2018 Disney Dining Plan Prices & General Discussion

[just another guy]

That is what I'm hoping to hear... I'd love a POG mimosa with breakfast at Cape May!

Funny you say that. That's one issue I've read online. Plenty of restaurants don't have a morning bartender. The manager on duty would make the small number of alcoholic drinks that are ordered. If that increases greatly... well time will tell what happens. It seems higher ups didn't think that part of this whole new dining plan through very well.

I'd love an update on buffets - has anyone gotten an alcoholic drink with their lunch or dinner when the restaurant does serve alcohol? Specifically like 1900 Park Fare or Tusker House?

 

[Pumbaa_]

Yes

That’s just the itemized receipt. It doesn’t show that the dining plan actually covered the cost of those drinks.

Great news!

My neighbor is a manager at one of the TS restaurants, and told me the light up clips weren’t included. That was last week, so perhaps it changed - I can ask her if I see her today.

 

[ThistleMae]

So, do we get a drink with CS and TS? Or do we just get one a day?

Each meal includes a beverage entitlement

Oh, okay great! Then the kids can get a milkshake or just soft drinks?

I'm sorry - does this mean that the drinks were included or not included? I can't tell what you ended up paying at the end - sorry if I'm being an idiot! We're new to the DP entirely!

Yes, let us know

Oohhh... I wonder if the Pina Colava at Ohana is covered...Oh and the milkshakes with alcohol in them at Sci Fi

99.9%, I'm saying yes to both. Any alcoholic drinks in the restaurant's drink menu is covered minus flights because they are so labor intensive. A price limit has been posted, showing one restaurant set the wine price limit at $21 I believe.

The $21 limit was a signature restaurant. I believe I saw $16 for regular restaurants.

Dumb question: why is a flight labor intensive? I don't drink wine so have no idea LOL.

I takes more time to pour a flight than a single glass of wine/beer.

Seems like it would still be way less time than making a cocktail with multiple ingredients, shaking, etc. I would think it would be more of a price issue than a labor issue for the flights.

Cocktails are more labor intensive than a simple wine pour for sure. In general, though, everywhere (not just Disney), do I ever see promos on Flights. More glassware to clean, more items to pour, and awkward for servers to carry.. definitely not shocking to see that they are not included in the DDP.

Did we get clarification if the kids/adult credits are still pooled or separated?

One report from someone there now. They have the Dxddp and credits are still pooled.
