A tip for Snack Credits

[DisneyDreamer08]

Hi everyone :wave: My husband and I were in the World last week and we are on the basic dining plan- one QS, one TS, and one snack/day.

We used our QS and TS for lunch and dinner. Since both come with a dessert, we never really needed a snack in the afternoon/evening. So we used our snack credit for breakfast. Down at the quick service dining in our hotel, we used snack credits to buy a small package of cereal with a small carton of milk (uses 1 credit total), a muffin, a cinnamon roll, a yogurt parfait with fruit, etc. We also filled our refillable mugs with either coffee or tea. So we really never had to use cash for any food on the trip. It worked out well for us so I thought I would share!!

Thanks for sharing! One of these days I'm going to have to book a package with dining plan.

We really enjoyed it. I'm not sure it really saved us money since we probably wouldn't have eaten at a table service restaurant everyday, but I'm still glad we got it. It was nice to have all our meals paid for ahead of time. That way we could just order what we felt like eating and not have to worry about how much it cost. We also tried a lot of new restaurants that we had never eaten at before. We liked it, I would defintely do it again.

You are either really lucky or I am really unlucky. I am always charged 2 snack credits for cereal/milk. I even asked this year b/c I read about people only having to use 1 credit for this and the CM told me that is wrong.

Hmm thats weird! We stayed at AKL and did this almost every morning at the Mara. The first morning, my husband just got a cereal and the CM actually told him and he could go and get a milk too if we wanted.


That stinks!
