Disney Dining Plan - update

dac921 · 05-09-2006

Hi all,
I was on the MouseSavers sight and found some info on the additions of snacks.

What Can You Get With Snack Credits?
As of May 2006, Disney has expanded the items available with Dining Plan snack credits. Disney is now generally defining a "snack" on the Disney Dining Plan be an item under $4 (pre-tax), edible, non-alcoholic, non-merchandise and non-souvenir. Some items such as pizza slices are excluded.

Snacks can be redeemed at quick service or snack cart locations only. Quick-service and snack cart locations display a "dining plan" logo on their menus indicating items for which you can use your snack credits.

Among the items now available with Dining Plan snack credits:

ice cream novelty
frozen fruit bar
box of popcorn
12 oz soft drink
20 oz Powerade
24 oz bottle of water
piece of fruit
bottled fruit juice
flavored milk
snack-sized bag of chips
ice cream sundaes
ice cream floats
smoothies
nachos
bakery items
Mickey rice krispy treats
Also, during the 2005 Food & Wine Festival, snack credits could be redeemed for most "tasting portions" offered in the booths around World Showcase. Hopefully that will also be true in 2006.

The snack becomes more worthless as time goes by. Originally, a snack was defined as an entree and beverage, no dessert or appetizer. This is the definition from 2003. I've noted how worthless the snack voucher was at Disneyland, and it seems that WDW is heading down the same path. For someone like me, I may get lunch and dinner out of the dinning plan, but it looks like my breakfast is coming out of pocket.

I did not think the current dining plan was around in 2003... was it a different plan?

Hey dac - does a Dole Whip count as a snack?

Boss, I think so, I am still researching that, but isn't Dole Whip a forum of ice cream which can be purchased for under $4.00.

Ic cream - yes. Cost? I don't know - I always end up buying 5-7 of them ... and someone else keeps the change.

I think it's GREAT that they are letting you get more for your snack credits! At first, it was only a choice of a few items. Now, you can get so much more!

Well from what I have been reading... and I even called just for you Boss...
DOLE WHIP IS INCLUDED.... YEAH...
Even though I have never had a Dole Whip... sounds good will try it in September

KittieKChick · 05-09-2006

Great! That means I can try one for the first time and count it as a snack on my plan.

Boss Mouse · 05-09-2006

dac you rock. Thank you.
Dole Whips in a mere thirty days (give or take 1).

PrincessPooh · 05-09-2006

Wow! This sounds great to me! No more fighting for a brownie instead of a mickey krispy treat now! I think more flexibility is obviously better!

And IMHO, I think the meal plan is a great deal, even if I had to pay for my breakfast. I can't remember actually sitting down to three big meals a day when I'm there anyways, so the snack fits us perfectly!

It was part of the platinium magic package. The gold at the time gave you 3 meals at any of 125 places in WDW. Platinum was 3 a day plus the snack. The dine your way meal plan is less expensive, but there's less options without paying out of pocket. I've always felt that the "snack" as it is, is a waste.

**cinderbella** · 05-09-2006

OHHHHHHHH
Ice Cream Floats!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ALWAYS buy these at AK..I

them!

**DisneyTeacher** · 05-09-2006

I like the change! We don't snack a lot (we eat too much when we eat a meal) but the flexability is really nice. I'm sure we will use most of our snacks for water but I'll have to have a Mickey bar at least once.
