If you’ll be attending the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival soon and will be using the Disney Dining Plan, we’ve got some great tips for you.
First, you should know that a lot of the festival snacks are listed as eligible for the Disney Dining Plan, meaning you can use your snack credits for them. However, you should not use those snack credits without some careful, strategic planning ahead of time. You want to make sure you get the most out of your Disney Dining Plan, so the idea is to use those snack credits on the more expensive items.
Basically, the idea is to get the MOST out of your dining plan by ordering the most expensive things on the menu. We’re going to help you out by telling you which Disney Dining Plan-eligible snacks at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival are worthy of your snack credits.
Bramblewood Bites
The Grilled Bison with butternut squash purée, roasted mushrooms, and huckleberry gastrique is priced at $8.75.
It’s pretty delicious, too, making this a GREAT option for your day in EPCOT!
Canada
The Filet Mignon with mushrooms, Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs mashed potatoes, and Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs butter is priced at $9.75.
Steak? As a snack credit? Talk about RARE! This might be your only chance to get such a nice portion of steak for a snack credit, so use this time to your advantage!
China
The Crispy Duck Bao Bun with hoisin sauce has a price of $8.25.
This is another great menu option, and if you enjoy bao bun snacks, this could be a fun one to try!
Coastal Eats
The Roasted Warm Water Lobster Tail with garlic butter is priced at $13.
Theme park quick-service lobster? Shockingly GOOD! We were pleasantly surprised by this dish and would totally recommend it — especially if you’re using Disney Dining Plan credits!
Earth Eats
The Red Wine-braised Beef Short Rib with goat cheese polenta, puttanesca sauce, shaved pecorino, and petit herbs is priced at $8.50.
If you’re looking for a warm, hearty dish, this is such a great pick! It’s a pretty generous portion, too, so you really get your credits-worth here.
The Fry Basket
The Fry Flight is priced at $8 and includes Truffle-Parmesan Fries, Barbeque Bacon Fries with smoked aïoli, and Sweet Potato Casserole Fries with candied pecans, toasted marshmallow cream, and bourbon maple syrup.
