Meadow snack bar question???

[laceemouse]

Okay, so we are still considering a FW stay in November/December. I am trying to talk dh into the dining plan. It looks like the only place at FW to get a snack on the plan is Meadow snack bar. What do they have? Is there any snack item, such as muffins, that we could use as breakfast? Hours??? Dh thinks the DP is too much food, we can not eat 6 desserts twice a day! I was trying to see how we could share meals at breakfast and lunch, eat snacks for breakfast some days, ect., to "stretch" the plan and not have to buy any other food. The other resorts all have food courts with several snack and TS options. I understand many campers fix their own food. Anyone else do the dining plan? How did you use it???

Do you mean the snack bar at the Meadows pool? If so, it is only open seasonally and most likely will not be open during November/December time frame. If it means the chuck wagon at the campfire program, that is only open during the evening campfire program.

Thanks, so only TE would be open? I am kinda surprised by the seasonal opening, don't people swim year round in the Meadows pool? I guess I just assumed that you could buy food by the pool all year long. Oh well.

we just came back from FW and we were on the meal plan. You can go to the trails end and get a muffin or pastry as a snack option. If you get a drink too that would be another snack or you could pay cash. You can also use a quick service/counter serv to get the drink/pastry combo, but that is not as cost efficient. At the Meadows/Settlement store, you can also use the plan to buy many items considered snacks as long as they are under $4. We had a lot of snacks left over and on our last day, picked up bags of candy,cookies for the ride home and as long as they are under $4- they let us.
We find FW a little frustrating with the meal plan because they have no quick service restaurant and the choices are slim.
hope that helps and enjoy your trip
