Best use of snack option with our free dinning

Anybody have good ideas what we should use our snack option when we are there in August?

Re: Best use of snack option with our free dinning

We use snacks for all kinds of things but I think the one we get the most out of is snacks for the room. We get full size bags of chips, milk, and donuts to have in the room. A box of donuts has 9 in it I think, that's a lot of breakfasts in the room.

Re: Best use of snack option with our free dinning

We used the snack options for things like 'chili cheese fries' peco bills to tied us over because we had a late ADR at Chef Mickeys, we also used them alot for the foodcourt for doughnuts, sundaes, etc. The last day we had so many leftover we bought a bunch of pre-packaged snacks like the mickey head rice crispy treat and candy.

Re: Best use of snack option with our free dinning

I'd just use them however strikes your fancy as you're going along. There's so much food with the dining plan, I found we really didn't need snacks. Bottles of water might be a great option since you'll be there in August. Certainly it's not the best use of your plan money-wise, but I think you can go crazy worrying about your pennies.

We bought a lot of water with our snack credits last year and plan to again on our next trip. It's going to be HOT and we are already eating a lot so we won't need more food. We don't add up what the food would have cost and compared that to what we paid for the dining plan we just use the credits.
