Food and wine festival? Can you use your dining plan?

[tlriv5]

I asked on another thread about counter service ideas and someone asked since we were going to be there during f & W were we going to eat at the kiosk? We were there two years ago during this time and never took advantage of any of this. Since we are on the dining plan what are the kiosk, counter service or snack credits. I'm not really sure what to expect at these kiosk. Can someone please exlplain that has experience. We leave in less that two weeks! So, we are trying to nail down some of our plans. Thanks!!

I'm not sure if I'm going to answer the right question, but here goes:

The food sold at the F&W kiosks is what I'd call tasting portion size - it's not full-sized. Most booths offer two to three food selections that are common to that particular country or region. Prices per food item typically range from $2 - $6. In years past guests on the dining plan have been able to use their snack credits at the food booths to purchase food only.

Not all kiosks allow for DDP. Just take a quick glance up at the menu before you get on line. If you see the DDP snack logo next to the item, it's on the plan, if you don't see it, it's not. I think they figure it out based on price and all the prices vary.
