best value for snacks on plan?

I was wondering what were some of the good snacks deals anyone has gotten on the plan? I've heard something about Doughnuts.

We just returned from DW last week and had a fabulous stay at the WL!

There are many good snack deals in the gift shop. For instance you can get a large bag of chips as a snack in the gift shop as opposed to the small individual bag at the counter service restaurant. We did get the box of Entemann's donuts for breakfast time. There were many more food items in the gift shop than I had anticipated and it is a good idea to check out the options there.

In the parks our favorite snacks were ice cream sundaes and floats. My brother also got fries a couple of times.

We usually got fruit salad or grapes as our dessert with counter service meals. They also allowed us to have a side salad as our dessert item. If eating lunch at the hotel we would sometimes put the fruit in the fridge and have it the next morning with our breakfast.

Having ice cream as a snack was all the dessert we needed in a day so we tried to get a healthy dessert option at the CS meal.

At the CS in the WL you could also get a cup of chili or soup as a snack. It was hot so I never chose them but they would be great snacks in the fall or winter.

For whole fruit or items under $2 we just paid OOP.

The Dole Whips in MK (Aloha Isle) are $3.99 ($4.25 w/tax) and are very good and a refreshing snack. The lines are long though!

I took a walk one day in Pop's foodcourt and paid attention to the snack offerings. You can get a jar of Tostito's Cheese Con Queso, a large bag of Doritos, Tortilla chips, Potato Chips, banana, small boxes of cereal, celery w/peanut butter, celery/carrot sticks w/ranch, whole large boxes of Entenmann's donut holes or 8 large donuts, cookies, mickey mouse rice krispies treats w or w/o chocolate, some gluten free snacks also, plus your orange juice, cranberry, apple, milk, soda, water. There were pastries too.

There is a list in the dining plan area here on the boards that lists all of the snacks for every park. I printed it out and took it with me, but found I didn't even need it. Most things were marked or the CM's would tell you what was covered.
