Disney Dining Plan Question!?

[JohnnyDollaz89]

Okay i have a question about the snack for the DP. I have the DP where they give you 1 snack, 1 sit down and 1 quick service a day. And i see on the site snacks are qualified as ice cream bar, water, soda, pop corn, fruit, is that all we are limited to as our snack or is there other items? Or do i need to be on like the highest level DP to get the best snacks?

A snack is a snack regardless of which plan you are on. The only thing that changes is the quantity you get per night. As for what is a snack? Well others can answer that better than me because there are some things that you would not consider a snack but you can still purchase them with a single snack credit.

Snacks are tricky. You can get what you said, but if you look closely at places, you can get really good things. For instance, at yak n yeti, a snack is two spring rolls, or chicken fried rice, and at main street confectionary, you can get awesome muffins! Just look around, and you will find things you never thought you could get.

There is a website you can check out that has a list of many of the snack options available at all the parks. They even have a little booklet you can print out and take with you. Here's the link.......www.themouseforless.com/tripplanning/PocketGuides. Sorry if I didn't do it correctly, but if you go to the mouseforless.com you will find the pocket guide. It's really useful if you aren't sure of snack options.
Have fun!

That link didn't work for me. Try http://www.themouseforless.com/tripplanning/discounts/snacks.shtml

But basically, just look for this picture on menus

Those are snacks.

Definitely look for that snack sign posted above, there are a lot more snacks to be had than just the ice cream, popcorn, etc that the DDP site says. My favorite are the snacks around the world in Epcot.

Thanks for all the input guys i really appreciate it and im going to print out that handbook and put it to use

Look for the snack sign but generally most items under $4 usually qualify.

Our favorite snack option is a cookie ice cream sandwich at MK Main St Bakery. 2 HUGE cookies and lots of ice cream sandwiched in between... mmm!

You used to be able to get them from Animal Kingdom (and maybe elsewhere) as a snack credit, but Main St Bakery is the only place I've seen that still counts it as a snack-- everywhere else you have to pay separately for it.

Hope you're able to see this pic...

Here is a list that I have - now granted, it is a couple of years old, but it really opens your eyes to how many snacks are available.

And a quick explanation to hopefully make things a little clearer:

The items listed as Snacks in the official brochure (soda, water, ice cream novelty, box of popcorn, piece of fruit, etc) are items that are widely available all over WDW property. If a location serves any of those items, those have to be offered as a Snack option.

But, each individual location can also choose additional items to offer as a Snack item. And because there's such a wide and varying array of items, there's no way to include all of them in the brochure. That's why they put the white-and-purple DDP logo next to items that are Snacks. There's also a single line in the brochure that mentions looking for the logo to indicate "additional items available as snacks".

The "snack-like item under $4" is a good general rule, but it's not the end-all-be-all rule. I've seen instances where it doesn't necessarily make sense, but the $4 rule isn't followed. At one point, a basket of onion rings at Flame Tree BBQ could be had for a Snack credit, while a basket of fries could not, even though the fries were cheaper than the onion rings. And don't be surprised if things change. The only things that HAVE to be offered as a Snack are the items in the official brochure.

Lastly, I didn't follow the links provided, but if any of them refer to things like boxes of Entenman's donuts in the resort gift shops as a Snack, that info is outdated. Disney caught on to that little trick a few years ago and started enforcing the "single-serving" part of the Snack definition.
