Universal Dining Plan
Hi there, as anyone used any of the Universal dining plans and are they worth the money?
Trying to consider if it’s a worthwhile option or not, or is it better to just pay as you go so to speak. |

We’ve used the quick service version a few times. It doesn’t really save you money but it’s handy if you like to buy things in advance which I do. They are non expiry. I have credits left over which I can use next time. The table service dining plan I believe can only be purchased if staying at a Universal hotel that you’ve booked through Universal. I have pics of the quick service plan in my food reports in my signature below.

Thank for that, very useful. It is nice to pay in advance as you say and spread the cost of the holiday

We’ve used the quick service one and have previously managed to get it but one get one half price with our Annual Passes. That was obviously good value however the normal price isn’t really unless you buy from the most expensive places, mainly the Harry Potter restaurants where food is expensive.
We’re not huge fans of Universal quick service though and tend to pop out to Citywalk for lunch. |

One thing to note. You can’t use the dining plan to place a mobile order which is a shame.

I priced it up and unless everyone ordeed the most expensive items then it wasnt value for money for us, instead im getting an annaul pass and using that discount instead.

One way of saving money if you have kids with you is buy the kids plan which includes the freestyle drink. Found it better value for money than paying separately.
Its much harder to win on the adults plan but it is possible if you buy the most expensive stuff. |

We only get it when it’s on offer with annual passes.
Otherwise you’re better to calculate the cost of the meal you’re buying and buy the plan at the till first if it’s worthwhile. I think this only really applies to the HP restaurants. There’s a guide online somewhere with costs that shows which locations have meals that make it cost effective. |

I didn’t know you could get AP discount on the dining plans sometimes. Sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone have an idea of when in the year they do this offer (or is it random) and how you find out about it?
