Final Thoughts

So after 88 snacks and meals we are home!

This was our first visit to Disney World in 20 years and wanted to try as much as we could. We were on the free dining QSDP and feel it suited us perfectly. There is so much variety and we were never stuck for new things to try - in fact there were still a lot more restaurants / snacks we wanted to try but just didnt get round to!

We also preferred that we didnt need to have reservations to eat - there is just so much food on this plan that we often found ourselves not hungry at the normal mealtimes - hence using the POR food court a lot more than we thought we would. I would really recommend the POR food court, so many options and the refillable mugs means your credits can stretch further.

We arent big drinkers so didnt make much use of the alcohol inclusion, but from what I could see, most of the drinks were included (except ones in souvenir glasses). And of course all the leftover credits meant we could put together little goodie bags for family and friends.

Thanks everyone for following along, reading and commenting! I've enjoyed doing my little update every evening. So much so that we're now looking at free dining again for 2019

Yes in the store we asked a store assistant and they confirmed it was $6.18 value per credit (more or less). The cashier seemed to know all about this too so it was very simple. The ice cream shop I'm not sure if it works there, as we didn't try.

You can get 1 scoop of ice-cream cone or tub for a snack.
