An Inside Look At Universal Orlando's Dining Plans

Picture
The Universal Orlando Dining Plan is accepted at over 100 locations throughout all three parks, as well as CityWalk and can be added to your vacation package or purchased as a stand alone. The Universal Dining Plan options are different from the dining plans you may be familiar with over at Walt Disney World. Most of the differences are for the better including the ability to save up to 25%, however if you are looking to do a lot of dining in the actual resort itself, this could pose a problem since the plans are not currently offered in Universal Orlando Resort hotels. 

WHAT TYPE OF DINING PLANS ARE OFFERED?
UNIVERSAL DINING PLAN: This plan is only available with the purchase of a Universal Orlando vacation package. What's included?

One of the benefits of a Universal Orlando Dining Plan is the flexibility of how they can be purchased. Unlike Walt Disney World, your whole traveling party does not have to have ​to actually participate in the dining plan. This is extremely helpful for those who have little ones who do not eat enough to warrant purchasing a plan for them or for those with finicky eaters. The other great aspect of the plan is you can also tailor the amount of days that seem appropriate for your vacation. So if you are flying in late your first arrival date and leaving super early your departure date you can skip purchasing the plan for those days if you are on a budget. This is very different than a Walt Disney World dining plan where it is cut and dry and you must have it for the length of your stay. 

During a recent stay we utilized the Quick Service plan and really felt it was a great value for us. While having lunch at Mel's Dinner (which is themed after the classic 1950's themed movie American Graffiti) a team member gave us a great tip to order a Combo which was more bang for your buck and would come with your burger, chicken tenders, or sandwich, a side of fries or onion rings, a milkshake and a beverage. Since we had the milkshake we ordered water bottles as the beverage that came with the meal for later on in the day and still even had yet another beverage left on the plan to utilize later in the day as well. We also loved that we could use a snack for signature drinks like Pumpkin Juice and Butterbeer. 

​Another huge value we found if you are a Harry Potter fan was having breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron which is also a Quick Service experience. Below you will see the Pancake Breakfast that includes three fluffy buttermilk pancakes, crisp bacon and link sausage with butter croissant and a small beverage as well as the Traditional Breakfast that includes fresh scrambled eggs, sausage links, black pudding, English bacon, baked beans, grilled tomato, sautéed mushrooms and breakfast potatoes with a small beverage as well. There was so much food for a Quick Service meal and after pricing everything out we saved at least 15% savings that day utilizing the dining plan and were super full when we left!
