Busch Gardens Tampa: Is it worthwhile getting the meal plan?

[strandlover]

We will be travelling to Orlando in March and are skipping "The Mouse" and will be doing Busch Gardens and Grapefruit League Baseball instead.

I noticed that there is a Busch Gardens meal plan offered for $29.99. With a family of four, including D15 and S12, it seems like a pretty good deal.

Does this include all beverages at concession stands or only in restaurants? What kind of lineups can we expect from March 2 to March 10?

Would love to hear from you. Thanks....

Yes if you plan on eating two meals there. We did it a couple of times ant Busch Gardens Williamsburg and ate at every Restaurant.

thanks

Yes, it is a good deal. Bought one a few years ago when I visited.

If I recall correctly, you could not use the pass (bracelet) at every restaurant, although many places do accept the bracelet. Mine came with a beverage, don't remember if I paid extra for that. I do recall getting a discount with my Busch annual passport.

Thank you very much to both of you for the responses. I will definitely get the meal plan as we intend to stay there all day.

I just bought the tickets to Busch Gardens and paid $64.99 + tax + we get a free admission. Sounds like great value!

It is extra for drinks outside of your dining experience. But they do have a deal on that also and if you're coming while it's still hot you might want to do it for the kids at least and make them share with you.

You can go through the restaurant line a get a drink only. You just cannot get drinks at a kiosk.
