DDP and F&W

[Disneychick75]

I'm sure this has been asked but I can't find a thread. Where can we or can we use the DDP at F&W? Kinda sorta thinking about adding it to our reservation. We probably wouldn't save money but it is convenient.

You can use the snack credits for many of the F&W items. The menu will be marked with the DDP symbol for the items that take a snack credit.

Thank-you Wood Nymph!

If you trip is specifically for F & W unless you are planning to do TS every night with the regular dining plan IMO it definitely isn't worth adding it for F & W. While it is a good use of snack credits you still have your other QS &/or TS credits to use. If you want to really enjoy the booths you are better off just paying as you go. Rumor has it they will allow the conversion of 1 QS to 3 snack credits at the booths this year but all three credits will have to be used at the booth where you do the conversion which unless you do something like order 3 of the filets at the Canada booth or 3 lobster rolls you aren't getting near enough return value for converting your QS credit. The snack credits are only usable for food items not alcoholic beverages.

Ha! This is one of the things I am most looking forward too. Lobster rolls all around!

I was planning to get the regular DDP and have table service meals planned each day. So, it really isn't worth buying the dining plan then? I'm slow like that.

Where do we find the lobster rolls? These sound delicious!

It really depends on if you are planing on spending a lot of time at F&W or just maybe a day. I've found after I've snacked and sampled the booths I'm really full and a TS meal is the last thing on my mind. If I eat a meal at all other than breakfast it's a QS and normally I don't even do that.

Thanks for your advice. Usually, I skip breakfast, eat my big meal at lunch and then have a light meal for dinner. Looks like I'll be snacking around the world this trip. We're staying at the BCV, so we'll probably go to F&W each evening. We will spend the Monday of our trip at Epcot.

Do you already have TS meals planned for each day for your lunches? Even if you used the DP TS credits to pay for the lunches you'd still have all the QS leftover and as I said earlier they wouldn't for the most part be a good value to convert for the booths so I think even if you've planned big lunches you are better off paying for those meals rather than purchasing the DP.

Yes, I have table service lunches planned. I've decided to just use my debit card.
Thanks so much everyone for your replies!
