And during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/planning\/events\/food-and-wine\/\">Epcot Food and Wine Festival<\/a>, we have, perhaps, one of the best hacks you can utilize! During this season of delicious food and beverages, it really is a smart idea to have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/myw\/quick-service-dining-plan\/\">Quick Service Dining Plan<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Disney\u2019s Magic Your Way Quick Service Dining Plan offers Guests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 Quick Service Meals: One entr\u00e9e and one non-alcoholic OR alcoholic (guests over age 21) beverage for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.<br \/>\nOR one complete combo meal<\/li>\n<li>2 Snacks<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2018\/01\/walt-disney-world-refillable-mugs\/\">1 resort refillable drink mug<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The cost for 2018 is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adult: $52.49 (Ages 10 and up)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Child: $21.75 (Ages 3-9)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Guests using this package during a festival like the Epcot Food and Wine Festival can actually potentially save on their dining expenses by using this particular plan! Why? Well, Guests not only can use snack credits for different booths but they can also trade a quick service meal for three snack credits at the same food booth. (This is the key&#8230;you have to trade in your quick service meal credits for the three snack credits at one food booth; you can&#8217;t use one credit at one both, one credit at another and then the third at the last booth. So make sure you do this at a booth where you&#8217;re going to want three different items.)<\/p>\n<p>Here is one example where you can get the most for your money by using this plan for a family of four &#8211; two adults and two children:<\/p>\n<h3>\nBreakfast \u2013 Sunshine Seasons<\/h3>\n<p><em>Using 1 Quick Service Credit Per Person<\/em><br \/>\nAdult #1 Breakfast Platter (10.29) Iced Coffee (5.29)<br \/>\nAdult #2 Breakfast Platter (10.29) Iced Coffee (5.29)<br \/>\nChild #1 Kid\u2019s Meal (5.99)<br \/>\nChild #2 Kid\u2019s Meal (5.99)<br \/>\nMeal Total $43.14<\/p>\n<h3>Snack \u2013 Canada<\/h3>\n<p><em>Using 1 Snack Credit Per Person<\/em><br \/>\nAdult #1 \u2013 Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon (8.00)<br \/>\nAdult #2 \u2013 Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon (8.00)<br \/>\nChild #1 \u2013 Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup (5.00)<br \/>\nChild #2 \u2013 Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup (5.00)<br \/>\nMeal Total $26.00<\/p>\n<h3>Lunch \u2013 Italy<\/h3>\n<p><em>Exchanging 1 Quick Service Credit for 3 Snack Credits and using 2 other Snack Credits<\/em><br \/>\nAdult #1 \u2013 Fritto Misto (8.00) Water (3.00)<br \/>\nAdult #2 \u2013 Fritto Misto (8.00)<br \/>\nChild #1 \u2013 Mezzi Rigatoni (7.00)<br \/>\nChild #2 \u2013 Pollo alla Cacciatora (7.95)<br \/>\nMeal Total $33.95<\/p>\n<h3>Snack \u2013 Mexico<\/h3>\n<p><em>Exchanging 1 Quick Service Credit for 3 Snack Credits and using 2 other Snack Credits<\/em><br \/>\nAdult #1 \u2013 Short Rib Tostada (6.50) Water (3.00)<br \/>\nAdult #2 \u2013 Short Rib Tostada (6.50)<br \/>\nChild #1 \u2013 Shrimp Quesadilla (7.25)<br \/>\nChild #2 \u2013 Shrimp Quesadilla (7.25)<br \/>\nMeal Total $30.50<\/p>\n<h3>Dinner \u2013 China<\/h3>\n<p><em>Exchanging 2 Quick Service Credits for 6 Snack Credits<\/em><br \/>\nAdult #1 \u2013 Beijing Roasted Duck Bao Bun (6.75) Water (3.00)<br \/>\nAdult #2 \u2013 Black Pepper Shrimp (6.75) Mango Bubble Tea (6.75)<br \/>\nChild #1 \u2013 Chicken Dumplings (4.95)<br \/>\nChild #2 \u2013 Xi&#8217;An Pancake (6.75)<br \/>\nMeal Total $34.95<\/p>\n<h3>Totals<\/h3>\n<p>Total cost of meals if paid out of pocket: $168.54<br \/>\nTotal paid for Disney\u2019s Quick Service Dining Plan: $148.48<br \/>\nTotal saved with the Quick Service Dining Plan: $20.06<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, there are many ways for this to play out, but as you can see using Disney\u2019s Magic Your Way Quick Service Dining Plan can help guests save a significant amount. We just took an average number of options during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, so your mileage may vary, but the chances of you saving money per day with the Dining Plan could be substantial! During each festival, the family in our example saved over $20 by using the Quick Service Plan as opposed to paying for those meals and snacks out of pocket.<\/p>\n<p>We invite you to have some fun and play around with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/planning\/events\/food-and-wine\/marketplace-booth-menus\/\">menus<\/a> to see how you could save using Disney\u2019s Quick Service Dining Plan during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival.<\/p>\n<p><em>What tips do you have for saving money during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival?<\/em>\u00a0<em>Let us know<\/em>\u00a0<em>in the comments, or on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheMouseForLess\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/themouseforless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Did you like this article?
