Hi

As I know we'll never use all of our snack credits for snacks, I was thinking about using a couple for breakfasts e.g. Using 2 snack credits to get Cereal and some fruit for example. Has anyone done this? Is it practical?

I've looked at the snack options thread http://www.mousebuzz.com/forum/wdw-r...k-options.html and I can see on there items that would be appropriate for breakfast - cereal, milk, smoothies, croissants, coffee, yogurt. But just wondered if doing this would be more hassle that it's worth. Some days we will eat in the room but I thought it would be a nice change to eat breakfast in the resort or the parks on some of the days.

Any opinions? We aren't really on a tight budget, so am happy to add a bit of cash to the breakfast if we want more than two items, but thought using snacks for breakfast seemed like an economical way to use up the credits.

Cheers
Helen

This is what we use our snack credits on for the most part. It works very well for us. We get a pastry or something of the like and then pay OOP for a milk or juice. DH isn't a big breakfast person but needs a little something. This is just enough to get us going for the day and then we do a CS for lunch and TS for dinner (as a general idea...somedays are different depending on our plan for the day).

My DD9 ALWAYS uses snack credits for breakfast. Bagel and Fruit! Then I give her my second drink I get with my breakfast CS. (You get one hot, one cold with an adult CS) Works every time!! OH and the big yummy cinnamon buns . . . deelish!

With an adult CS breakfast you can actually get 2 cold drinks. We've gotten 1 milk and 1 juice in the past or even 2 milks.

Good too know! Since I'm a coffee-a-holic . . . I need the HOT one!

Thanks for the Tip.

Don't forget, if you buy the mug you can refill it with coffee or hot chocolate and get a water to go!!

I did not know this! Thanks so much. I need to file that away in my brain for the next time we're in WDW.

I did not know you could put Coffee or Hot Chocolate in the Refillable Mug, I thought it was just for soft drinks so I've just dismissed as I'm not a fan of fizzy drinks.

Any of the drinks at the fountains can go in the refillable mug. Iced Tea, and I believe lemonade too. One can only drink so much soda!!

How bulky are the refillable mugs, and do they stack? I'm asking because we like to have breakfast and then hop on the bus straight after without going back to the bedroom, which depending upon where they put us could be a bit of a walk. Also a hot chocolate after a day at the park sounds good too, but I don't want to have to trek back to the room to get the mug, getting off the bus and going straight to the food court would be good. But to do this, we'd have to carry them round all day. Cheers. x

They're about the size of a travel coffee mug...the taller, thinner ones. I know there are some pics in other threads. I'm sure someone can post for you. I don't know about their stackability. I never bother getting them because I don't want to carry them around either since we also don't go back to our room. And, I'm a water drinker and that comes free from the faucet.

I did manage to find a picture online, but couldn't get an idea of how well they'd pack in a day bag. Does anyone else carry them round all day? Thanks

If carrying them around all day isn't a problem then once in the parks you could ask some of the CS to give you ice in them (they can charge if they give it to you in one of their cups) then take it to the water fountain and fill for free. Not sure of the policy now but that's worked for us before.
