2008 DDP snacks

[Luv2Roam]

The only place I heard the under $4 rule was here on the Dis -- until not long ago I heard a CM in the Main St candy store tell the guest the $4 rule. I should have asked her if she was a Dis-er. I imagine it will be like any other thing -- depends on who you ask and where you are.

Boulangerie does not accept snack credits for pastries.

More than once I have seen groups go through the line, get the pastries, arrive at the register, find out they can't use snack credits, and walk out leaving the pastries on the counter.

The folks working there then put the pastries back into the case.

I think they ought to put a sign up in there.

If the general policy about DDP snacks is going to change, I think it's going to be strictly to eliminate the offerings of items that are meant to serve several people for one credit.

I was told by several CM's in August that the under $4 rule did apply

They were mistaken (or just telling you what they thought you wanted to hear).

I am going for twelve nights in 2008 with the deluxe plan, so I'll have twenty-four snack credits. I will be very dissapointed if my options are limited to sodas, ice cream, and popcorn. I wouldn't mind so much if they take things like the boxes of doughnuts, (though that would last me several days,) and the huge bag of chips, since they aren't really "snacks," and are definatly not single-servings, but I'd be very upset if I couldn't get things like Figaro fries, onion rings, or Dole Whips.

Anyone snacking at WDW today. What's going on with snack credits? We leave in three weeks and this has been plaquing my mind!

We were on free dining in Sept - stayed at Pop, we were going to use our snack credits at Food and Wine fest, dd got sick, so like many others, right before boarding ME to airport we went to Pop gift shop - and the checker gave me the under $4 rule -

it's embarrassing how much money we "spent" and they became stocking stuffers!!

I got back today and used my snack credits today. I wished I had used them last night because they did cut back and the one item I get, the trail mix, was not an option for me today. I asked yesterday and was told that since I checked in before 1/1/08, I would be able to use it for that snack, so I waited. Big mistake.

I did however talk to the manager at Goofy's Candy Company last night and was told they had not been notified that the speciality items they have, like the chocolate covered pretzels, would be excluded. I did not try to use it though today so I can not be certain.

I can assure you though that there are still plenty of options besides the ice cream, popcorn, drink information in the brochure.

That's excellent news!

Sorry about the trailmix though...

This doesn't matter since teh 2008 plan is in effect, but on our trip Nov. 26- Dec. 2 we bought, many items from the gift shop at CR, I always ask what the snack credits can be used for and the cashier stated that it could be used for anything under $4. Then she had trouble ringing our stuff up (we had 2 room keys and 12 snacks) so the manager came out to help her figure it out and he too said that we could get anything edible under $4. So I think in many places, it was the "rule". I hope it doesn't change too much because my kids love getting the little packages of Goofy sour gummies ect.

So, we were just there.

There are still TONS of snack options, pretty much what I remember being there before. If there's been a reduction, I don't notice it.

The ONLY thing I noticed not being offered any longer were the types of things we discussed here: No "box of donuts", no "gallon of milk", no "full sized bag of doritos". But the more "normal" options are still there. We got Mickey Ice cream bars, mickey crispy treats, bagels, single boxes of cereal, good sized bags of carmel corn (in the resort food court...over in the "allergy" section of snacks!) and all sorts of other goodies. The menu boards are still FULL of marked snack options, too.

Thanks I am glad that they didn't take tons of stuff away and that they have them marked now I know last year I was confused with what would count and what would not.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone has used a snack credit in 08 for the lg
bottled water....
I think they are about 1 liter.

Thanks
