Specialty Beverages and Alcohol CONFIRMED for Walt Disney World 2018 Dining Plans

We previously reported a rumor that the Disney Dining Plans would include specialty beverages and alcohol as beverage options.  With the opening of 2018 package reservations today, we have now confirmed this rumor to be true and that the dining plans do in fact include specialty beverages and alcoholic drinks. This option is included in each dining plan for every meal entitlement.  They will be able to make one of the selections for each meal.
