"snack" credits for lunch at MK, AK, an DHS

[meredith1]

We are quickly using up our points on the dxdp with character breakfasts and signature dinners. I'd like to hear some ideas that we can use our "snack" credits as a light lunch in MK, DHS and AK?

We are first timers and not familiar with the snack options that we could utilize as a light lunch in the parks. Thank you for any input!

I've been told at AK the Chicken Fried Rice at Yak & Yeti I think it is is great size for a light lunch!

At MK:
Caseys has fries and a side of chili that are both snack credits (my 13yo's personal favorite)
Pinocchios has a side salad
the market in Liberty Square has baked potatoes
In Adventureland there's a cart that has egg rolls
Main Street Bakery has a wide selection of pastries (more breakfasty, I know, but a blueberry muffin is my DD's favorite any time of day)

At AK:
Yak & Yeti CS has chicken fried rice
There's an egg roll cart but I'm not sure exactly where it is
And my personal favorite - the jalapeno cheese stuffed pretzel by the exit of Kali River Rapids

At Studios (without question the most difficult park food-wise):
Rosie's has soup and side salads available with snack credits
We mostly stick to pastries/sweets from Starring Rolls and Writers' Stop

I was going to recommend this as well. This is usually a lunch choice for at least one of us when at AK.

I just wanted to say, since you said it is your first time, that you will be totally fine and not to worry! The breakfasts are really filling! We typically get a later breakfast that serves as an early lunch. You could always grab a muffin at your resort, which could hold you over until 10:30 or 11, have the buffet then...and then grab something else light in the afternoon (if you need that).

We've been to Disney many times and have never had a problem filling up on much less than 2 meals and 2 snacks, much less when those 2 meals are buffet/signature meals. Don't sweat it!

I was going to say that many of the character breakfasts are AYCE. I don't know how large of a time frame you have between your meals, but you really might not be that hungry (especially if it is hot outside).

We went in June and ate Tusker House for a later breakfast, had a frozen lemonadge for lunch, and were still not that hungry when we ate at Ohana for dinner (we managed though!)
