 <\/p>\n

One of the aspects of the Disney Dining Plan <\/a>that we greatly enjoy is the snack credits that we are able to choose from throughout our vacation. \u00a0We have used the Disney Dining Plan during our last three Disney vacations and have some tips and tricks that work well for us. \u00a0Here are some to help you get the most out of your snacks credits.<\/p>\n

First Stop of the Day<\/em><\/p>\n

Use Disney Dining Plan Credits Early<\/h3>\n

Our first time with the Disney Dining Plan, we were so worried about using up our snacks too quickly that we saved and rationed them early on. \u00a0This left us with a handful of snack credits to use during our last day. \u00a0Although this isn\u2019t awful, it did force us to make choices regarding what we could take with us. \u00a0We would have much rather used these credits throughout our trip instead of on the our last day. \u00a0This most recent trip, we used them early and often and had more than enough to get our Mickey Bar cravings whenever we wanted.<\/p>\n

Really Messy Ice Cream.. Sure<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Just Say Yes<\/h3>\n

This connects to the first tip of using them early. \u00a0The other part we loved about having snack credits with our dining plan was that we were able to say yes to our kids (within reason) when they wanted the popcorn, ice cream, or huge cinnamon roll. \u00a0\u00a0Having these credits made it easier to allow our kids the choice of what they wanted for snacks. \u00a0Because they were prepaid for, we didn\u2019t have to analyze the cost of each snack, or determine how they could share. \u00a0We liked the freedom, as did the kids, of allowing them to have more choice when it came to their snacks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Use For Breakfast<\/h3>\n

With the dining plan we never leave a meal hungry. \u00a0With that said, sometimes we don\u2019t need the snacks throughout the day or we often have fruit gummies or small snacks with us that can hold us over. \u00a0This gives us the opportunity to use the snack credit to grab something for breakfast. \u00a0Fresh fruit, yogurt, and delicious pastries can be found at your Disney resort as well as at different quick service meals. \u00a0This was a great way for us to use our snack credits.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Most For Your Money<\/h3>\n

This might seem strange as your snack credits are already paid for with the dining plan. \u00a0What we learned though is that snack credits are not all created equal. \u00a0There are a variety of different snack credit options that can serve as meal for some people. \u00a0This is another way that you can stretch out your credits during your trip. \u00a0We love the popcorn, Mickey Bars, funnel cakes and ice cream, but we have used credits to get a side of fries, fruit or even the large cinnamon roll at Gaston\u2019s that help stretch our meals out more. \u00a0Take a few minutes before heading out to Disney to look over the variety of different food items that are considered snacks. \u00a0This is a great way to try new things as well.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Take Them Home<\/h3>\n

If you get to your last day and still have credits left, don\u2019t panic. \u00a0There are so many delicious treats that you can take back home with you to make the magic last a little longer. \u00a0Delicious rice crispy bars and Goofy\u2019s candy <\/a>are all great options to taking with you on the plane.<\/p>\n

\"mfl<\/p>\n

We love choosing families to surprise<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Share The Magic<\/h3>\n

If all else fails though and you have credits left, share the magic. \u00a0Offer to buy something for someone else in the park to help make their day even more magical.<\/p>\n

We love the food at Walt Disney World and the snacks add to that love. \u00a0Having the dining plan and therefore snack credits at our disposal makes these snacks even more delicious. \u00a0We have learned through trial and error how to make the most out of these credits.<\/p>\n

If you’re traveling to Walt Disney World, here\u2019s a fun and easy-to-use tool for planning and keeping track of meal credits<\/a> on the Disney Dining Plan!<\/p>\n
