Snack credit??

dizknee531 · #1 07-28-2009, 10:12 PM

I read today on another site that you can opt to NOT get dessert at a counter service meal and get ANOTHER credit for a snack to be used at a later time. We never knew this. Has anyone else done this before??

Yes... Have the cashier stamp your receipt. You can get dessert at another counter service location. But expires on the same day.

Wow! I didn't know you could do this!

So if we eat at Columbia Harbour House and decline dessert, can we use that for a Dole Whip or Dole Float? We've heard too many good things about them not to try them this year!

Wow that is awesome, sometimes I don't really care to much for the couple of options they have, but will still get something just to get it. Thanks for the info.

Thanks!!! I myself am too full at the end of the meal to eat dessert so this will work out great...Nothing like going back to our resort and getting a chocolate chip muffin...

So do you have to use the credit at another counter service location or can it be at a snack location like an ice cream cart?

When I realized I could do this it was near the end of my trip. I only had 2 days left. We had lunch at ASMo and came back by 11 pm & got a banana splt. I also had a counter service in MK and had dessert at a different counter servce in MK the same day.

I didn't try to use it as a snack, so I can't help with that info.

But then again, I quess you could call the banana split a snack.

...what a great thing....we always took the dessert and pretty much wasted them, we'd either take a bite or two, or tow the thing around till we just tossed it into the trash.....we'll have to keep this tip in mind for spring break.......

Does anyone know if you can take your receipt to the Main Street Bakery? Seeing as you can get counter service lunch there, I would think so. That would be sweeeeet!!!

Adambomb85 · #11 07-29-2009, 01:23 PM

This is some of the greatest insider information I have recieved! haha Like most people, I will usually only order the dessert because I feel like I have paid for it on my DDP and need to get my full value. Now, I can get that sweet treat at night I usually crave!

Thanks for this!

So when ordering, I would just tell the cast member ringing me up that I would like to use my dessert credit another time and they just stamp my receipt with something?

PrincessJadesMom · #12 07-29-2009, 02:46 PM

That' great to know. We always run out of snack credits before the end of our trip.

egospotter · #13 07-29-2009, 04:03 PM

Oh, I am going to have to try this when we go next month. Some places have good desserts light Sunshine Seasons. But otherwise there are only so many perfect round chocolate cakes I can handle in a week+

.

It would be nice to eat where ever and then find a good spot of desserts, or get something at the very end of the day and bring it back to the room for breakfast the next morning.

mshomeschoolmom · #14 07-29-2009, 07:15 PM

Can this be done only in the park we are at or if we had counter service at AK and wanted to wait on our dessert can we get it at our resort that evening?

That is great! I'd love to find out some more info on this like the pp have asked. I can't have nuts, so the little carrot cakes are out and I'm pretty much down to the little chocolate cakes!

i wish I could add more info. These are the only two times I tried this. Both times involved ice cream which is why I asked the CM if I could come back later. I meant after my meal so the ice cream wouldn't melt. I was told by CM as long as my receipt was stamped (I believe it was a small Mickey Mouse) I could come back anytime before closing on the same day. So that's what I did at All Star Movies. The following day was our last day. We were only in MK. I forget what CS we ate. I just asked CM to stamp my receipt. Later on, when hungry I did turn it in to another CS at MK without any questions asked. I will point out that this was a couple of years ago.

Wow - I would like to know more about this... There are a few CS places that have

desserts - I would LOVE to be able to skip those and get the good ones!

dyin tago · #18 07-31-2009, 12:17 PM

we did that on our last couple of september trips but was at a waterpark and another counter service location. they only did it if you wanted an ice cream dessert and could return for it after you ate so the ice cream wouldn`t melt. we asked if we could save it for later on at a different location and we were told it had to be the location on the stamped receipt.

magicofdisney · #19 07-31-2009, 02:08 PM

This is such great information to have. I'm in agreement that not all dessert options are palatable. I can't wait to try this out and then use my snack options more efficiently.

dizknee531 · #20 08-01-2009, 08:36 PM

Thanks for the advice- I will let you know in a few weeks , how I made out.
