    Busch Gardens looks so fun - but think I’d skip the meal deal too! I’m like you - always have leftovers. Busch Gardens is special to me because I had my HS prom at the Busch Gardens in CA. It was so pretty at night. Sweet memories. The interlocking loop roller coaster would be so fun to ride! 🎢🎢🎢 What a fun train ride.🚂💨 Trappers looks yummy! Thank you for the wonderful and interesting video - they’re always so fun to watch! Happy Wednesday! 🤗🌹👍🏼💯

    This video was really informative, especially for planning a Busch Gardens trip! The new Loch Ness Monster looks awesome.😊 We loved seeing the Summer of Wonder decorations, even if they weren't all finished yet. It sounds like the fries at Le Fritz are the hidden gem! Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts about the all-day dining deal. It's definitely something to consider, especially for bigger appetites. Looking forward to your next video! - Sorin

    Every 90 minutes is amazing, so fun to have to time your meals, not that I could eat that often, but I would try if I had the dining deal! Looks like a great deal!

    A full day of dining for $70 is definitely worth it if you're a big eater. Marco's is probably the best out of these eateries. 👍👍

    The ride clips are spectacular although some are way too extreme for myself. The guys would love them. I often wonder if the dining deals are really worth it. I tend to snack more than eat regular meals. Too much food and I'm ready for a nap so I lose the day. 😂

    Awesome video! We did the all day dining deal at SeaWorld a few years ago. It was such a waste. Their food was abysmal, and I agree, waiting in line for food really subtracts from the overall experience. I have never wanted to get it again since that experience. It was interesting to get your takes on the various food options you tried. Some of the food looked much better than I expected. The burger was a brave move. I've had 1 burger from a theme park that I actually enjoyed. It was a burger from Universal's HHN last year, which I will likely never be able to get again. I think it was called "Blood Burger?" The all.day dining deal changes the course of your day if you plan to get your money's worth. I would much rather get something before I get to the park, and find a restaurant for after we leave. Maybe get something to share at the park, but we are not fans of theme park food at all.

    Thanks for sharing the different dining options! We visited back in 2022 and got the all day dining deal, though we ended up splitting our food which seemed to be enough for us to share. I'm glad to hear that Loch Ness is smooth now. We rode it back in 2022 and it gave us a little bit of a headache. ~Jonathan

    You certainly know how to entice me to go to Busch Gardens - the FOOD!! This deal is definitely up my alley .. for science LOL. You know we love food! Great job Jack taking one for the team for this experiment lol. The beef at Marco Polos Marketplace looks really good. Nice that was your favorite! Love the creative name "German Pretzels and Beer" lol. I love a good pretzel. Greg would enjoy the corned beef and sauerkraut. I would love fried pickles. Too bad the pizza was just alright. Too bad it's confusing about what's a side and what doesn't count. Too bad the Squires grill wasn't great. Greg would love the smokehouse. Great info Jack & Alice. Really great to see how this deal works!

German Pretzels and Beer? Yes please! Oh my, I'm getting so hungry! I love Bratwurst & sourkrout! Reminds me of visiting my grandpa when I was little who was German!

    I was wondering if there was a work around s where you could share your meals. It makes sense that you can’t though, there would be a lot of folks doing that. Even at that, the price tag isn’t bad at all considering you can get a meal every 90 minutes! Very Interesting concept!

    Well... this will just be a secret between you and me - I am pretty sure people are sharing meals with their families. I think if someone started dividing up their dining plan meals with other people right in front of the workers they were buying it from, they would be in trouble for sharing. But we saw no infrastructure by park staff to catch people sharing. People often go sit a good distance away from where they get the food due to table scarcity and no one is following them around to see who eats the food. So we didn't share Jack's meal plan food - but with no sharing policy enforcement... I would imagine some percentage of families are sharing the meals throughout the day which makes this an even better deal than the park intends. Anyway, don't tell anyone. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    We’ve done that deal a few times at there as well as BGT and SWO, but we go back and forth on whether it was a good deal for us. It wouldn’t be now for me due to food allergies. Really appreciate your input and feedback on this video.

    Yeah, it would be an extreme waste of money for me to buy the All Day Dining Deal. But Jack liked most of the food he tried. It is good that they have some sort of prepaid dining deal. I think they should probably sell a family version where couples or families can share - maybe get food for more than one person but less often throughout the day. I don't know. But anyway it was interesting to see what it was like. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Loved the theme Italian Festa and Italy sections of the park. Thats a lot of food to eat every 90minutes. They value sound better if you get the deal. Even if you had two 90 meals you have gotten your value. Great rides. Love how they name the rides with an Italian and german title. OMG everything is Pretzel. The German food looked great Alice and Jack. Great entertainment at the Fest House. The Art looked great. The Duke Box experience sounds like a fun show. Looks like the burger, fries and cup cake failed! The French section and dining sounds great Le Fritz was a thumbs up! Sounds like an expensive day out, not to mention the fee to enter the park. I am with you Jack, I would only need one meal during the day. Sometimes our eyes are bigger than our stomachs. Thank you Alice and Jack for taking us along. Happy 4th of July. 🙏🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🤠

    I have always thought the way this country is themed to European countries is lovely. This really is a good deal for anyone wanting to eat two or more times in a park day - as long as they choose more expensive entrees. And if you are going to eat more than two times, it is a great deal. But as poor Jack learned, it doesn't really feel good to walk around a theme park in the hot sun feeling full. But we still managed to have a fun day checking out the food and the new summer celebration. Thanks so much for watching - and for taking the time to leave a comment. We had a great 4th of July. Hope you and Peter are doing very well too!

    I've done the dining deal at Kings Dominion before. I felt like it ended up being more of a hastle. I don't like wasting my time eating. lol It's definitely a better deal for us to just buy a meal and not do the all day dining. Did you have to wait long in line for food? I remember liking the food at Trappers. Thanks for sharing!

    The bracelet has a bar code on it that they scan at the register each time you get a meal. It shows the person at the register when you last ate. I imagine if you arrived too early, they would likely make you wait to proceed out of the restaurant with another meal. Thanks so much for watching!

    Hmmmm…..not sure we could eat every 90 minutes either. It may save money though because the food in the park is so expensive.
