credits.

And with 5 or 6 of us sharing samples and the festival, I may not even need all 5 snack credits, so I could still get my strawberry bar!

very cool, I am very excited now! too bad it is still 6 months away.

That's what I was always told, too.
