2010 Confirmed DDP Snack Credits/Add updates here

[catne]

So bags of Mickey gummy heads or any prepacked Goofy's Candy are not included in the snack credits?

If it's packaged as a "single serving" it may be allowed, even if it's not on the list on post 1 of this thread. There are a number of gummy items that have been reported as acceptable for a snack credit. The list on page 1 is made up from menu photos like the one above from AK, and it's also from people reporting what they were allowed to use snack credits on - not an all-inclusive list. It does get updated whenever there's a new report of an item allowed or no longer allowed, and when people post menu pictures. So it could be the items you're asking about are allowed, just haven't been reported. Some prepackaged Goofy's Candy is allowed, I've seen it in displays near the registers at some stores. The trick is usually in how many "servings" the package is listed at. Some surprisingly small packages will say 2 servings...or "family pack."

If you look at some of the pictures in this tread you can see the SC symbol. But here it is again:

There is no CS symbol...

Honestly for a second there I thought this was a troll post. Because who doesn't know what biscuits and gravy are?!? Then I noticed you had over 2k posts and that you are from the UK. So now I understand.

here's a pic:

This is a southern side dish. The gravy is white (or milk based) with crumbled sausage. It can be used to accompany any meal - but is most popular for breakfast. I practically grew up on the stuff. Very good. Although Disney doesn't make it spicy enough from my taste - so I always add a few packets of black pepper. Try it.

Thanks for that, and yes from the UK ...... will get there in the end - easier to find out these things now, rather than wait until get there. So when it says "biscuit and gravy" the "gravy" part is the sauce, the "biscuit" is ???

So how do we know what is free dining for a counter service? is everything free or you just have to ask?

Thanks again - getting very excited now - booked over a year ago, and 8 of us, all family coming over.

from a non US perspective (aussie here) the "biscuit" thing tastes a lot like a greasy scone (like if you had made them with too much butter)

As a Canadian, I'd argue that they taste like a greasy-butterless scone. As you can tell, I'm not a fan. Every WDW trip, my DW gets one early on because they look awfully scone-like. Then, she proceeds to grimace and complain and I remind her, "it's a biscuit, not a scone!" So, I think she has finally learned to only try them at all you can eat buffets, rather than paying for them separately.

I'm no scone expert, but the ones I've had were a bit sweetened, and maybe had raisins or something baked in. Also they were a bit more dense than a US biscuit. And I believe what you would call a "biscuit" in the UK, we call a cookie.

In the US, a biscuit looks like a scone, but should be light and fluffy inside (though not as light as a croissant). Biscuits are also never sweet, but could be served with butter and honey. I pretty much only eat them with sausage gravy. I barely taste the biscuit itself.

All this biscuits and gravy talk has me laughing. I think it is definitely a southern US thing. I am from the northwest. I love biscuits, but the gravy is gross to me. I think it starts as though you are going to make a sauce. Flour and butter (a rue) and doesn't really go much beyond it besides a bit of liquid (I think milk), salt, pepper and finally some sage seasoned sausage. (at least sage in the ones I have tried) As for the biscuit, it is kinda like a scone in that it is a dense roll. It is moister though..and yes it definitely can be greasy. (although shouldn't be overly so) The dough gets rolled out and folded on itself to hopefully create layers once cooked. As someone mentioned though, it is not at all like a croissant. (those layers are buttery and light). For me, a biscuit is better served with butter and honey. (or some jam) See, so much like you would eat a scone. I think a big difference in how they taste... the biscuit has a slight (very slight) bitter taste since it has baking powder/soda in it. (that kind of bitter)

I'm starting to think that everyone has had different versions of these things than I have since one of the reasons I don't like biscuits is because of how they manage to be both greasy and DRY at the same time, nothing like the lovely moisture of a scone.

Are Canadian scones different from others?

No, it is probably that the scones we get here are a bit different. They are crumbly and dry at most places. Now that I think about it though... at fair time... people line up (quite in Disney fashion) to get "good scones" from one particular bakery that only sell them at fairs. They are warm and moist... not dry and crumbly. And actually, now that I think about it...a wee bit like the biscuits I like to make. But... at most coffee shops, they are dry. Soak 'em in coffee dry.

I think this is quite funny how regionally things as simple as a scone or biscuit can be so different.

Ok, so I stand corrected on the gravy. My dh (who loves the stuff...bluck) makes it on occasion (I don't eat it) It starts with the sausage, browned but not drained...then flour is added and then milk. Finally seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook until think.

A biscuit is basically bread with butter.

Our scones are plain or fruited with strawberry jam and clotted cream

You CAN make white/sawmill gravy this way. I often do when we don't have any sausage in the house or to accompany chicken fried steak whenever I make it. Since, to me, the sausage seems like over-kill in the gravy.

But yes - this is how it's done for the breakfast style like in biscuits and gravy.

Thats what I thought....but dh is the "cook" around here so I felt it best to quote a more qualified..eh, hem.."expert"

Still, not my thing...but that is ok. I like the homemade biscuits he makes for it...so I eat those and skip the gravy all together.

Anyone know about french fries at Yak Yeti CS? I believe we got them last year, we were thinking of egg rolls & fries for a lunch since Flametree will be closed when we are there.

There not on the list on page one, nothing from Y&Y is so it looks like no one has confirmed anything from there for a SC. Hopefully your post will draw some interest. Maybe someone going soon can check it out. They seem to have many items under/around the $4 mark.

Added-I was looking back over this thread and found this from March 29th. HTH.

I didn't get a pic but the Yak and Yeti counter service location in AK offered fries as a snack option....why my daughter wanted fries with Honey Chicken and Rice I do not know but she did. I know there was more sodas, tea, water, coffee, mango pie, frozen lemonade, pork egg roll and fried rice and that's all I wrote down.

Looks like it's a yes!

 

[britfish]

Thanks so much! I know its not the most nutritious lunch but I figured since we have HDDR that evening a "snack" lunch will work.

 

[Adrienne]

here in australia we have so many different types of scones,

plain, buttermilk, fruit, chocolate, "feta, pesto and spinach", cheese and chive, pumpkin, cheese

lots and lots of types...

Baker's Delight (a chain store bakery here) do lots of different ones
