Well, it’s official. The Disney Dining Plan has returned to Disney World!
Now, we know you have a lot of questions about the Dining Plan, and we’re doing our best to answer them all. We’ve been hoofing it all over Disney World to find out all the INS and OUTS of the Dining Plan, as well as to see how much it has changed since we last had access to it way back in 2020. But we know you have loads of questions about snacks, so we’ve put together a list of some of our faves that our confirmed as Disney Dining Plan snack credits.
Here’s a quick overview of the different kinds of Disney World Dining Plans and what you get with each one:
Quick Service Dining Plan
Inclusions Per Person in the travel party (ages 3 and up), Per Night: This plan includes counter service (i.e., fast food) meals and snacks at most quick service dining locations in the Walt Disney World Resort.
- Two quick service meals (entrée or combo meal at lunch and dinner and a beverage)
- One snack/nonalcoholic drink
- One Resort Refillable Resort drink mug per person, per package
This Plan costs $57.01 per adult (ages 10 and up), per night and $23.83 per child (ages 3 to 9), per night.
Standard Disney Dining Plan
Inclusions — Each person on the meal plan will receive credits for the following, per night:

This Plan costs $94.28 per adult (ages 10 and up), per night and $29.69 per child (ages 3 to 9), per night.
Most restaurants inside the Disney World parks accept the Dining Plan meal credits as payment, though note that not ALL of them do. Check out our full list of qualifying restaurants below!

But what can you get with those snack credits? To find out, look for the Disney Dining Plan symbol on restaurant and snack kiosk menus. It’ll look like this:
Not all snacks are created equal, and you can definitely WASTE those snack credits if you’re not careful! We’ve already taken a look at some of the WORST ways to use a snack credit, but now it’s time to look at 13 BELOVED snacks that you can get with that credit!
Okay, Starbucks lovers, we’ve got some news for you. If you want to get your favorite Starbucks drink in Disney World at ANY of the Starbucks locations THROUGHOUT the resort, you can get the largest size, the Trenta, with a snack credit. So grab a BIG Caramel Macchiato and enjoy!
The most classic and iconic of Disney snacks might just be the DOLE Whip, and if you find yourself craving one over in Magic Kingdom, head on over to Aloha Isle and use a snack credit for it. Yep, Dole Whips are included. (Not all floats are included, but most DOLE Whips are!) We don’t know about y’all, but we have to get Dole Whip at least ONCE every Disney trip.
We’re happy to report that a LOT of the goodies in Main Street Confectionery in Magic Kingdom can be bought with snack credits. But if you’re looking for one of the most delicious treats, get the Cookie Pie with M&M’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Candies at Main Street Confectionery. It’s a cookie with loads of peanut buttery goodness.
How much have we talked about the Caramel Gingerbread Cookie Sandwich at Karamel Küche in EPCOT? A lot, we figure, but for good reason. It’s one of our absolute favorite things to get there. We’ve got some good news, you can grab this cookie sandwich with a snack credit. YAY!
One of our favorite snacks to grab at EPCOT’s Connections Cafe & Eatery is the Liege Waffle. Various versions of the waffle are released throughout the year, and sometimes you even get it with toppings, but it’s a solid delicious not-too-sugary treat.
If you love that Blue Milk from The Milk Stand over in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios, we’ve got great news. You can order it with a snack credit. That goes for the Green Milk, too (although we prefer the Blue, if you’re asking). May the Force — and Blue Milk — Be With You.
Another special Star Wars treat you can grab in Hollywood Studios with a snack credit is the Wookiee Cookie from Backlot Express. This GIGANTIC cookie is made with two oatmeal cookies, sandwiched together with a fluffy whoopie-pie cream filling. If the Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies are your thing, YOU NEED THIS COOKIE IN YOUR LIFE.
While you’re in Hollywood Studios and you’re looking for the PERFECT sweet snack, grab the Funnel Cake with Cookies ‘n’ Cream and Soft-Serve Vanilla Ice Cream from Epic Eats for one snack credit. This thing is pretty huge and you could probably even share it with a friend.
We’re not quite done with Hollywood Studios just yet (seriously, this park is BANGING with the snacks). You can get the Mint Chocolate Chip Cheesecake at ABC Commissary with a snack credit. It’s minty. It’s chocolatey. If those are some of your favorite flavors, grab it!
Over at Tamu Tamu Refreshments in Animal Kingdom, you can get boozy Dole Whips, and we were pretty thrilled when we found out that the Dole Whip Pineapple Hard Cider Float counts as a snack credit! It’s Dole Whip Pineapple served with ACE Pineapple Craft Cider. This a light and refreshing drink — also, we love how it foams up!
Those snack credits are good at Satu’li Canteen, too. So if you want to enjoy the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse, all it will cost you is one Dining Plan snack credit. This dessert is pretty and tastes AMAZING.
If you find yourself hanging around the Boardwalk, pop into Boardwalk Deli and spend a snack credit on the Mickey Brownie. Now we’re picky about our brownies, but this one is almost always a winner for us. Plus it often gets a seasonal makeover.
Are you staying at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, or even just visiting? The infamous Campfire Cupcake is available as a snack credit there at Roaring Fork. It’s a chocolate cupcake topped with marshmallow frosting and it IS as good as it sounds. This one has been around for a while and has been a longtime favorite with just about everyone.
So if you plan on getting the Disney Dining Plan, make a note of these snacks that we think are NOT to be missed in Disney World.

Nicole says
Is a beverage not included with your Table Service meal? You only have entre & dessert in the article
Also, I think the last dining plan was a better value. You could get alcoholic or specialty drinks on it
DFB Gigi says
Hi Nicole. Non-alcoholic drinks are included.
Willow says
Hi
I looked at the menu for Epic Eats and the Disney website states it is not included in any dining plan. The funnel cake would have been one of my choices if it was included.
DFB Gigi says
Hi Willow! We had a reporter there yesterday and asked the CMs at Epic Eats if they are included in the dining plan and they said yes. Disney’s websites are not always updated right away, but we can confirm that you can use the DDP here. 🙂
Chris says
Hi Gigi, do you know if the chili cheese fries at Casey’s Corner is still a snack credit? I read somewhere it was, but now I’ve noticed when mobil ordering, it no longer says it qualifies as a snack. Thanks!!
DFB Gigi says
Hi Chris! We had a reporter double check at Casey’s Corner this afternoon and confirmed that the chili cheese fries are no longer a snack credit. You can get an order of fries for a snack credit and you can get an order of chili for a snack credit, but not chili cheese fries all together.
Kerri says
Hi! We were just at Tamu Tamu and we were told you can not use a snack credit for the Dole Whip Pineapple Hard Cider Float. Sad 😥
