Question concerning converting dining plan credits for Epcot festivals.....

[starstruck93]

Hi, we purchased the regular dining plan for our upcoming trip in March which will be during Flower and Garden. I've seen a few posts stating you can use a 1QS for 3 snacks and give up the beverage which we've done in the past but I haven't read how to convert a TS meal into credits for the various food carts. Also is it true you can go to your hotel concierge and have the credits converted in advance so they can be used at different locations? If someone could point me in right direction, past post or article it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! April

I can’t answer for the table service, but on our trip this past October I used a quick service credit at the Japan Food and Wine booth for 3 snacks. I also had 2 quick service meals converted to all snacks at my hotel front desk because we didn’t know if we would want all 3 from the same booth.
( if you convert at the booth all 3 snack credits must be used there)
The first time at the front desk the person behind the counter knew exactly what to do. Later in the week I went back to have another quick service credit converted and a different person had no idea and tried to tell me they don’t do that. I very nicely explained that I had already done so, and could they please double check. She checked with her manager and came back and converted them no problem

It's done the same way a QS is....3 snacks, one transaction, at one booth. You may have to have only TS credits left for them to do it, but not sure on that one. BTW, this is a HORRIBLE use of a TS credit, value wise. That credit "cost" you about $45, and I don't think there are any snacks at the $15 price point.

Just know that this is RARELY done and should not be counted on as a regular way to use up QS or TS credits.

Thank you so much for this information. I really appreciate it. ❤ Yes I remember last year we had to use all 3 at the same booth. This is very helpful!

I completely agree.... Ughhhh I would never waste a TS on just 3 snacks, only a QS. Yeah that sucks.... you should get at least 6 snacks for a TS! Thank you for your help! ❤
