GAMING THE MEAL PLAN AT BUSCH GARDENS WILLIAMSBURG - June 2018

- Janet and I tried Busch Gardens Williamsburg's "All Day Dining Deal + Drinks", where you can get a full meal (main, side, and drink) every 90 minutes for $40. In true "dark side" fashion, we decided to see how much value we could squeeze out of it. Safe to say that we were extremely full by the end of the day!
Note that BGW is pretty explicit about sharing being prohibited. But the meals are really too big for one (normal) person, so if you don't share there's going to be a lot of wasted food, even if you only get two or three meals. As a result, I can't see them cracking down on this policy.

This was cool! Never been to either of the Busch parks but hearing that it's a chill vibe puts it on my radar. Seems like a good place to walk around lifted!
Oh yeah, super chill, and a nice place to just walk around even if you don't do the coasters. They kept a lot of the surrounding nature in the park, and a river even runs through the middle of it!
Thank you for the video.
I'm planning to go by end of Sept/19 and this helped a lot.
They already raised the plan to $45.
Light eaters like us won't benefit from the plan, especially if they have a refill drink for the day.
Thank you a lot.
You're very welcome! $45 still seems pretty reasonable.
Hey thanks your the 1st channel ive seen that talks about pricing which is a big help. 👍
You're very welcome!
I always love your theme park vids, cheers buddy
Thanks, Mark!
When I was a kid, they used to have a restaurant there that was open soon as the park opened, it sold these huge Belgium waffles! Oh man they were so good. And you could get sausage, eggs, coffee, etc.. I was so bummed when I came back one year in the morning and it wasn’t there anymore! 😰
That sounds great! Bummer that they got rid of it. Luckily there are still a ton of great food options there.
Last time I checked squires grill in England serves breakfast before the other restaurants open.
Good tip!
.40 beer WIN! you're going to be clogged up with all that cheese. I could definitely do this meal plan. Thanks for the tip. Sharing is caring.
You're very welcome, David!
Sharing a Meal plan when you’re not supposed to!! *gasp* For Shame on you!
😎😛
My husband and I are really excited to go visit during Labor Day. Great video as always. It will be my first time and his 4th. His favorite ride from there isn’t there anymore: The Big Bad Wolf.
Oooh, your first time! You'll love it. It's like World Showcase with coasters. And Verbolten is one of the better coasters out there, for sure.
You had me at $0.40 beer lol. The food looked pretty good. It seems like a good deal especially if you share.
Oh yeah, the food is great at the park - much higher quality than Six Flags. In fact, I'd say it's as good if not better than most Disney Quick/Counter Service.
@@DarkSideOfDisney < sorry i strongly have to disagree with that statement, Disney has the best food in any park I've been to.. I go to Disney almost every year since 1997, they have made lots of improvements over the years but even than i have never gotten a bad meal from Disney.
@@Rustykatzz3 I've been to both and Busch gardens food is awesome probably comparable to most Epcot sit down locations
Kalico Kinsey!! You need to upload more bro
Thanks, Robb! Got a little burned out, so deliberately dialed it back a bit. Also dating again, which is taking up a ton of time (and money)! Love keeping up on your amazing videos, though. They keep getting better and better!
The Dark Side of Disney yeah, sometimes it gets to be a lot man, but thanks for watching and thanks for the compliment, it means a lot. This is one of the first channels I subscribe to and I will always be a fan of it and yours dude!
I agree about Verbolten and definitely too bad about Darkastle. Idk if i could eat that much on a hot day. Maybe just a few rounds of poutine. It seemed like a good deal, though. You stayed chill in your hat.
I'm still bummed about Darkastle. Damn shame.
Out of curiosity, how were the crowds? I see the date of the video was June but, I'd venture a guess summer crowds are summer crowds regardless. It's a little over 5 hours away from me but I'm playing with the idea of a weekend trip.
We didn't really wait in any lines, but then again we were there on a weekday. I'd definitely recommend spending a night or two - it's a full day park, for sure, and Colonial Williamsburg is around the corner and well worth visiting.
Thanks bunches! I vividly remember visiting Colonial Williamsburg as a kid. I had forgotten it was just a stones throw from the park... I wonder if my son would enjoy it as much as I did as a kid? Funny how different his perspectives are in this Video Game, CZcams and Internet age. :)
They have a lot of fun activities there - it's definitely worth a day.
I think that Busch Gardens should switch to Pepsi since their main competitor in VA already serves Coke.
Ooooh!
How much is admission these days? ( I havent been since the 80s)
I think it was around $60. Not too bad.
It is possible to share the food?
Do you have to eat inside the restaurant or can you take the food out with you?
You can do whatever you want with it - we definitely shared a bunch.
It’s a good thing to share for 2 people.
can't share... :(
I’ve done it. You just grab the food and walk away and share. You just order as one person.
Yep, works out perfectly. Too much food for one person.
I always look forward to your review videos. Could we can count on a no b. S. Truth. I watched another video where SeaWorld is having a similar promotion. And they did a similar things what you guys did. Apparently they don't have an issue with people sharing the meals?
Glad you enjoy the videos, Daryl!
Glad we're not the only ones doing this - I think if they want to cut down on sharing, they'll have to make the portions less generous!
No doubt, that was a ton of food
Any specific tips on not getting caught? Or do they just never really check?
They never questioned us about it. Not really sure how they'd enforce it without pissing people off....
You are not doing anything wrong. The plan states a full meal every ninety minutes. Eat to your heart's content. They make their money on the averages. Enjoy.
Busch Gardens is owned by Seaworld now, which is why they're willing to stock non Inbev beer in their beer garden.
Sea World and Busch Gardens have been the same company for decades!! The difference is that InBev sold off that parks when they bought Anheuser-Busch.
Superb 👍😍💖😆👊☀️🥳😄😀😀😀
Thanks 🤗
What’s up Leonard?! Here’s a super fun video about trace remains of the og Busch Gardens Los Angeles still existing in a rad neighborhood!

How are you not dying? I'm doing my honeymoon at WDW and look forward to reading your book on the plane. But not putting any of it into practice. I'm too old for that shit. But in my 20's I would have given it a whirl.
Enjoy your honeymoon! And yeah, I did all the dumb shit so nobody else has to. Hope you enjoy the book!
@@DarkSideOfDisney So still looking forward to the Honeymoon. But just got back from a Disney Cruise. Was hammered the whole time on smuggled alcohol. Fuck their 11 dollar drinks.
Lol this meal plan is kind of inherently ridiculous. Who goes to a theme park with the mindset of planning to eat 8 full meals in one day??
Well, yeah, exactly. If everyone did this, they'd be out of business. Most people would get 2-3 meals, which is about the break-even point. In that case it works out well for them and for Busch Gardens. I'm sure BG hates people like us getting this plan!
