On my plate are ribs, a chicken quarter (white meat), ear of corn, and rather than potatoes I ordered rice &amp; beans.

Also as you use your entitlements your receipt will show what remains. \u00a0Its pretty simple. \u00a0If you plan ahead with your food you can come out ahead, or just eat what you like and not worry about parting with cash&#8211;which would be a great idea if you have teens on their own. \u00a0 I will buy this again if I&#8217;m planning on a quick service lunch. \u00a0What I really like about the Universal Dining Plan is that there is NO DESSERT with the quick service entree: \u00a0they give you a separate drink later on. \u00a0In a theme park there&#8217;s no shortage of junk food and where you end up spending money later on is with beverages. \u00a0Universal seems to have thought about how the typical guest spends their money on food and gave us an extra drink which is really necessary in the hot summer months. \u00a0In cooler months its not such a big deal but its pretty easy to take a bottled beverage &#8216;to go.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoyed the Meal Deal for its copious amounts of food you are not going to be happy with this change. \u00a0I did not like the menu options or locations with the old Meal Deal so I never bought it. \u00a0I do see myself buying this new plan on future park visits though because it is flexible and can be used in both parks.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6669\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6669\" style=\"width:
