Best Value Snacks for the Disney Dining Plan in 2025

By Leave a Comment

The Disney Dining Plan is a fantastic resource for many families and Disney World visitors who have done the math and know that they’ll get tons of use out of pre-paying for your food ahead of time.

Look for the purple “DDP Snack Credit logo” on price signage and menus!

The largest amount of credits you get to use are snack credits, which can be used at a majority of snack carts and restaurants around the parks.

When you arrive you will be able to see what is eligible based on the DDP icon on the menu next to the item you’re looking at. You want to make sure you’re making the MOST of your snack credits, so here are the ones we recommend — not only are they delicious, but they cost more than the average snack, but they’re all equal under the DDP, so it’s a steal!
