AK Meal Vouchers

[dthogue]

Are the AK Meal Vouchers still available? Which restaurants participate? What are they good for? Costs? Are they a good deal?

Thanks,

Yes they are still available. Kids are $5.99 + tax and adults are $11.99 + tax. You buy them at any of the counter service places in AK (Tuskers, Flame Tree, Pizzafari, etc). Just tell the cashier you want one when you order.

They include any lunch (includes entre, the side and a large soft drink or water). Then there are 2 "tickets" attached that they give you. One ticket is good for an ice cream or a box of popcorn from any sidewalk vendor in the park. I have also used them for an ice cream cone at the place across from Tuskers.

The second coupon is for either a bottle of water or a soda from the sidewalk vendors also. My kids always get Blue or Red Powerade and manage to wear most of it home!!

If you have anyone that wants to eat off of the kids menu the kids deal is great....because the ice cream and soda alone would cost about $6, so it is basically like getting a free kids meal. They do not have to be under 10, just willing to eat off of the kids menu. My friends DS is quite a picky eater and he always wants the kids mac and cheese at Tuskers, but as a big 16 year old one serving isn't enough....so she buys 2 kids vouchers and he eats both the lunches and then has coupons for 2 sodas and 2 snacks for the same price as 1 adult voucher.

BTW, the coupons (for drinks and snacks) are supposed to be used on the day of purchase, but we have used them later on the same visit and even on later trips when we had some left over. They really don't care....to the sidewalk vendor "a coupon is a coupon." (or so I was told by the ice cream guy on our last visit when I decided I should really ask if it was OK)

I just have a quick update on the AK meal vouchers use at Pizzafari. Our DD is a pizza lover and we decided to purchase the voucher for her. She wanted a cheese pizza and soda. We were told by the cashier that the childs voucher could not be used for pizza! They could only be used for the cold chicken tenders or the pb&j sandwich. I guess pizza is no longer part of the kids menu at Pizzafari. Figure that one out! We talked to a manager and she seemed almost embarassed by the fact that the kids menu doesn't have pizza on it anymore. She said it's Disneys attempt to move toward a healthier menu for kids.

WOW, no pizza on the kids menu at Pizzafari?

and someone is going to have to explain to me how breaded and fried chicken fingers and/or PBJ's (on white bread) are "Healthier" than a cheese pizza....that's a joke....don't think any of them are exactly high nutrition options!! LOL

Are AK Meal Vouchers different from the Quick and Casual Meal Vouchers that I have read about on the budget board? I was not aware you could buy the vouchers right at the counter.

THe AK meal vouchers are offered directly from Disney, and are available at any counter service restaurant at AK. They are good only at AK. The Q & C vouchers are good at many locations throughout WDW and must be prepurchased through a 3rd party reseller.

I suppose this might be the reason, but after talking to the manager at Pizzafari she lead me to believe it was for nutritional reasons. We noticed at another counter service restaurant the the chicken tenders were served cold(Pecos Bills). Our DD didn't have to say anything when she heard the words cold chicken, she just made a 'yuk' face. We ended up ordering her the cheese pizza off the adult menu.
