Hi, there!
Welcome back to planDisney, Jennifer. Long time, no see! We're delighted you've come back to ask us another question about
another Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Yay!
I think you and I are a lot alike; I always want to get the most bang for my
Disney Dining Plan buck. By maximizing the value of our table-service meals, quick-service meals, and snacks, we do just that! While the dining plan icon that indicates eligible snack items is not listed on the
menus posted on the Walt Disney World Resort website, you can expect to find the icon on menus in
and out of the theme parks during your stay. I understand that that is not helpful while you're planning from home! I can tell you that oftentimes, seasonal offerings are a great dining plan snack value. Additionally, eligible snack items from
festival food booths at EPCOT are usually a great value too! While you're counting down the days until your visit, I recommend following a few unofficial Disney food-centric accounts on social media. They often post unique snack offerings, along with pricing and dining plan eligibility information!
As a perpetually exhausted mom of three, my favorite use of dining plan snacks is on COFFEE. I often joke that I run on equal parts caffeine and pixie-dust! Did you know that Venti-sized beverages at Walt Disney World Starbucks locations are eligible snack items? My usual Starbucks order at home is a Grande Iced Latte, but you can bet I'm ordering a Venti when I have the Disney Dining Plan!
I hope this was helpful, Jennifer. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Walt Disney World Resort vacation! As always, we'd love to help you plan a magical stay.
