All day dining at busch gardens

[kellycomiskey]

We are heading to busch gardens in may... we plan on staying pretty much all day, is the all day dining worth it or are the restaurant options not good or enough etc?

I've seen a few vlogs on Youtube where they review the different options available. May be useful?!

We did it at SeaWorld in 2017 and really enjoyed it. Plan to do it again next year too.

Food was fine and we got decent value but a lot of places didn’t open til mid morning so if planning on breakfast on arrival your choices will be limited.

one advantage in BG with all day dining is that drinks incl alcoholic ones and snacks are BOGOF we always get the fudge in the gift shop to take away with us 6 pieces for price 4 then another one of same for free

We have done it, having arrived at rope drop and left at around 1800. I would say that we broke even as we didn’t have an evening meal before leaving. I must add however that we probably ate more than we would otherwise have eaten and drunk during the day.

The food was standard park fare, nothing to write home about, but acceptable.

We've done it a couple of times, pretty easy to break even at least. As others have said, it's not amazing but fills a hole.

Doesn't really matter for your trip but if anyone else does it during Halloween and goes to Howl-o-Scream then it's not valid during separate ticketed events which is a bit of a con.

We did three days of dining over Christmas week. SeaWorld all day dine was great - we really enjoyed most of our meals. Especially the smokehouse.

Busch Gardens had insane lines - waited 30-45 mins everywhere. Even for hot dogs. Their staff were super slow. Best meal in the park was the quick service at the front. They had burgers available at opening so we had very good burgers for breakfast. Excellent chicken fingers too. Went back for dinner for another decent meal.

Their BBQ place was awful. We nibbled a bit and didn't bother. Their big food court style place (forget the name) had decent food but had to line up in 3 separate lengthy 20+min queues (thankfully we were able to split up our group for this) and then another 5-10 mins to pay.

Anyone know how strict they are on sharing food. I know it’s against policy but I hear nobody enforced it?!

Will start a new debate I think but I suppose it will depend how obvious you are on sharing, we have shared but usually with kids although have shared with adults on occasion at outside tables never had an issue but also always been discreet
