[pinkerbell]

Went to the festival yesterday and we were able to use snack credits for food at the kiosks. This may have already been stated, but we are off to AK and no time to spend reading posts!! Yea for us on the dining plan!!!
If you have any questions we are going back Monday and I will try to get answers
Happy vacationing!

We did the DDP last October for 5 days while staying at SSR. We switched over to BC for 3 more days (not on DDP). We saved all of our snack credits. On the day we switched to BC we used our saved snack credits at F&W and were able to eat night long at the F&W booths. It was great and it saved us paying for a meal on one of our non-DDP days.

What about items that are more than $4? I know there are some things I'd like to try that are $4.25 or $4.50 - are they still one snack credit, or do we pay OOP?

Will it work on the $6.75 lobster roll at the U.S. kiosk?

I think that would a great use of a snack credit!

last year the snack credit was accepted for the lobster roll - sure hope it is this year, too!

WOW! This changes everything. I had no idea that the festival accepted snack credits for food. I was planning on getting the lobster roll. My husand wants the pizza. Hope that will be covered with a snack credit too!

I just looked at the pics of the food signs from last year's market places. There are NO MARKINGS that indicated that they took the dining plan. I specifically checked the sign with the lobster roll. So how did/ do you know that a snack credit covered it? Just wondering. This will help us plan how to use the plan best.

My husband want to know if beer is covered too. I am guessing NO. But I didn't know they covered anything, so it just goes to show what I didn't know!;)

Beer and wine are not covered with the snack credits.

The dining plan marking is on the "above head" sign on the booth, not on the stand at the front of the booth. Take a look at the pics at www.mousesteps.com and you will see what I mean; it's a little hard to explain!;)

OK, I'm a little computer challenged. I clicked on your link, but I didn't see any pics. :confused3

Thank you! I see what you are talking about. I am so excited that they take snack credits. We will be saving the 25 we will be getting for when we visit. Thanks for all the great pics!!

Thanks for the heads up. We leave in a couple of weeks for a 12 night stay, so that's 24 snack credits to use. We usually have a ton the last day and bring home lots of junk, so hopefully we can use them better this trip.

Just got back yesterday and yes, the lobster roll considered a snack credit!

:) We were there on Friday, the 1st day of the F/W fest, and we had the Lobster Roll. Sadly, we were not crazy about it. It had a lot of chopped red pepper in it which really overpowered the flavor of the lobster. I love red pepper, but I wanted to taste some lobster too!

Sadly beer or wine is not covered with a SC or I would have used all of my credits there. A lot of the Snack are covered and a purple sticker is next to the ones covered but not at the main board but the board over the pavilian. Loved the OOP beer but the snacks I used the SC for were all cold , small and bad tasting so don't order 2 of anything before trying one first.
My advice use you SC elsewhere, bakeries of sundays or a dolewhip float

I agree. You can make good use of your snack credits by getting the School bread in Norway (large yeast roll filled w/custard cream and glazed w/icing and coconut) or if you are in the MK, don't leave without going to the Main Street Bakery and getting the toll house cookie ice cream sandwich. They use 3 scoops of icecream! :scared1: Our family of 3 split 1 for a snack!

I agree, I've never even had lobster roll with red pepper, DH thought it was a Mediteranian lobster roll not Maine :rotfl:

I highly recommend EVERY offering from CHILE, and although I can't remember the exact prices I remember they were very reasonable for those not using snack credits
Shrimp con Pebre Salsa
Tomatican with Mango Cheese
Mango & strawberry fruit salad

Today was also the 25th anniversary of epcot, we received a free button and park map that included a copy of the first map presented on opening day.. can't help but think not having spaceship earth open was some kind of mistake?

Here is my rule for using snack credits at the Food and Wine Fest.: I don't waste my SC on items unless they are about $3 or above. Otherwise I pay OOP. Even at that, as much as we love the F&W Fest., we only get what we know we'll eat, and if we are even a little unsure we get ONE and split it. I love trying the different foods, and in some cases you get a decent amount(like when they had the Scandinavian booth and you could get the Kjottkaker and potato mash for a SC. It tastes amazing and its big enough for a small lunch!

[danielle782001]

Did anyone have the pizza? Do they offer a plain cheese or is it covered with stuff?

I hear you all on using the snack credits wisely. We have already decided we need to get the icecream sandwich from Sleepy Hallow. We really could not use all 25 at the festival. We are going at lunch time and we have 2 small kids that won't eat there at all. We think that they will get something from the McDonalds stand (they take the credits too).
