I laughed so hard at this, that people walking down the street stopped to look in my window at me. :lol: That's why all my shorts are stretchy. I needed that laugh, thanks!

Sorry to disappoint everyone, but....

I don't know if this has been posted already but I have read on another website that the snack portion of the dining plan has now been expanded to include anything under $4. When I say anything I mean that you can now get a Dole Whip, Pastry from the Main Street Bakery, etc. This makes the dining plan a whole lot better and creates alot more choices.

Currently this is NOT true. The official list of snack choices has not changed for the 2006 Disney Dining Plan. As always, I will be happy to post if and when any changes to the plan are officially announced.

Currently, the Disney Dining Plan Snacks entitlements include a choice of one (1) of the following:

• Frozen ice-cream novelty
• Single serving box of popcorn
• Single piece of fruit
• Single service Grab Bag of Frito-Lay's Brand Chips
• Apple Juice
• 20 ounce bottle of Coke, Diet Coke or Sprite
• 24 ounce bottle of Dasani Water
• Medium sized fountain soft drink
• 1/2 pint of milk (where available)

Hope this helps! :sohappy:

Gee, I bet this is the only time so many of us are really hoping so hard that JPVonDrake will have to come back with a correction:lol:

Thanks, JP!

Please let him be misinformed...PLEASE let him be misinformed...

Actually, I have read on another website from people that have recently gone to Disney World in the past couple of weeks that it is true. Also, mousesavers.com also confirms this as well.

There has been no word yet on if the Food and Wine Festival offerings will again be available to redeem as snack items. I will be happy to post once an answer has been officially released.

My previous post was verified with official DRC Cast Sources for accuracy before it was posted. Officially, there has been no recent change to the 2006 Disney Dinning Plan announced at the Disney Reservation Center.

Hope this helps! :sohappy:

Glad i wasn't the only one giggling like a loon at the thought of eatin' pants! :lol:

Granted, I was laughing at my own joke... by myself... in my office... :lookaroun

And as for the fact that this is simply a rumour... *sigh* Bummer.

 

[DisneyBunny]

I am happy to report, that "official" or not, I had a Dole Whip Float TODAY that was counted as a snack on the dining plan. I've also had a few slushes, smoothies, and a cheese filled pretzel that was included in the plan.

So let there be rejoicing throuout WDWMagic :sohappy:

I'm working on uploading the pic I took of the menu.

 

[DisneyBunny]

Not a very good picture, but you can clearly see the DDP logo next to the Dole Whip and the Float. I was a very happy bunny today. :slurp:

Not to sound mean but I keep saying it, people who have recently been to Disney have said that this is true. Why don't you believe me?

 

[wannabeBelle]

People say a lot of stuff ms. It doesnt always mean that it is true or right. I could on a tangent about the 5th gate, or the monorail expansion or a million other items that all are strictly rumour. JP is kind enough to give us the absolute official word on these items. There could have been changes made that have not been updated and visa versa ( in a company as big as Disney it is bound to happen!) I appreciate all of JP's hard work to keep us as informed as he does.
Hey JP thanks for the F & W thing, Ill look for your posting on that one hopefully soon!!!! Belle

This isn't something as far fetched as the fifth gate. Seriously, who would want to make up a false rumor about the dining plan? Plus, there are now pictures which prove that it is true. I don't see the point of denying the inevitable just because there has been no "official confirmation." Did Disney just put the dining plan logo on the Dole Whip sign just for looks? It is common sense to realize that the snack portion of the dining plan has expanded.

Just to clearify...

The list I posted is a direct copy/paste from Cast Portal, and was verified with the list in DRC's information database (lovingly known as Folios.)

Officially these are the only items included as snacks, however, each restaurant/snack location is free to add additional items at their own discretion. Look for the DDP logo for additional snack items on the posted menu for additional options. I am not stating the above information is wrong, just not official. Please note in my post that I do state, "currently" as all Disney offerings are subject to change without notice.

Also, please note, many here consider me as an official source, I am a DRC Cast, but do this on my own. I just like you guys and gals :wave:. As such, I always verify my answers from official informational sources that has been cleared for release to Guests. As I value my career at Disney, I can not and will not post any pending, rumored, or proprietary information. I do sincerely hope everyone understands.

Hope this helps! :sohappy:

On my visit last week I tried to get a DOLE Whip as a snack and the counter CM told me that You could not use that as a snack on the Dinning plan. :dazzle:

and there ya go!!! It is possible that this is completely true and that locations and items have been added in. THAT I am not disputing. I am just saying that as of the time of the posting the official information had not been changed. As far as rumours, people talk about some pretty odd stuff so I cant say what would & would not be bandied about. Belle

Disney Bunny--your signature says you are currently at WDW--please keep us informed if you find any other new goodies with the DDP logo on the sign!! I am going in 13 days, and cannot believe how much out-of-pocket $$ we will save if all this is true! The original list of snacks was pretty mundane, and we always have to pay extra for some of our favorites. Your picture of the Aloha Isle sign with the DDP logo made my day--Thanks!!!:sohappy:

Hopefully this is just a very new development and official word hasn't made it all the way through the proper Disney channels...

Your comments have always been on the money. While there may be some hope for the future with additions to the snacks on the plan, I know that you have helped many of us with "just the facts". :wave: Thanks!!!
