Love the ham and cheese croissant in France. Also like the cinnamon buns at Gastons.

We just came back from a 10 day trip late August. Desserts are not big either with my family so I did a lot of research for snack subsititutions. We stayed at Art of Animation, if you are staying there, the best dessert or beverage substitution is the cheesy pesto bread or any of the soups. Hubby and I shared a QS dinner credit when he ordered a burger (comes with 2 sides) and I used his dessert and beverage credit for the cheesy pesto bread and chicken noodle soup. It was enough for me
For the parks, I believe there is a sweet potato snack you can avail of at AK, not sure which QS restaurant
At Hollywood Studios, you can get a baked potato at Anaheim Produce I believe
At Magic Kingdom, you can order the vegetarian chili or clam chowder soup or any of the sided like broccoli or corn as a substitution.
Not sure about Epcot.
I find the website http://allears.net/dining/ lists the menus of all the restaurants and marks all the snack eligble items with that purple icon.

Good luck! You'll have a great time!

This sounds amazing! I will have to check it out in two weeks.

My husband and I, are Disneyland AP's and we love going by the ice cream parlor on the way out - I can't wait to do this at MK too and see the difference in the two parlors!

The $8 Funnel Cake with Ice Cream and Strawberries is a great use of the snack credit in Hollywood Studios. It's at the Oasis Canteen kiosk next to the Indy Show.

I've actually just been reading about the savory options for snack credits and took notes! Yak and Yeti in AK has egg rolls or chicken fried rice. In Epcot there are a number of locations where you can get soup as a snack credit (Sunshine Seasons, Liberty Inn), There is a lobster bisque in France at the same place as the ham and cheese croissant, along with a bacon and cheese roll. Kabuki had a couple of sushi options. I didn't see a lot of non sweet options at MK other than clam chowder at CH, pretzels or popcorn. Same with HS.
We are staying at AOA and I saw that the food court has a southwest wrap that is a snack credit and create your own smoothies.

we had this last year, was fantastic...was shocked at how much you get for a snack credit, basically ice cream and two cookies all for one credit

Gastons did/do the cinnamon roll we found that really good as well for a snack credit.

everytime I look at Gaston's at Disney.com it tells me they don't participate in the DP's

Must have changed from the last time I used at SH. I used the dining plan about 18 months ago there and they accepted it as a snack credit for the Nutella waffle but not the Chicken waffle. Thanks for the update.

We will have the QSDP on our trip and plan on utilizing our two snack credits a day on: pastries/a la carte items for breakfast, cinnamon rolls at Gaston's, Dole whips, Mickey bars, Mickey pretzels, popcorn, cupcakes, items from F&G festival food booths, and Starbucks coffee!

I know!! But so many people keep saying they used it....I plan on trying when we're there in a few weeks, hopefully still good.

I think that's because they don't offer "meals", just snacks. Allears has Gaston's noted as being snack credit eligible and the menu board also shows it. This pic is from last year, but things haven't changed as far as snack credit eligibility.

They definitely do. I've used snack credits on LeFou's Brew and a cinnamon roll many times. Like PP said, I think it says that because they don't offer any full meals.

There is a Starbucks in the Animal Kingdom. You can get ANYTHING in the store, and it will count as a snack credit. Ended up getting an $8 frapp.

SO good to know!!
