Disney World: Munches

Tutto Italia, Epcot - Italy

Disney World is the happiest place with the tastiest bites. If you're on the Disney Dining Plan when you take your trip, bring pants that are 3 sizes too big because you have no other way to prepare for what's coming.  If you're worried that you won't get your money's worth of food on the trip, you can put your mind at ease. You will eat so much, you won't even believe it. You'll also have some serious Disney Dining Plan withdraws when you get back to the real world. It's a hard transition. But it's so worth it, and it makes you feel even more at ease and stress less. Here are my favorite Disney Dining Plan spots that will help you use all of your points and get the most!

Quick Meals

Quick meals are great to use for lunch, especially if you're saving your table services for a nice sit down dinner. Here are my fave:

• Harambe Market, Animal Kingdom
• Gaston's Tavern, Magic Kingdom
• Pecos Bill's, Magic Kingdom
• Teppan Edo, Epcot - Japan​
• Sunshine Tree Terrace, Magic Kingdom
• Les Halles Boulangerie, Epcot - France

Snack Points 

My crew found that because with most meals we got a drink, entree, and dessert, we hardly ever used our snack points because we were so full, but the snack points can be used for pre-packaged snacks like candy, Micky Mouse rice-krispy treats, packaged cookies, and an assortment of little treats that make fantastic gifts. My advice is use snack points when you are hungry, but at the end of the trip when you have an abundance of extras, stock up and give them as gifts to friends. On the last day of our trip, we had 26 snack points. 26, people. So I took home 26 gifts for my friends! I got stopped 3 times on my way through security in the airport on the way home because of my enormous and suspicious package of Mickey-shaped snacks, but it was worth it.
