to buy or not to buy the meal plan!?!

[jlm]

Family of 5 (myself, DH, DD11, DS8, DS5) going to SeaWorld for 1 day. (At disney we are on the dinning plan) I really can't decide if it would be worth it or not? We are not huge eaters....but drink water pretty regularly.
I am assuming we will be eating bkfst at our hotel before heading off to SeaWorld. We will be there on a weekday so hours are 9-7.
Meal plan would be about 130.00 including tax....
Thoughts??
Thanks!

I am also trying to decide if we should get the all day dining for six people, but at Busch Gardens.

We are a family of three and not big eaters. However, we drink lots of water and enjoy snacking rather than huge meals. We recently went to Seaworld and purchased the dining plan, we are passholders so we received 10% discount on top of the lowered rate.

We found the plan to be wonderful for us. Anytime one of us was thristy, we just whipped through a line and grabbed a water or soda. Same for when we were snacky, fresh fruit, cookies, salads. All wonderful. Plus, we enjoyed a very good dinner just before leaving the park at the Voyager's Smokehouse.

We will definitely purchase the plan again when we go back for Christmas. We just found the plan to be very convienent, fast and easy to use. Plus, the food was delicious.

We found it to be worth our money and the food was great.

It worth the money this summer. I think drink water 30 dollars a lone from the meal plan.

The food was excellent.

I am going to Bush Gardens this summer and getting meal plan for everyone.

Do you have to buy the meal plan for everyone???

I think it depends on the lines when you go. I did not like the plan when I used it with my Dd - that is because we had to stand on line with all the people getting lunch even if we only wanted water. It ended up being a HUGE waste of time, and I seriously considered buying our water at the regular vendors to save the wait. Out first time through the lines were awesome and after that frustrating. You stand on line to get up to the beverages and then you stand on line at the registers even though you only show your bracelet once you get there. That said the food and snacks are good. But 1 water per person, per trip through the line. I think we got our money back, but I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. It sounds like others had a better experience though.
