Best Snack for your money

[mickeyloveex2]

I was just wondering what the best snacks were when your on the DDP? I've noticed that some places you can get a pretzel or a bottle of water as a snack but other places you can get much more like a turkey leg. So what snacks are the best for your money? Thanks! :)

The pastry at the bakery in France at EPCOT is amazing. Had the best Napoleon and couldn't believe it was a snack credit. It seemed like the parks actually had better snack options than our resort.

The snacks options have changed a fair bit in the last year. You can't get Turkey legs and I don't think you ever could. They no longer allow most of the candy as it now has 'for sharing' on the label. Everything must be single serving and nothing is priced over $4.

Disagree on the latter part--stuffed pretzels are $4.29 but count as a snack.

[clarkfamily]

This is a great thread! Please keep the snack ideas coming! ;)

Just wondering... does the school bread in Norway, EPCOT count as a snack credit?:wizard:

Yes, it counts!

[hedge333]

I don't have any experience on what constitutes a snack. I've never been to WDW with the dining plan and have had to be conservative with snacks. This trip (the girls' first) we will be on the QSDP so I have been researching and I am making a snack wish list. So far it includes:
Ice Cream Sandwich
Dole Whip
School Bread and last but not least the traditional
Mickey Ice Cream Bar

[StuckInKS]

Cinnamon Buns at Main Street Bakery

That would be my vote! I usually ate one of those (or maybe 1.5) with a cup of coffee (from our hotel, they had a really good Italian brand) for breakfast on our last trip. Although, I think I am going to have to try that ice cream sandwhich in the first post on our nexy trip! Ummmm!

[CanadianPaco]

Yes, it counts!

Great! That's my vote!:wizard:

[brymolmom]

Double scoop of the carmel ice cream at fountainview in EPCOT! :)

[chimo2u]

BLECH!! :sick: I found the pretzels to be hard, tough and chewy, overly salty and absoulutely HORRIBLE! It was sad actually, as I usually LOVE a soft, warm, salty pretzel, but these where so bad they went straight in the garbage!! Save your snack credit!

[kittycat9]

There was some sort of strawberry, whipped topped funnel cake we got at Magic Kingdom last year a little bit before the fireworks. We were shocked that it was a single credit - but it was. So delish. Even without the topping, it was so yummy, TDF!

EDIT: The place is called Sleepy Hollow (in Liberty Square, Near the hall of Presidents)

Completely agree! I was surprised how bad it really was and I too love me a pretzel. You want a good use of you snack credit hit Main Street bakery. Oh my!:worship:

These no longer count as a snack credit...or at least they didn't when we were there.

Does anyone know if you can get funnel cake anywhere for a snack credit?

Don't forget all the yummy "choose your own" treats at Goofy's Candy Co.!!!!!!:woohoo::worship:

Are you KIDDING me!!?!:mad: Darn.

I was so looking forward to using my snack credit for one-- or two-- OK probably 3 :rotfl2: Now they have make your own "covered" apples- They won't taste as good if I have to pay for them:laughing:

and, I think they are all more calories if you have to pay out of pocket too:rolleyes::rotfl2:

what in the world is that thing?!? (the quote didn't come through, I was asking about that giant black brownie/candy looking thing with M & M s on it)

I'd like to get this thread going again as it is full of good stuff. So far the

dole whip and cinnamon roll seem to be the favorites. And what is School bread?

[dancin Disney style]

And what is School bread?

You get it at the bakery in Norway. It's sort of like a bavarian cream filled doughnut except the pastry part is bread. It's topped with coconut. I tried one last visit because so many people on here were drooling over them. It was good but I doubt I'll have another one.

[jjsdad]

Maybe I will give it a try. I am always looking for something good to eat while waiting for illuminations to start. I hear the bakery in france is great, never been there but I would love some recommendations.

It's a "create your own" Rice Crispy Treat. It looks like this one was dipped and coated wth crushed oreos, M&Ms and then drizzled with chocolate. :woohoo:

[seadd67]

I love snacks!!:cool1: and by the looks of all the good suggestons we will diffently not have enough credits:rotfl2:,but I do not mind paying oop If its like the giant cinnomon rolls from MK bakrey.The Idea about makeing a wish list of snacks:thumbsup2,great Idea.:goodvibes

[disney777]

I would build your snack wishlist by reading through the 2010 confirmed snack Sticky in this section. (At the top of the Disney Dining Plan boards.)

[tiggspring]

Dont know where you got the pretzels but the ones we got in Germany were huge!!! and Soft. We keept a link to the snack thread list on our balckberries last year. That way when we got hungry we looked up what we were near and got something great!. Loved the Shaved Ice outside of Japan they were big too. Dole wips at the Poly, Ice cream at the shop just over the bridge to frountier land. We didnt have a bad snack all week:banana:

[Jamoky]

I agree with disney77. There are some great snack ideas in the confirmed snacks post. My personal fav choices are the crepes in France @ Epcot, the doh bars at 'cookes of Dublin' in DTD (they are deep fried chocolate bars), and the triple chocolate cake available at many resorts and restos around the parks (a chose this because after tring many snack all over Disney, its my DDs absolute favourite).

