Creative Uses of CS Credits

[Chloesmom]

Using our CS at the Boulangerie was our favorite use of our extra CS. Like you we knew we would have extra credits so we not only ate lunch there we ate 2 snacks there also.
For lunch you can get a savory item like a sandwich or quiche and a pastry along with a drink. My friend did get some sort of fancy coffee with hers but I dont drink coffee so I cant tell you what it was.
For a snack we got 2 pastries and a bottle of water and then bought an extra water OOP and 3 of us shared the 2 pastries. We did this 2 times and got to try 4 different things. Yummy...
I agree that its not getting the most bang for your buck but we still ended up having 3 leftover CS credits on our last day so doing this was better than wasting it. We always just did what we wanted and did not stress over the value.
Also, if you ask really really nice your resort may let you use your CS credit and get 2 snacks and a drink for each one. We got chips and cheese dip and bottle of coke by doing this. You can also get a box of doughnuts , a jug of orange juice and a bottle of coke. We had snacks and breakfast for our room this way. We are not big breakfast people though so this worked our well. My best advice is if you are on the Free dining plan to not worry over using snack credits on drinks. I know that we did this and I know others did. We didnt want to waste our credits on a drink so we bought it OOP. The last day we has 13 snack credits left and ended up doing a spree thru Goofy's. I still have candy...

Which resorts do this? It sounds like a good way to spend a rainy night while watching tv too. A family of 4 could share this easily too.

we were able to do it at POFQ and Pop... we asked how many credits for the whole pie and they said two... we asked if we would still get sides and drinks and desserts and they said yes, two of everything... it more than fed my family of four, esp at POFQ 'cause we got those HUGE homemade cookie ice cream sandwiches and cut them in half

BoardWalk does not.

Also, check the archives. At some of the pizza joints at some of the resorts, it was only 1 slice (plus appetizer, dessert and drink) per 1CS (or was that AT the BoardWalk?)

Sorry, but that's a violation of Disney's rules. Please don't advocate that on the DISboards.

Sorry didn't know! Excuse me!

gigi1313, thank you for the response. Wonder if they do this at Sports since they do it at POP?

my "advice" is don't count on it, but ask nicely and you may be pleasantly "surprised!"

we also did the pizza thing when the food courts were not crowded, between the lunch and dinner rush one time and around 8 or 9pm the other time... that might have something to do with their willingness, kwim?
