Why do so many people NOT use their snack credits?

[sunlover13]

We always have a ton of snack credits leftover, but use them to bring home Mickey rice crispie treats, cookies, pretzels, candy, etc. for nieces & nephews back home. We had bottled water & breakfast items delivered from Garden Grocer last trip so no need to use any snack credits for those. We did use them for milk for DD and cereal in the morning. I'd rather eat a granola bar or something on the way to the parks then to wait in line for baked goods, etc. at the parks. We don't snack often and with the dining plan, there is just so much food we are never hungry between meals. That is even with splitting lunch (usually).

This Sept we are going to hit the food and wine festival so we will be using our snack credits there.

We never have any snack credits leftover.. We may have TS or CS left but never snacks... LOL. Normally, we get something like a frozen lemonade during the afternoon and a brownie or such for the ride/walk home from the parks..... So, if we only have ddp we are normally short of snacks.

Don't forget to pack all those extra snacks in a 2nd suitcase that will cost $25 to bring home !

we've gone twice during food & wine (on the DDP) and had no problem using up the snack credits at the food booths - this next trip will be in december, so we'll be using the credits for dole whips, mickey bars - and hopefull eggnog, if i can find it!

We had a ton of snacks left over and we just grabbed whatever we could on the last day at check out. We came home with cookies, chips whatever just to finish it off.

we had snack credits left over as well, but it actually worked out bc I hadnt really thought about any snacks for the kids to munch on for the way home, sitting in the airport, on the plane etc. So I just used them then.

We've only done the DDP once and that was in December. We had 5 CS left and 13 or 15 SC left --for a family of 4

How?

Well, we're DVC members, so had some breakfast stuff in the villa and we're not big breakfast eaters (unless it's a big breakfast buffet, love that )

I did "hoard" the sc at the beginning because I was afraid the kids would go crazy and we'd run out (silly me )

We would never order dessert at every meal (and I love dessert) so it felt like we already had a snack.

It was December, park hours are shorter. It was hard to fit everything in, we were still full from dinner when the parks closed and to tired/lazy to go find a snack later at night.

All those snack credits and it's the one trip I didn't get a Mickey ice cream Didn't help that it got pretty cold that week.

Good thing we drove, we spent several hours our last day at DTD using up our sc's at Goofy's Then we stopped by SSR and used up our CS at Artist Palette with sandwiches and fruit plates for the car ride home

We always have snack credits left over. I have intentions of using them for different things (pastry, figaro fries, ice cream, etc) but then I'm full from eating lunch or dinner so I don't get a snack.

So the night before we were going to check out there I was in the snack bar trying to use up 10 snack credits!

We have never had SC left over. This year we used them for breakfast items like muffins, danish, yogart parfaits, fruit bowls and they really fill you up. We kept each 1 SC left over so when we went to DTD for our last day we could use them at Goofy's Candy Company, thanks to the disboard and the great pictures. We love the SC