I got a pretzel in Germany once and only once. I threw it away. :guilty: It was horrible. Very dry and no salt.

I guess with me eating real Philly soft pretzels all the time I've become a snob. :snooty::laughing:

[disney777]

The candied almonds are one of my favorite snacks.
Also, and it probably isn't true anymore, but in January 2010 I could get a caramel apple with or without nuts at the candy store in Frontier Land. I forget the name of the store, but it's near Pecos Bill's. It is priced at $4.99, but they said the register wasn't "changed", so it still rings up as a snack credit. (They told mgmt about this, but no one had changed the programming, and they gave up asking.)
I don't expect it to be around next time I go, but I will check.

[DisneyTravelers2008]

The cinnamom rolls at the bakery at MK are HUGE and delicious! It is a great way to use a snack credit for your breakfast!!! I havealwyas wondered what we could use snack creidts for so keep these ideas coming...

[2Tiggies]

I didn't know Fountainview took snack credits. These boards can be very educational ;)

i'm sure someone else pointed it out already (admittedly i did not read thru all three pages) but the turkey leg is NOT available for a snack credit...

now, dole whip... that is mega-snack-credit-worthy for sure ! :)

I same reaction when I tried a dole whip and school bread. Awful stuff:headache:

When I tried the school bread, I was expecting it to taste like a Boston cream doughnut. I had no idea it was just a roll stuffed with cream. Yuck

My son wouldn't even eat the darn thing.

[gilsan]

The cinnamon roll from Main street Bakery is amazing. I normally wouldn't have a cinnamon roll but they looked so good and they tasted better than they looked.

I also loved the dole whip float, very refreshing, and Starring rolls peanut butter cupcake. It was huge and we couldn't finish it, but we really tried our best.:rotfl:

[SnowWhite33]

Warm candy pecans or almonds from a cart in Epcot.

You can get those? :eek:


:woohoo:

[disprincess2002]

These no longer count as a snack credit...or at least they didn't when we were there.

Does anyone know if you can get funnel cake anywhere for a snack credit?


We just returned a few days ago and actually were able to use a snack credit for a sugared funnel cale at sleepy hollow twice!
We also used a snack credit at the cart right outside FOTLK to get one!
They were too yummeeee!:)

[klynn]

My favoroite snack is delightful can of illy issimo Latte Macchiato. It sells for $4. I think it's a great use of a snack credit. :thumbsup2

[Belle & Ariel]

The amazing desserts at Sunshine Seasons down by Soarin' are great.
We also like the smoothies by the Stitch Ride at MK.
We get pretzels in the morning and they are hot and fresh.
Finally, we got funnel cakes at Sleepy Hollow in both September and December.

[3agoria]

Ice cream sandwich rocks! so big, you could just have one and split and then use your credit on something else! School bread is sooo good too! I always like to use a couple snack credits on fun rice crispie treats to bring home for school lunches....keeps disney alive a bit more.....

[got2luvtink]

Yet another one here that thought the pretzels were gross :sick: Had the sweet prezel filled with cinnamon apples at DHS at Herbie's Drive In. It was a tasteless card board mess. I hate to throw food away--but these went straight in the garbage.

Now it may not be the best monetary use of a snack credit, but we really enjoyed this:

Japan/Kaki Gori:
Kaki Gori $2.25 Shaved ice topped with fruit syrups: choice of strawberry, honeydew melon, tangerine, or rainbow (all three flavors)[/B]

Alot of posts of the DIS said these were really good. I thought it would be like your normal icee, but it's not. The shaved ice is actually a finer texture and the flavors are absolutely wonderful! GREAT choice on a hot day! :cloud9:

i agree, the pretzels I have tried there have been hard and dry...Maybe I am being picky because I am used to a NYC pretzel

The mousse tends to be a dessert at the restaurants, but someone mentioned that you can also get it as a snack in EPCOT at the pastry shop in France.

Yes! Get in back in the Pastry Shop and sit at one of those cute little bistro tables...tastes even better!

Im not sure if WDW has this(DLR does) you buy this item at the candy store on Main Street. Its called Disney Main Street Popcorn Co., it has different flavors(some have nuts, some have caramel) Anyhow, it cost $4.95 and I was wondering if this was considered a snack on DP?

[gigi1313]

typically anything over $4 is not a snack on the dining plan...

Some of my favorites:

LOBSTER ROLLS at Epcot during the Food & Wine Festival (normally $7.25 or something like that!).

Smoothies at Auntie Gravities (MK).

Double Scoop ice cream (plus a cup, so two kids can split it!) at Fountainview Cafe (Epcot).

Shakes at several different locations.

Dreyers Dibs ice cream pieces at several ice cream stands.

Tortilla Chips & Nacho sauce at a stand in Hollywood Studios.

Pecans or Almonds from the Nut Cart at Epcot or Hollywood Studios.

Several other things at the Food & Wine festival, including Creme Brulee, Cheese Sampler, Kielbasa, Lamb Chops, and more.
