Snack Credits on the Disney Dining Plan

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!

When you see this symbol on a menu board, that item qualifies for a Snack credit.  Here are just a few examples of things you can get for a snack credit:
​
In Magic Kingdom:
- A muffin, scone or latte from the Main Street Starbuck's
- A Dole Whip Soft Serve at Aloha Aisle
- Potato Leek Soup at Be Our Guest
- Freshly dipped fruit at Big Top Treats (be careful - the pineapple spears can be messy!)
- A baked potato or baked sweet potato (seasonally) at Liberty Square Market 

At Epcot:
- A Berry cream puff or Mixed green salad at Norway's Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
- All sorts of lovely caramel desserts at Germany's Karamel Kuche
- Combo Sushi at Japan's Kabuki Cafe
- Lobster Bisque or myriad pastries at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie in France

At Animal Kingdom:
- Fresh fruit at Harambe Fruit Market
- Chicken Fried Rice at Anandapur Local Food Cafe
- Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich at Dino-Bite Snacks
- Oatmeal with apples, brown sugar and raisins at Pizzafari

At Hollywood Studios:
- Funnel cake at Oasis Canteen
- Cream Cheese Pretzel at the Pretzel Garden
- A giant Carrot Cake Cookie (a personal favorite!) at Writer's Stop
- Carrots and celery with ranch at multiple locations...and the list goes on...

...and on for several pages!  Here's a link to a good article from our friends at the Disney Food Blog (copy and paste the link into your browser):
