Especially with some of those platters/baskets. I've seen a tip before where you can get a double cheeseburger basket, and then pay for an extra bun (80 cents) and then you've got two burgers. But I don't know if the Pop Century breakfasts are big enough to share, but if you supplement with something you've brought along, or a piece of fruit or something.

Not if I can use my already-existing DDE and pay about $20 for it! :) Then use that meal instead for s0meth8ng like Italy (which would have cost us around $80 IIRC), so much more bang for the buck! :)

We purchased a light breakfast (pastry) and then used our dining plan for lunch and dinner - we were BEYOND full. If you eat a big breakfast you'll be stuffed by the time lunch rolls around, unless you're used to eating three large meals each day. At most, you'll spend $5 per person on breakfast if you just eat a pastry and get a drink. You cannot buy a pastry with your snack option. I kept track of what we would've spent without the dining plan, and it was about $450 total, and we sometimes ate our table service meal at lunch, etc. There really isn't that much of a difference in price at the table service restaurants between lunch and dinner. I wouldn't stress about it, I would just go and have a good time and enjoy the fact that you're hardly paying anything for meals!

We could always get rice crispy treats and sometimes pastries. I think sometimes they are flexible at the resorts. The official policy, though, is not to include pastries.

You can use a pastry for a dessert for lunch though and save it for the next day if that is convenient. The snacks seem pretty arbitrary. It would be great if they just said "if it is under $3 you can buy it as a snack". Last year we were there during beginning of the Food and Wine festival and were able to buy lots items there with snack vouchers. We didn't know that in advance.
19	t1lersm0m Fri 4/28/2006 5:19a	^^Yeah, I just read a trip report by Mary Waring of mousesavers.com and she said they used a lot of their snack points for snacks at Epcot for the Food and Wine festival. It was a great read. here is the link: http://www.mousesavers.com/tri prep1105.html#mywdining

As of May 2006, Disney has expanded the items available with Dining Plan snack credits. Disney is now generally defining a "snack" on the Disney Dining Plan be an item under $4 (pre-tax), edible, non-alcoholic, non-merchandise and non-souvenir. Some items such as pizza slices are excluded. Snacks can be redeemed at quick service or snack cart locations only. Quick-service and snack cart locations display a "dining plan" logo on their menus indicating items for which you can use your snack credits. Among the items now available with Dining Plan snack credits: ice cream novelty frozen fruit bar box of popcorn 12 oz soft drink 20 oz Powerade 24 oz bottle of water piece of fruit bottled fruit juice flavored milk snack-sized bag of chips ice cream sundaes ice cream floats smoothies nachos bakery items Mickey rice krispy treats Also, during the 2005 Food & Wine Festival, snack credits could be redeemed for most "tasting portions" offered in the booths around World Showcase. Hopefully that will also be true in 2006 http://www.mousesavers.com/din ingplantips2006.html#snack
