    Snack values can range from $1 to as much as $4...I always look for the best value and purchase the dollar items (if I want to eat) and save for stuff like ice cream or pasteries...

    Default Snack credits

    Hi I found some great places to use snack credits.
    Epcot-Boulangerie Patisserie in France- delicious pastries,
    Kringgla Bakery in Germany-pastries
    MK- Main Street Bakery-giant yummy cinnamon rolls
    HS- Starring Rolls Cafe- cinnamon rolls and pastries

    These are also good for breakfast items

    Hope it helps-Enjoy

    The best value I have found is to use snack credits at the Food & Wine Festival, if you happen to be visiting at that time of year.

    I agree with PittFan!! That is absolutely the best time of the year to be there and the best value you can possibly get for your snack credit! Of course, I might just be saying that because I love to eat!

    I'm not positive it's still a snack credit, but in the Fall of 2008 we were able to get ham & cheese croissants at the BP in France, Epcot. That was our lunch one day!

    My DH use would buy a big box of Donuts and Milk with our snack credits, it was a quick breakfast or a late night snack.

    At the Yak & Yeti, you can get chicken fried rice or two spring rolls for a snack credit. It's great to do this with someone and split, a meal.

    In WS France, there's a crepe/ice cream stand. I love to get a fresh hot crepe with strawberry or chocolate.

    Also, we like to use snack credits for breakfast items in the morning, pastries or donuts at Main Street bakery, the resort CS, or at Starring Rolls.

    That used to be an option but WDW has now specified that snack credits are to be used on "single serve" items.

    My favorite use of a snack credit is to get a mini Mickey Cake from the Boardwalk Bakery.

    The Crepes in france are pretty good and count towards a snack credit.

    I only need it once a day since lunch and dinner make me stuffed and include dessert so I use it for breakfast like bagel, muffin or pastry. I usually crave a sundae from main st. ice cream shop or an ice cream sandwich from main st. bakery so i might use 1 credit for that.

    The Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches at the Main Street Bakery are a great use! Two large Cookies with a ton of ice cream in the center....big enough to share and you only use one credit!

    We've gone 4 times during the F&W Festival and have saved our snacks to use then. The food was so good! After we used them all, it filled us up and counted as our luch! Of course, you can't buy wine or beer, but that is why we bring $$ along!

    Count me in for this! We seemed to have so many snack credits and the Food and wine fest is a great way to use them up! Soooo good!

    We will be doing this again in October.

    I can't believe that Mickey cake counts as a snack credit. So excited!!! My son will flip out when I get that for him. We are staying at BWV this year so will probably use our snack credits there a lot.
