[HollVoll]

Can you still substitute a snack item for a drink on the regular dining plan?

TIA!

At most resorts, yes. At the parks, it's not as common.

Moral of the story: It never hurts to ask.

Great. We typically do it at the resorts since we already have our refillable mugs.

New here. What kind of snacks do you get in place of the drink?

Anything that has a snack symbol on the menu at the quick service restaurant at the resort. It really varies by location. Sometimes it is dessert, pastry, soup, hummus, fruit bowl, even a bag of candy.

Where are you staying? Pop is a no, but AoA will and it's a short walk. I believe there were reports of POFQ being a no as well.

Your best bet is to ask the CMs at your resort the first time you do it. In case you missed it upthread, there are a couple of resorts where we've seen reports that they don't allow anything other than a bottled drink.

Well darn, we are staying at POP but I have been trying to change it to POFQ!

We do like to do a tour of the monorail resorts and usually eat at Capt Cook's at the Poly.

Yeah all reports, and our personal experience just last month is that Pop will not allow subbing. We just walked over to AoA after that at there was just no point in wasting a credit at Pop. I don't know as much about the situation at POFQ, but just recall seeing a report on the dis where they wouldn't allow it, but again you have POR within walking distance, although not as close as AoA from Pop.

That is sad. That was our favorite change in the plan a few years ago. With refillable mugs, we just don't needs expensive bottled drinks as well.

We are at CBR, but due to refurbs we won't be eating their much. We like to eat at Contempo Cafe, Pepper Market and Captain Cooks and POFQ.

Oh, well, we can ask. A no answer won't make me any worse off. Just a little sad.
