Everything You Need to Know About All-Day Dining
What is All-Day Dining?
For one low price, any member of your frog squad can eat and drink as often as once every 90 minutes at participating restaurants. That means adults can order an entree, a soft beverage or iced tea — and one side or dessert and tadpoles (ages 3 to 9) can order a kids meal — every hour and a half! All-Day Dining isn't valid with any souvenir products (with the exception of kids' meals) or alcoholic beverages. Additionally, sharing (with the exception of tadpoles 2 and under) and take-out are both prohibited. All you need to do is show your wristband to the cashier and have them scan it!
SeaWorld Orlando does, however, offer souvenir cups that come with unlimited refills on the day of purchase. The pricing is tiered: $19.99 for one, $17.99 each for two or $15.99 each for three. For returning visits, refills cost just $1.99 per cup throughout the season. You can also upgrade the All-Day Dining deal to include a souvenir cup at a discounted rate. During our visit, the upgrade cost was $6.99 and included all-day refills.

All-Day Dining Price
How much is All-Day Dining?
Save some green with Undercover Tourist! We offer an adult All-Day Dining deal for $42.59 and a tadpole All-Day Dining deal (for kids 3 to 9) for $21.29 if you'd like to add it on. Or, you can purchase a ticket with All-Day Dining already included! (That being said, if you decide once you're at the park that you want to go ahead and purchase it, you can still do that! In the park, it is currently priced at $59.99 for adults and $29.99 for children.)
To receive your wristband, take your E-Ticket to one of the convenient Self-Service Kiosks located at the front of the park, any of the participating restaurants or Guest Services just beyond the turnstiles. Be sure to leave your wristband on your wrist all day as a lost wristband won't be replaced and a broken wristband won't be accepted. If you solely purchase All-Day Dining as an add-on, note that valid park admission is also required.
Do other SeaWorld Parks offer All-Day Dining?

Is All-Day Dining worth it?
If you plan on sitting down and eating more than one meal while you're at SeaWorld for the day, it pays for itself! From the Mexican-inspired cuisine at Lakeside Grill and Amazon flavors at Waterway Grill to the classic American Bar-B-Que at Voyager's Smokehouse and Nathan's Famous dogs at Captain Pete's, there's truly something for every froggy palette. On our last trip, just some of the items we indulged in were the cheese pizza and garlic knots at Dockside Pizza and the Chicken Tender Tower, cheese sticks with marinara and chocolate cake at Seafire Grill. Yum!
The one caveat is that event booths aren't included, so if you're going to be at SeaWorld during the Seven Seas Food Festival or Christmas Celebration and solely plan to fill up on festival food, then the All-Day Dining Deal isn't necessary. However, if you just want to snack at the booths on top of having full meals at the restaurants, then definitely go for it!
SeaWorld Orlando All-Day Dining Tips
Are there allergy-friendly menus? Are Kosher meals available?
If you have food allergies, request to speak with a supervisor at any restaurant to give them the details about your allergens. They'll be hoppy to make sure your meal is free from any cross-contamination. Kosher meals are available upon request. You can also make a stop at Guest Services and speak with a staff member about your specific needs.
Can I get breakfast using the All-Day Dining Deal?
Yes, and you should! To get the most out of the deal, you'll want to start as early as possible. Seafire Grill is the only participating restaurant that serves breakfast. Breakfast is available until about 11 a.m. Also, set your timer! That way, you'll remember when it's time to grab another meal!
Can I use mobile order with All-Day Dining?
Mobile order is not available with All-Day Dining. You'll have to go into the restaurant, order your meal and have your wristband scanned at the register.
Any more tips?
Another hop tip is to plan the order of the restaurants you'll visit based on their proximity to other park rides and attractions you plan to hit up. On our last trip, we had lunch at Expedition Café after plunging down on Journey to Atlantis and before cooling down at Penguin Trek. (It was a whopping 93 degrees that day!) We then grabbed dinner at Seafire Grill after conquering Ice Breaker and before heading out for the day.
