Hi Barbara!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your question. I'm happy to help!
First off, I'm happy to hear you're planning to use the Disney Dining Plan on your vacation. It's a money-saver, a time-saver, and (if you ask my husband), a sanity-saver! It's so nice to have your meals paid for and handled before ever setting foot in the parks. Snack credits come in handy for those in-between-meal times, or for when you're just craving a sweet treat during the day.
You'll be able to use your snack credits to purchase snacks at Quick-Service restaurants, most Outdoor Carts, and also select merchandise locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort. I always seem to use mine at the food carts for a Mickey's Premium Ice Cream Bar or an ice cream cookie sandwich at
Main Street Bakery in Magic Kingdom Park! Simply look for the little purple and white "DDP" (Disney Dining Plan) icon to see what items are offered as snacks on the Dining Plan.
Snacks may include a single serving of items such as:
• Frozen ice cream novelty, popsicle or fruit bar
• Popcorn scoop
• 12 oz. coffee, hot chocolate or hot tea
• Prepackaged milk or juice
• Piece of whole fruit
• Bag of snacks (single-serving size)
• 20 oz. bottle of Coca-Cola®, Sprite® or Dasani® water
• 20 oz. fountain soft drink
Fun fact: Snack credits from the Disney Dining Plan can be used at
Starbucks locations in all four theme parks and at Disney Springs!
I hope this helps! Have a magical day, and happy snacking! - Diane W.
