When is a Snack not a Snack?

[real mad hatter]

Roll up,roll up.Here at the Big Top Treats you can get a DDP snack credit that will keep you and your little ones happy.But when is a snack not a snack? Example.Six chocolate covered strawberries in a box for $ 22.99.even three of these babies will set you back almost $12.00.

Chocolate covered strawberries are still snacks, regardless of price. I wouldn't personally pay for it, but someone will! A snack isn't a snack when it's soup or a sandwich, both of which are considered snacks by my fiance.

I am sure it is subjective but a cookie (normal 3-4" dia) would be a snack as would a reasonable sized rice crispy treat. I am not sure where the line gets drawn but if you are eating a pastry the size of a softball...yeah, not a snack. Even if it counts as a "snack" on the DDP trust that little voice in the back of your head that is saying "you're really going to eat that huh?".

I suppose that the definition of snack, much like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Size and cost are factors. A ¼ LB burger, large fries and a coke are a snack to my son but a meal to most. Whereas champagne and caviar can also be considered a snack.

Well a cinnamon roll is a snack and its way bigger than 3-4", but I do struggle to Finnish it off especially after my Casey slaw dog & fries.

Your right.I remember when I was a teenager and went to a dance one night,I saw this larger than life girl standing at the bar,but she was beautiful.I thought to myself,if I ask her out,how much food is she going to eat,no way is that a snack credit girl.So size and cost are a big factor.

its funny that this is a topic, as my wife and I were just researching this yesterday for our trip at the end of the month. We have messed this up in the past, and want to get it right this time. What we found was anything (almost anything) under $5 qualified for a snack. There are many sites out there that list per food establishment what qualifies as a snack with the DDP

Good News.In July we noticed little purple square signs which read DDPS,letting you know it was indeed a snack.You'll spot them everywhere.

8am-9am Breakfast

12-1pm Lunch

7pm-8pm Dinner

Anything in between these times are SNACKS, ranging from a cookie to a roast beef sandwich with fries, = SNACKS.

That's how it works! It's now 10:11pm so I'm off for a grilled cheese! = SNACK

It's that simple!

A fresh cookie ice cream sandwich is a "Snack" at the Main Street Bakery but not at Fountainview in EPCOT. :-(
