    Default Best uses for Snack Credits?

    What are the best uses for snack credits? Is there a list anywhere of current offerings?

    The Main Street Bakery will give you good value for the snack credit, and so will anywhere they scoop out ice cream into cones. However, I don't think about snack credit value too often. With the DDP, it's a great deal to get all the best food for lunch and dinner that you can handle. The snacks are just a bonus for me.

    We seem to be in that party too. Our snack credits go to waste a lot of the time, and we end up in the gift shop of the resort just before we head to the airport to buy a few crispy rice Mickey bars simply to use up those snack credits!

    We're going to try really hard this year.

    Check out if the new Caramel Kitchen in the German pavilion has offerings with the snack credits...I'd use up all of mine on that one stop!!!

    "Is it?"
    "Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."

    most of our snack credits went to waste last time we got the dining plan. i always read about everyone getting all these crazy things with their snack credits. Next time we go we're using the DDP and I would like to use the snack credits wisely.

    If you're going to be there during F&WF you can use snack credits on any of the food offerings at the booths. Some are in the $4 - $5 range, but they still let you use a snack credit.

    We love to use ours at the bakery in France. Most of the pastry items are a snack credit.

    You can also use them for breakfast items at your resort. We've used a snack credit for a yogurt parfait or a bagel and cream cheese. We've not done this but I've heard they will let you use a snack credit for a little box of cereal with a 1/2 pint of milk.

    We use our snack credits toward breakfast items at the hotel food courts. Some eligible items are pastries, bagels, yogurt, fresh fruit cups, orange juice, etc. Just make sure you tell the cashier which items (ie, the most expensive items) to count as snacks. It saves us a lot of $ on breakfast!

    For food items at the Food & Wine Festival. Some portions are so large (and great value) that we fill up and call it lunch! Where else can you eat Salmon, Pot Stickers, Crab cakes, lobster rolls and molten lava cake?! We'll be there this Sunday and cannot wait!!

    The best deal we found at the F&WF was a $7.25 lobster roll that counted as a snack credit. We saved up most of our snack credits to use there.

    If we don't use them up between F&W and Dole Whips, I think I will pick up a bunch of Mickey Krispy things for my husbands' coworkers who are soooo excited he's finally going to WDW.

    This is where at least 1 of mine goes each time. While not a great value we have spent several on sodas.

    Anyone know if I could use a snack credit for a german chocolate cookie?

    Not sure about the German chocolate cookies, but we saw lots of stuff available for a snack credit in Norway's bakery.

    One thing we do at Flame Tree BBQ is use snack credits to add an order of onion rings to a meal combo. That gives DH and I plenty of food to split a CS credit.
