Food and Wine on a dime! Advice, please.

I just read this on the F&W page on Disney's website.

All the more reason to make my own wristlet GC!

Ouch, off to make my own too. No way do I want $200 for one person! Thanks for the information!

I think the one posted above is a special one, it says limited release and that it comes with a special lanyard. I assume they will still have the basic little ones with the wrist strap for any amount.

We will be visiting F&W in November for 1 day (4 nights at WDW). I haven't decided if I will have the standard dining plan or not. In the past, we bought Disney GC at home and then used them on food and found it was a better deal.
If we get the dining plan, would using the snack credits at F&W be a good value (we would have 16 for our family)? Or should we stick to buying gift cards and using them?

Snack credits can be a good value for certain foods but not all of them. Chances are very good that there will be a thread on the restaurants boards (and also a post on the disneyfoodblog) that details the best bang for your buck for snack credits.
