I said this in another thread I believe, we went last July and almost all of our snack points went for bottled water! It was worth it!

Nice to see they have expanded the snacks. We used most of ours last time for bottled water too, but we did eat at least one Mickey bar - we kind of felt obligated too with the free snacks! Of course, it was an obligation I was happy to meet!

That's what we are planning on. We drink a lot of bottled water, I bet we are out of snacks the first half of our trip.

Alright..Dole Whips...what are they and where are they? And Ice Cream Floats- my boys love root beer floats- can you get them somewhere?

Bottled water? We're bringing these sport bottles I found on-line that have a water filter attached to the top. Fill them up with ice (can you just go up to any food place and get ice?) and some fountain water, and hopefully the water will taste like water after it's filtered.

Thanks for all the tips.

For the Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT we used our snack allocations eating at the kiosks around the world... I was sorry we had dinner reservations that night because there were so many options available! We had leftover snack points last year....that we could've used at the Food Festival.

I liked having the snacks options... we have a familiy of 5....last year there were only 3 of us on the meal plan (last year two were under 3) and we had more than enough snack points as we don't get snacks that often... it was nice to be able to treat everyone in the family an ice cream of their choosing... normally DH and I would probably buy for the kids and than we'd eat their dripping leftovers! It's expensive buying them for the whole family... being on the meal plan lets us feel like we can indulge a few times during the week without worrying about breaking the bank....one day we might do an icecream or Mickey Bar (I like the choc.covered froz.bananas when I can find them!)...other days we might buy a couple of waters and a big grab of chips to share...etc.

What exactly is a DOLE WHIP? I would like to try one on our upcoming trip. Smoothies sound pretty good too.

A Dole Whip is pineapple ice cream. You can make it a float by adding pineapple juice. Either way it's yummy.
