Some snacks we got were:
Warm sweet pecans and walnuts at the World Showcase entrance (pecans were better, my DH LOVED THESE!!)
School bread and Cloudberry Horn and a double espresso at Norway Bakery (the school bread was the better of the two, GREAT custard filling. DH got up in the middle of the night and finished the other half of it. Cloudberry horn was very pretty to look at.The espresso wasn't done correctly, it was like she just put regular coffee in a small cup- I think she made a mistake)
Kaji Gori in Japan: DD said "good"
DoleWhip: Well, I think this would have tasted better if it was a little warmer than 40 degrees out, and I wasn't soaking wet and freezing from a very unfortunate "It's a small world" accident! I got the float, and it was refreshing. I was expecting the dolewhip to be more of a pineapple sorbet, not a pineapple icecream. It was good, but not "to die for".
Various pretzels, none were good, must have gone to all the wrong places.
Beach Club Marketplace Gelato: toasted almond was GREAT, Chocolate was very good.
Cinnamon roll and caramel roll at Africa bakery at AK. VERY VERY GOOD!
Napolean in France and an espresso. Great!
1 Brownie at Gasprilla Grill at GF. very good.
I did try to get a french toast loaf at the Main St. Bakery, but it was 9:00 in the evening on a Sunday, and they were out. I would have tried a icecream cookie sandwich, but I had just had a dolewhip. So nothing there, boooo hooo.
DD had a premium micky bar at AK, and loved it.
2 boxes of Minnie's bake shop cookies.(sent these to DD's kindergarden class)
Some of these things we paid out of pocket for, by the way.
On our last night we still had 1 cs left, so we were able to get 3 snacks and a drink for it at Mara. It was late and they didn't have much left, so we ended up with 1 granola yogurt parfait. 1 box of cereal w/milk, and 1 container of red grapes. We were planning on eating this stuff for breakfast. But we forgot to put it in our fridge, so I had to go down and buy us breakfast in the morning anyways! Which was painful, since we didn't have to had out cash for a meal yet. Which brings me to:
Dining plan thoughts!
We were very thankful that we were on the Dining Plan, since my DH hates spending money for meals out. It was nice not to worry about the tip too, and we noticed that when we ordered something extra to pay out of pocket for, an automatic gratuity was added to it already, so we rarely left extra tips.
Now I will put on my flame suit. We shared all of our CS meals between the 3 of us, which we did because we are not the big eaters we used to be, not because we were trying to get the most out of the plan. So technically we never ordered a child's CS meal. But we did eat at 2 places where there were no "chid" meals, so it wouldn't have mattered there anyways. And we did have 1 CS left in the end, and we told them it was a Child credit, and they told us it didn't matter and to get 3 snacks and 1 drink. We also had a 4 day dining plan, for 5 days of staying on property, because AAA wasn't able to add on 1 additional day to our trip when we decided to stay at AKL for our last night. So we didn't have 5 days of credits to use anyways, which being that we were sharing, worked out well for us in the end.
We also ended up using my DD's 2 TS credits for our last meal at Boma. We were prepared to Pay out of pocket for that meal, and even told our server that we had 2 credits left because we had used the childcare services for 2 nights so DH and I could have a couple "childless" nights. She said it didn't matter, not to worry about it. We had asked the childcare places if we could somehow put a TS credit toward the meal she would eat there, and like give us $5 off the childcare bill. But they said no, you just have to lose the credit or find a different way to spend it.
So we were very happy with the plan, and would most definetly get it again, just so we didn't have to think about the money we would be handing out at the end of our meal. It is a lot of food, however. I would never order an appetizer, entree, and dessert normally. It was nice, and I'm sorry but I don't feel guilty for leaving food behind. I would rather leave it go to the trash, rather than on my hips!!
If anyone has any questions for me, just holler! I'll be starting my trip report this week, so look there if you are interested in hearing more!!
