Pastry case at the newly remodeled Boardwalk Bakery
There's a lot of discussion online lately about the "snack" category at Walt Disney World. With several clients coming up on spring break trips, I thought I'd add my two cents. If you're on the Disney Dining Plan you obviously want to get the most for your money and, if you're not a big eater at certain mealtimes or if you have small children, your snack credits might even constitute a "meal".
Here's what the Disney Dining Plan website describes about the Snack credit:
"Examples of snacks are: 1 frozen ice cream novelty, popsicle, fruit bar, popcorn scoop (single-serving box), single-serving bag of snacks, single piece of whole fruit, 20-oz. bottle of Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite or Dasani water, 22-oz. fountain soft drink or juice, 12-oz. coffee, hot chocolate or hot tea, single-serving prepackaged milk or juice"
Yes, a bottle of water costs $2.50 in the parks, but you can get far more food than a bottle of water!

You can watch cast members dip fresh fruit in chocolate at Big Top Treats.
