My family of 4 (DW, DD 16, DD 18) usually visit the World during the Food and Wine festival. We save our snack credits until our last day, always making Epcot our final park. Using those saved snack credits we will graze from the stands until needing to head for the airport.

That got me thinking, if you have 6 snack credits in your pocket where would you use them in each park? The rule is that you have to have at least breakfast and lunch.

Ideas where to eat?

Not really a direct answer to your question (because it doesn't technically qualify as breakfast and lunch), but we hoard our snack credits and then go home with a bag of mickey krispy treats. It helps to ease the withdrawal once we get home!

If it's Food and Wine time, that's an easy one. I will use my snack credits on F & W treats, but I won't wait until the last day.

If it's not F & W time, I like crepes in France, something at Karamell Kuche, a Dole Whip or two, egg roll or fried rice at the AK, something at Boulangerie, maybe a pretzel, cupcakes. Sometimes a cinnamon roll for breakfast. I never have trouble using my snack credits.

Oh yeah !! Those are incredible.....

Snack credits for 4, six credits left total ??

six credits will not feed both breakfast and dinner, but 4 double chocolate muffins and two drinks......rest out of pocket.....not easy to do splitting 6 credits between 4 people over the span of two meals.....

if you had six each, then one muffin each and a drink for breakfast, then for lunch I'd do a pretzel and a box of popcorn and a drink....one left for an icecream or rootbeer float.....

The first one would be for a large Dasani. After that, it's a pastry from France for breakfast. Later in the morning, I'll hit Norway for some school bread. For lunch, those maple/cinnamon baked almonds will do nicely. Then on to Germany for a chocolate treat. Last snack credit is for a green tea from the Joy of Tea stand near China.

Goofy's candy store in DTD is a great place to burn those snacks. Lots of really great ride home snacks. :thumbsup:

I've found them in front of Pirates of the Caribbean, but I am sure that they are elsewhere too.

We traveled with my parents last month and they didn't understand the "use it or loss it" aspect of the dining plan. Mom ended up having 13 snack credits on her last day. She used them all on the glazed almonds at the cart between pirates and the JC. She was so happy cause they charge $7 a bag these those at Silver Dollar City, were she usually goes.

I don't know about in the parks, but I could get breakfast and lunch at Roaring Forks at the WL. For breakfast, a bagel, muffin, pastry, etc. is considered a snack and at lunch the soup of the day or chili is also.

We use a lot of our credits for candy, cookies, and snacks to bring home. It's fun to have them on hand to take to work, have on hand for those days when one needs something sweet, or to share with family and friends. I love the snack credits! Just found out when we ate at Art of Animation that we could get a bag of candy for our dessert credit since we did not want a dessert. Brought that home too.

We drive so when we had a ton of snack credits leftover on our honeymoon, we just raided the food court and got snacks for the ride home.

I use my snack credits to cover breakfast, i.e., rolls, pastry, fruit cup, etc., and then use my refillable mug for coffee.

One of the best uses for a snack credit for breakfast is beignets - but you gotta be at the French Quarter. 3 per credit. Almost worth taking a bus to the resort for.

The best lunch snack credit according to our youngest grandson when he was a teen, is egg rolls at Yak & Yeti counter service, AK.

With a teenage boy, snack credits don't last long. We would use a CS credit for an entree and a snack credit for extra food, trying to fill him up at lunches.

Our family's favorite "end of the trip" snacks are huge chunks of fudge from the Confectionary in MK (and the candy store at DTD). Everyone gets a different kind and we all split it as a treat to end the trip on a sugar high. It's delicious!

Do the yogurt parfait's count as a snack credit?
