Getting the best out of Disney dining plans

As far as I'm aware, the first post is kept updated with any major changes. The main one for 2017 is that quick service meals will no longer include a dessert, but the snacks increase from 1 to 2.

Hi, we are just beginning to look at planning a trip for October 2018. We are thinking of staying at PO so will have QSDP. If it doesn't change from 2017, this means we will get 2 QS Meals (mains and soft drink/hot drink BUT NO dessert now) but instead of 1 snack credit per day, we get 2, is that correct?
So if we get a dessert with our dinner it will be one meal credit PLUS a snack credit?
We stayed at AOA previously so haven't had a dining plan before. In some ways I guess it means an extra snack credit will cover an ice cream or breakfast snack so may be more useful than dessert.

Can anyone help me with this ? Is there a conversion chart with shows how to change CS credits for snack credits and the same with TS credits.

No there isn't. Last year you could get 3 snacks with a QS or TS credit but now they've removed the dessert from QS credits we're not sure how many snacks you'll get. It's also dependent on each location whether they'll do it or not.

As soon as there's feedback from someone who's been and used it this month I'll update the first post.

I'm sure when I looked at the 2017 leaflet a couple of weeks ago it had an * next to QS drink option with a footnote saying this could be subbed for any sc option.

Just looked today (I couldn't get your 1st page link to 2017 leaflet to work?) and there is no * anymore?

Am I dreaming? I swear it was down there in black and white saying you could sub the drink for a sc

hi all - had booked Boat House using 2 credits when im there in july, but looking at menus it looks like you just get a steak so will have to pay for extra (like chips lol) - thinking of cancelling and going for aloha show cat 2 tickets instead (I know food wont be as good but 1/ free beer 2/ includes gratuity)!

what do people think? - I know it's probably comparing chalk with cheese...

The paying for sides thing had put us off The Boathouse. Can't help with any of the dinner shows though.
