What constitutes a "snack" on DDP?

[atcNick]

What exactly is included with snacks in the disney dining plan? Want to get my money's worth. Don't want to go ask for a coffee and end up using a credit if I can get more. Thanks .

Look for the symbol on the menu boards at Quick-Service restaurants,
most outdoor food carts and select merchandise locations to identify
eligible snack options.

On the dining plan, the items that can be purchased with a snack credit have the purple DDP logo next to them. Here's a thread that has items that have been purchased with a snack credit this year:

And here's a website with menus. I randomly clicked on menus from some of the quick service and snack carts and saw the purple DDP logos:

If you are going during the Food & Wine Festival in the fall or the Flower & Garden Festival in the spring, all of the non-alcoholic food and beverage offerings could be purchased with snack credits.

The confirmed snack thread mentioned above is a GREAT resource. It gives snacks and locations by parks. There are LOTS better options than coffee, unless that is what you want!
