It sounds like you got a great deal, OP.
I might consider this for a future trip to try it out.

When sharing information from outside websites, make sure you aren't mentioning one that has been restricted from this website. Some posts will need to be deleted if a restricted company is mentioned. Thank you.
I wish there was a listing of restricted websites but there isn't. The only way to tell is when your post is deleted or modified. There is a website that is commonly mentioned on this side of the DIS and any references to that site are prohibited...there are reasons the site is not allowed to be referenced.Just for future reference but how would someone know which website is restricted!? Thanks!
I just do not understand how this is a good deal for anyone who likes to eat. They have taken a plan that gave unlimited food and replaced it with 1 meal for nearly the same price.
Snacks are just fillers, ok big deal you get a popcorn, 10 minutes later you are hungry and want a MEAL.
Just not good for our family at all.
I would have easily lost money on the old deal. It just wasn't possible for me to eat enough. With this being able to be shared, it makes a huge difference too. If we do the chicken/ribs at FJ, we're at 13.50. Add in a drink with that and we're at 16.00/16.50. Add in an additional drink during the day and we're at 18.50/19.00. Then there's two more snacks we get on top of that - and frozen butterbeer counts for a snack. We won't be using this deal every day, as we often rely on drinks and snacks brought into the parks. But we'll likely use it our first IOA day when we go to Three Broomsticks. Two chicken/ribs dishes plus one kids meal is plenty to feed the 5 of us. We don't usually buy a lot of snacks in the parks, but do indulge in frozen butterbeer - so this plan will save us a lot on that day.I just do not understand how this is a good deal for anyone who likes to eat.

This is a 1 day, pre-paid dining plan. Only good on the day any credit is first used. It would be nice to think that you could accumulate unredeemed snacks and drinks from several days and use them in the future, but no.
I'm 1) Do theses work on Multiple days? Were going for 4 Nights/5 days in Jan. 2 adults; 3 kids 13-10-8 and was thinking of getting dining for 3 days; so if I am reading your update correct that would allow us to use more than the 3 days i 2) How were the portions? specifically the kids, I'm wondering if my 13 yr old will need an adult one, 3) were there many choices at the dinner places or was it a restricted menu? Thanks in advance.
I just did the new dining plan today. At first, I thought I wouldn't need it however, given its price it was an awesome deal. It's currently priced at $18.99 plus tax for adults and gives you one quick service meal (with drink), two snacks and an additional beverage. So, out of this deal I got:
Rib platter at 3 Broomsticks (14.99) plus Apple Cider (I think 2.99 - forgot to check)
Frozen Butterbeer as snack (4.29)
Death by Chocolate cake (5.29)
Diet Coke (2.99)
(all prices plus tax...)
Now do the math and check how much that all adds up to! Universal is doing a great job though first asking you what quick service meal you want and then suggesting to get the meal plan because overall it might be cheaper
Just thought I'd share this with you guys since I haven't seen a post yet.
So Three Broomsticks IS included, right? And this plan can be purchased in advance OR at the park?
