Hi Brandi!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with a very good question!
You can usually use a Snack entitlement from your
Disney Dining Plan to purchase a snack or side at Quick-Service locations such as
Be Our Guest Restaurant (breakfast and lunch only, since dinner is a Table-Service experience). Although not required, I highly recommend making reservations for this very popular Magic Kingdom restaurant, as the wait time for walk-ins is usually very long. This location accepts advance dining reservations for their Quick-Service meals, and you can book
online, by calling (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463 or by using the
My Disney Experience mobile app. Other Quick-Service locations don’t require reservations, and please keep in mind that you will not be able to use a Snack credit at Table-Service restaurants.
Since we are talking about snacks, let me tell you that my favorite place to redeem snack credits is
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in the France pavilion at the World Showcase at Epcot, and I also love to use credits to buy Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bars and Dole Whip Floats from
Aloha Isle at Magic Kingdom Park.
I hope this helps you while planning, Brandi. Please come back real soon with more questions.
Best magical wishes,
Thiana
