Disney dining... help

[Bugnant3]

So we’re headed to Disney next month ( first time). We have the Disney dining, 1 sit down meal, 1 quick service and 2 snacks.
We’re scheduled for all of our dinners. I’m trying to figure out what we can do for breakfast with the snacks? I know we can also use quick service for breakfast and lunch as well. TIA

When we last stayed at WL, we used a combo of snack credits and QS credits to provide breakfast for 4 -- two bounty platters (2 QS credits) and 2 pastries (2 snack credits). By splitting the eggs and the potatoes, there was plenty for 4 to eat.

We like to use a QS at Wolfgang Puck's Express. The breakfast there is really great. We would make it a brunch and then use a snack credit during the day.

I don't know where the OP is staying but yeah, Wolfgang Puck Express is a phenomenal use of a snack credit.

@larryz 's idea of sharing QS credits isn't a bad idea as well.

Generally speaking a QS credit goes further if you use it for lunch versus breakfast, unless you're planning such an early sit down dinner that you don't need a lunch (or planning such a big sit down lunch that you don't need a dinner). To that end you might want to take @larryz 's idea and apply it to lunch as well. Some QS lunches are so huge, splitting them is as much of a necessity for your belly's well being as it is a way to stretch your dining dollar.

But if everyone in the party is planning on eating his or her own breakfast AND lunch, you might want to use those QS credits for lunch instead.

As far as where to get breakfast, where are you staying and what parks are you going to?

We pack a box of our favorite cereal and Pop Tarts. Grab a milk at the resort store and put it in the frig (can use a snack credit if you have the DP). We do this for two purposes. To save money but most importantly to save time. We can sleep just a little longer knowing we don't have to walk down to the main building and get breakfast.

Depending when you go snack credits can be used for food at the food and wine festival at Epcot

I would often use the snack credit for a pecan Danish or cinnamon pastry and then refill the mug with coffee. One person goes to the food court while the other showers etc.

If you are MK the cinnamon rolls at Gaston's Tavern are HUGE and are considered a snack. My wife and I often split one for breakfast.
