We're doing 5 signatures over 20 nights, the other 5 evenings we can use QS as we had a glut of them left last time and tend to share 2/3 between 4 of us. We also had SC's left and that was when only had 1 each! Think I'll be partaking of a Starbucks here and there as well as working through my (ever growing) list of things to try

Indeed, there's ways to use it. But seems to make more sense for the American market were a stay or 3-5 days is more typical perhaps.

If we have any credits left, I'm going to try and use them to pay it forward for someone else. Holidays can be so expensive and we've scrimped and saved ourselves, so I like the idea of surprising someone. I started a thread about paying it forward before and got some good ideas! That said, we might not have any left at the end of it all

Hiya,

Never had a problem using ours up, though we have only done it twice, I must admit we found ourselves planing our days around the dining, but as we've done parks numerous times before it didn't really bother us, just us 2 adults next year and we doing deluxe dining for 1st time and again our meals will dictate our park visits, but looking forward to doing it as only 7 out of 16 nights are on site.

Nick

Already commented but as far as I'm concerned its just a little bit of mental arithmetic.

At the start of a trip I'd avoid wasting mine on drinks etc as its not "good value. It doesn't take much to look at a receipt and divide the number of snacks by days remaining to know if you can/should start using snacks for drink or other low value items. Last trip we knew we were falling behind as we went from needing to use 8 snacks per day to 10, and a couple of days later is was 12.

The last think I'm interested in is bringing back 30 packs of goofy candy at the end of an indulgent holiday.

We used to do that with QS credits. We'd start using them for breakfast towards the end. This year we used the snack credits for anything that qualified right from the start as, like you, the thought of wasting them on Goofy candy did not fill me with joy!

I agree, we will be on the ddp for the first time next October and I would prefer to use spare credits on drinks towards the second part of the holiday if they seem to be mounting up than bringing home lots of sweets.
However as we will be there for the food and drink festival, I think lots of our spare credits will be used there.
