Snack credits for meals?

[TJ12309]

Are there breakfast items I can use my snack credits on for when me and my family go? My idea is to save money and maximize my credits better by using my snack credits to purchase breakfast foods. Or is it better to use the snack credits for lunch items? Thanks guys.

A magical welcome to the wdwmagic famiy! I would check out the menus on allears and see if the dining plan would be your best value as opposed to paying out of pocket!

muffins, bagels (with cream cheese), fruit cups, and yogurts can all be snack credits at breakfast. Definitely helps out! You could also think of bringing along packets of oatmeal to save money in the morning, just get the hot water from the beverage station.

Yes, lots of things will be labeled with the ddp sign when you are in the restaurant/snack area. Disney likes to point out that you can get a water or popcorn, because they are cheap but you can get incredibly large muffins, bagels with cream cheese, cinnamon rolls, etc. a snack credit will do an excellent job of breakfast.

Thank you very much for the welcome! I did think about out of pocket but with a family of 6 the dining plan seemed more cost effective. I used a spreadsheet I found on another website. Out of pocket would cost 1600. The dining plan is the same and if I use my snack credits to get breakfast items there would be no additional cost.

You can use snack credits on breakfast items, if you are not sure Disney always has a sign by the food item showing that it is on the dinning plan. We always use the snacks credits during day and always get the most expensive item the dinning covers and pay for the less expensive items. Hope this helps!!

You can also use your snack credits for Smoothies! Definitely use your snack credits on the more expensive items and pay for smaller snacks or drinks out of pocket. The snack items will be designated on the menu with a white and purple D/P sticker.

They used to have the Entenmann's box of 9 doughnuts available in the resort store for 1 DDP snack credit. We would get them and have for breakfast with coffee in the room for a few days with just one credit They caught on to that.

There are still a lot of choices for breakfast. Look around for the DDP Snack symbol and you will find Pop Tarts, prepackaged pastries, fresh pastries, fruit, drinks and many other options. You can easily manage breakfast from snack credits alone.
