Animal Kingdom Food Vouchers

[Twende]

Do these vouchers expire on the day you buy them? I understand they come in three parts and we wondered if you have to get all three parts on one day? For example if we want the save the ice cream bar part for another day, can we?

The vouchers are only good on the day they are bought, so you will have to take advantage of the meal, the icecream/popcorn and bottled soda/water the same day. If you buy them 1st thing in the morning, this should be no problem.

Thank you for the answer. No one seemed to know for sure!
We have a huge meal planned for the evening of our day in AK and I wanted to save some appetite for dinner but I guess if we shared a meal and the ice cream that we could still have room for a huge dinner!

Yes, I know they're only good for that day. But a caution about buying them in the morning. We did that, then later it started raining, so I didn't get to use the snack coupon. However, I figured out that I came out even just by using everything else.

We usually buy them at lunch time, at the restaurant of our choice - then we finish our touring for the afternoon - and on our way out of the park - grab an ice cream (if we are hungry) or some popcorn (if we're not - we save it for later). We also take our bottled water/soda with us to leave in the hotel room!

Another point - This is a LOT of food, depending on what/where you choose! We split 2 adult meal and 1 child meal deal for our family of five at the Flame Tree. We got the rack of ribs with a large lemonade (and this is LARGE), and the 1/2 chicken dinner with a large diet coke. We also got the children's hot dogs (with my 6 year olds voucher) for my 12 year old to eat since she won't eat anything with flavor or sauce on it! My DH drank the coke that came with the kids meal

So - DH & my youngest split the rib platter - and were FULL!
My oldest and I split the chicken dinner - AND WERE FULL!!
My middle daughter ate the kids meal - and WAS FULL!

The lemonade was poured into our water bottles (filled 3 small Nalgenes!) - we only got through 1/2 of the Diet Coke between the 3 of us that were drinking it!

Then on our way out of the park - We got 3 ice cream cookie sandwiches to split, and 3 bottles of water!

They are an awesome deal!

We generally end up getting popcorn and sodas on our way our of the park. The popcorn is usually gone pretty quickly and then we have sodas in our room for the evening. It's worked well for us and the price makes it a pretty decent deal.

Don't want to rock the boat here...the vouchers do say very plainly that they are to be used on the day of purchase, however we have on at least 3 occasions used them on later days in our stay and once on a completely different stay.

The first time DH stuck the snack and drink coupons in his pocket and forgot he had them....we split up after lunch and of course I had the kids that wanted icecream and he had the coupons. Later that week we were back at AK and I asked the CM at the drink stand if we could per chance still use them even though they were from 2 days prior....he started laughing and said...."I wouldn't know or care if they were from 2 years ago"... so ever since we just use them when we want to and no one has ever questioned when they were purchased.

Last summer we had several left over from a trip in June and the girls used them on a trip in August without problems.

How would they know they are from a different day? We've been several times in the last couple of years. They look exactly the same every time we go and they don't have a date on them. Just curious.

I noticed this in April. We did AK two days during our trip. Each time I order the meal vouchers and the vouchers looked the same both times.

So were are the food vouchers good at in AK? and what can you get with them? Any thing off the kids menu? I thought it was for a happymeal like thing. Do you have to use the drink coupon with it if you want a drink at lunch? Can you use it for dinner instead of lunch, and how much is it. What is the stopping age 9 or 10? is the more info on the wdw sight? thanks

I thought that I read that MK offered similar vouchers as AK.

Is this true and if so, where do you get htem?

THanks.

 

[missminniemouse]

You do not have to use the drink voucher as a separate beverage is included with the lunch portion of the deal. Just be aware that AK doesn't have covers or straws for their beverages, due to concerns with the animals. As far as I am aware, they are valid any time of day. Don't recall exactly which restaurants they were good at, but I'm sure it's on a web site somewhere.

I've never heard of anything like this at MK.
