I was planning on doing the dining plan for our family at SW but I just read that breakfast is not included. I'm not sure if it is worth it then for us. Can you drink water all day long with it? I guess I'm just not sure I understand the plan. Can someone walk me through it?
Also, same question regarding Aquatica. TIA!!
Yes, water bottles are included on the Seaworld all day dining plan. You can get a fresh bottle of water all day long, each time you go through the line. In fact, you can get one drink, one entree, and one side (or any combination of those....for example, just a drink and a side if you don't want an entree) each time through the line. It is also worth noting that a side is not always dessert....in addition to cookies, cake, pudding cups, etc. you can get huge pickles, fries, small salads, various types of fruit (grapes, watermelon, strawberries, citrus) as you side entitlements. Entrees vary at each location, but we have enjoyed brisket, chicken tenders, wraps, pasta and chicken, turkey bread bowls, fish and chips, barbecued chicken platters, large salads, pizza, and more.
I don't have a ton of pics of SW food, but here's a few (all items entitlements on the dining plan):
Aquatica's all day dining is a different beast. Its hosted at the Banana Beach Buffet, and as the name indicates, its a buffet restaurant so the offerings are more limited and pretty consistent from visit to visit. Pasta and sauce, pizza slices, hot dogs, chicken legs, salads, pulled pork, garlic buns, strawberry shortcake, etc. You can only eat within the boundaries of the buffet....no taking food back to your beach chair or cabana (fountain drinks are the only exception to this rule). But, you can return as many times as you wish and eat as much or as little as you want. They give you a wrist band to indicate you are a dining plan participant, just like at SW.
Here's the type of food you'll get at Aquatica with the all day buffet:
