Welcome to our interview series where bloggers share their insights on dining when at Cedar Point! Shelley, the Assistant to the President from CP Rundown, recently visited Cedar Point, so we asked her to write us a review on their dining experience.
1) When was the last time you visited the park? Last week
2) Who do you typically visit the park with? Friends, family or by myself, I am not picky!
3) Do you bring any food/drink into the park? I do not. I have the meal plan and a souvenir cup.
4) Do you take part in any of the meal plans (single, all-day, or all-season)? Yes, the all-season plan.
4a) If you did, what were the pros and cons? There are many pros to the all season dining plan. It has been a cost savings to me. Since I know I can eat “free,” I visit the park more often. There is a wide variety of options listed on the plan, and they seem to be expanding and changing options, so I have not gotten bored. I especially enjoyed the addition of Midway Market on the plan (Editor Note: Midway Market is no longer available on the all-day or all-season plans)! I also appreciate the addition of the turkey dog and burger recently. The cons of the meal plan, is while they offer substitutions for fries, I have found them not to be available when I ask. I wish they would add something sweet to the plan. Maybe, a funnel cake or elephant ear! I REALLY wish they had a plan where drinks are included.
5) What is your must have food when visiting the park? At least once a season, I must have the garlic Parmesan fries, an elephant ear and cheese-on-a-stick!
6) Are there any food items you would not eat again and why? I can not say there are any food items I would not try again. I have had two negative experiences at Grist Mill with soggy pizza this year, so it is worth it to me to make the trek to the front of the park.
7) Do you/your family have any money saving tips for eating in the park? Ask for free water! Buy the meal plan…many of the portions are big enough to share.
8) What is one thing you would request to make your dining experience better? Increase the number of healthy options in the park.
9) On average, how much do you spend to eat per visit? I would say $5-10 including beverages. Normally, I just eat off the meal plan and occasionally purchase a beverage or snack.
10) Are there any other theme/amusement parks food items that you would like to see at Cedar Point? Fried Oreos
