Best use of snack credits?

[8lovesmickey]

We'll be in the world in late July and have the meal plan - we have all the ADR's for table service but I am looking for some snack suggestions. I know we can get bottled drinks and ice cream treats, but are there other fun ideas out there? Can they be used for the big pretzels, for example? Dole Whip? What else? I'm traveling with DH and sons ages 10 & 14. Thanks!

Everything you could ever want to know about using SC. I never waste my SC on bottle water or actually any beverage, except rootbeer floats and frozen lemonade. :goodvibes

In my opinion, Dole Whips, Kaki Gori's and Cinnamon Rolls from the Main Street Bakery. Oh and the make your own treats at Goofy's Candy Company. Have fun!

what a great list! I am very excited to see Dole Whips on there...never had one but my friend raves about them, and since I'm staying at the Poly.....

My DD9 and I really like the Dole Whips. We prefer the Dole Whip itself over the Dole Whip float (dole whip and pineapple juice). Since the juice isn't cold it melts the whip.

I dunno, isn't the best use of snack credits to get snacks you like? I won't be choosing my snacks based on value...for instance on our last trip I used a ton of snack credits on cheese fries, poolside at hurricane hannah's at the Beach Club. Yum!

Wow, I must have missed it, I didn't read one post here that talked about getting the most value for your SC? Unless you're talking about mine regarding not using them for sodas or bottled water-not because of value just because it's a waste of getting something so much better... like Dole Whip, Hot Fudge Sundae, Beignets, rootbeer floats, smoothies, Mickey Bars, giant pretzels, frozen lemonades, etc.

The OP was simply looking for suggestions on snacks other than the standard drink, popcorn, or icecream.

Woops, sorry. I misunderstood, I thought they were implying best value :)

My favorite treat is the tye dye cheesecake at POP. That is where we stay, and I just found out that I can use a snack credit for an uncrustable PB&J sandwich!! My kids will be so happy!
One I really hope to get this year is a rootbeer float. Haven't had one in years!

For our family, the best use of a snack credit is whatever they want at the moment and, that is based purely on where we are in the World.

Keep in mind the snacks have basics regardless of where you are (water, bottled drinks) however, the real treat is in finding something special like Dole Whips in MK, cinnamon rolls at the Bakery on the Boardwalk, make your own treats in Goofy Snacks in Downtown Disney.

Whatever, you do, pick your snack based on the moment. :flower3:

My favs: Dole Float, MM ice cream bars. We'll be looking for the MK Bakery items (cinnamon rolls) and the ice cream cookie sandwiches.

Funnel Cakes in the MK (not on DDP in Epcot)

Our family has split one four ways for a snack - 2 adults, 2 kids! (But if you really want to indulge and fill up, you can still get one per person...)

WOW these would be all of my picks, I'm getting hungry. I take a bunch of dollar bills for the waters and sodas in the parks.
That Hot Fudge Sundae at POP we had about 4 nights last year after returning from the parks.

See that would be what I would spend it on. The cheese fries not the ice cream. I really need to find out more about using these credits for stuff like this that I wouldn't think to use it for. Is there a way to tell how something qualifies as a snack? Do you have to ask a CM or is there a notation on it?
