Hi there, Janet, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited that you're here with this awesome question about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation! My Panelist pals and I are here and always happy to help our fellow Guests, just like you! It sounds like you'll be taking advantage of a dining plan during your visit, and I'm glad to be the one to help you learn the ins and outs of this amazing value-add!
Janet, a
Dining Plan Snack might be anything from a single serving of fruit to a small bag of candy to an ice cream bar to a bottled non-alcoholic beverage. Snacks vary by location, and you can identify them on a menu by a small purple "DDP" logo. You'll notice that their cash prices can vary. Some Snacks are under $5, while others approach $10. No matter their price, if the item is designated as a Dining Plan Snack, you'll be able to use your Dining Plan for it. When in doubt, don't hesitate to ask a Cast Member which items are Snacks! They'll be happy to show you your choices.
Your Dining Plan likely allows for one Snack per day, but did you know that you can use your Meals and Snacks at any time during your stay, up to midnight on your check-out day? I tend to save a few of my snacks for when I visit
EPCOT. I love walking around the World Showcase, searching for Snacks to try, like the caramel items at
Karamell-Kuche in the Germany pavilion. When you're ready to
check on your remaining snacks, just head to the
My Disney Experience Mobile App!
Janet, I hope this is helpful to you as you count down to your vacation. If you have any other questions about dining plans or anything else, please stop by planDisney!
See ya real soon!
Jennifer
