Is the Meal Deal a good price. Did you get your money's worth?

We are staying for 5 days and I thought about doing it for a day or two but I don't know if we would use it. I tried to search but search will not work for me.

That depends on what and how much you eat. We purchased it last month for adults and teenagers. The cost is around $23 to eat at both parks in one day. Your choices of meals range from burgers to salads and pasta. If you like those types of meals, and eat a few times in the day, it may be worth it. If purchased without the meal deal, those meals would be around $8-so to get your money's worth, you would have to eat at least three meals. You can only choose from three restaurants in each park. I felt that it was great for the teens, but i probably wouldn't get it again for myself. I wanted a little more variety (and since i had already purchased the meal deal, i wouldn't pay out of pocket to eat at any of the other restaurants - even though i wanted to).

We just did the meal deal last week and we decided it didn't work for us. We ate at 11:30 and again at 5:30. We bought the one park deal for 19.99 each plus the cups for 7.99. To have a "deal" or a least break even, we had to eat again The childrens meal deal isn't very good. It's not even what they list as a childrens meal. One of the restaurants would let her have 1/2 of a childs pizza or one chicken leg and mashed potatoes. The good thing is that she could go through the line as many times as she wanted - provided she wanted to wait in line another 20 min. Another good thing is that we were told that we could use the cup again the next day if we bought the meal deal ( we did not) or you could use the cup without MD and fill it for 1.49. There are 4 restaurants at IOA and 5 at US. I can tell you what they are if you would like me to.
