Free Dining Credit with Universal Orlando Vacation Packages

Universal Orlando has revealed their best offer ever on four and five-night vacation packages by throwing in hundreds of dollars of free dining credit when guests purchase a Univeral Orlando vacation package. Continue reading for more details and the fine print.

Universal Orland is offering free dining credit for guests who purchase a four- or five-night Universal Orlando vacation package for travel between November 7 and April 10, 2025, including a hotel stay and theme park admission. Your dining credit is assigned on a Food & Beverage card which is picked up from the hotel Vacation Planning desk after check-in. Dining credit depends on your hotel and length of stay:

• Hard Rock Hotel, Portofino Bay, and Royal Pacific
  • 4-Night Stays: $800 credit
  • 5-Night Stays: $1000 credit
• Sapphire Falls & Cabana Bay
  • 4-Night Stays: $500 credit
  • 5-Night Stays: $600 credit
• Aventura,, Stella Nova, & Terra Luna
  • 4-Night Stays: $400 credit
  • 5-Night Stays: $500 credit
• Endless Summer Dockside & Surfside
  • 4-Night Stays: $300 credit
  • 5-Night Stays: $400 credit

Fine print time: Only one food & beverage card per hotel room but there is no minimum number of guests per room.  Suites are not included in the deal except for the 2-bedroom suites at Endless Summer and Family Suites at Cabana Bay. Cannot be combined with other discounts or offers, sorry UOAP holders. Not valid with room service dining, though Mobile Order, at retail locations with food (Tribute Stores, Bake My Day, Honeydukes, etc), at BICE at Portofino Bay hotel, Palm Restaurant at Hard Rock Hotel, or Blondie’s at Islands of Adventure (no we don’t know why that one is singled out).  Book online or by calling 877-801-9720. If you’re looking for a Travel Agent to do the work for you we’re always happy to recommend our friends at Touring and Cruises.

This is a fantastic deal and one we’d recommend jumping on – the average Universal Orlando quick service meal is between $76 and $100 for a family of four, or roughly $200 per day in dining, which is coincidentally the dining credit per day for the Hard Rock, Royal Pacific, and Portofino Bay hotels! The best deal is Cabana Bay’s $100 more in credit over the similarly priced Aventura makes puts it head and shoulders over the other mid-tier priced hotels.
