Many guests don't realise that there are dining plan options available to them when they visit Universal Orlando Resort.

Prices start at $21.99 and include a quick service entree, two non alcoholic drinks and a snack. You can upgrade for an extra $6 to get an unlimited refillable Coca-Cola souvenir cup (the refillable cup can be purchased on its own for $12.99).

If you decide to book a Universal Vacation Package and stay onsite, you can also add a more substantial dining plan which includes a table service meal in addition to your quick service meal.

Before you travel, check out the menus of the restaurants you want to eat at and calculate if the plan is going to be worth it to you.
