My family LOVES amusement parks and we just happen to live close to Kings Island Amusement Park which means that we can have fun all summer long as a family. Last year we purchased a Gold Season Pass and had a such a great time that we decided to continue the memory making again this year. Purchasing a Gold Season Pass made us face the decision again of whether we wanted to pay extra for the All Season Dining Plan.
I did have some reservations about buying the dining plan because of the cost, but I’m finding the option to be extremely convenient.
1. You can pay for you Gold Season Pass with the All Season Dining over six months in 6 payments.
This makes it easier on the budget without paying interest.
2. I don’t have to meal plan before we go anymore.
In the past we would either eat before our visit at home, get fast food on the way there, or leave the park to eat and come back. My boys are always instantly hungry as soon as we enter the park reguardless of if they have just eaten before. Having our meals covered makes life easier.
3. There are menu/ restaurant options that everyone can be happy from.
There are even healthy and gluten free options.
4. You can get two meals each time you visit with your All Season dining pass.
Your meals have to be 4 hours a part. I would suggest either taking a picture of your food or setting an alarm on your phone to remember what time you ate last. Your pass will not work if you try to eat earlier than the 4 hour window.
5. The waterpark has restaurant options on the plan too.
That means that you can just enjoy the waterpark and don’t have to go to the other side of the park if you don’t want to.
6. You don’t have to pay extra out of pocket if you don’t want to.
The value of each meal is around $15 and is very filling. The pass pays for itself after a few visits. Drinks are not included in the pass but you can purchase a refillable bottle if you prefer to drink soft drinks.
7. You don’t have to cook.
This makes me and my family happy. Your hardest decision will be deciding what you want to eat and which restaurant that you want to eat if from. There is also a sit down restaurant on the dining options as well.
We’ve only visited the park a few times so far and I am so glad that we made the decision to purchase the All Season Dining Plan this year.

How much is the all-season dining pass? And how much is the average meal? Just curious!
I wish I still lived near Kings Island. It’s a great park!
We are a fam of 5. We purchased 2 all season dining meal passes. I have found that it’s so much food that we can easily split two meals between the 4 of us that usually go. My husband is usually working. I am contemplating buying another one but haven’t decided on that yet. Will do bf we go again. I have been impressed w the food options. I did tip at Montgomery inn bc you are served there so there is that added cost. I like the refillable bottles. I let them get pop once and then they refill w water the rest of the day. I LOVE the specially designed water fountains that are perfect for water bottle filling.
The dining plans are a great way to save money for a family when visiting any of the Cedar Fair parks, and Kings Island provides some great meal options. Nice writeup!
Your receipt is time stamped so you’ll know when it’s been four hours.
Are their any restrictions on the food you can get? Can we get a snack/funnel cake with this meal plan?
There are specific restaurants/concessions on the stands throughout the park. Unfortunately, funnel cakes are not on the dining plan. I wish they were!
How much are their meal plans? I’m seriously considering getting the gold pass this year for my son and I, but I can’t find season long meal plan info on Kings Island’s website.
Here is the link https://www.visitkingsisland.com/ticket-category/Meal-Deals $111. If you go several times a season it will pay for itself. We eat two meals every time that we visit.
They’re not on the plan but you do get a discount on them with a gold pass
Is there a list of restaurants somewhere? My girls like Auntie Annes and Tom and Chee.
The website says the restaurants are subject to change. We’ve had the all season dining plan over the past few years and I’ve never seen those restaurants as an option. They typically will have a flyer with a list when you first walk in the park. Chic Fil A was a more recent addition that we really enjoyed last year. I also like the Chicken Shack.
