Advantages of the Disney Meal Plan :

For the Disney portion, we strongly recommend taking a meal plan. Not only does this simplify the management of your food budget, but it also allows you to enjoy the culinary diversity offered at the various restaurants in the Disney parks and hotels. Unfortunately, Universal Orlando Resort doesn’t currently offer a meal plan, but there are plenty of quality fast-food options in their parks.
