Will I be able to use any of the Disney Dining Plan snack credits to try some of the dishes?

Yes, many are snacks. They will be clearly marked on www.characterlocator.com Epcot Menus when the event starts. I'll add prices that day as well.

Sounds great! Is there any word on whether the 'Find Remy' game will be back? My DD and I really enjoyed that last year!
