Are Alcoholic Beverages Coming to Disney Dining Plan?; Star Wars Land Pavilion at D23 Expo

Are Alcoholic Beverages Coming to Disney Dining Plan in 2018?:


A rumor has begun circulating that alcoholic beverages could become part of Walt Disney World's Dining Plan in 2018. The new plan will allow guests 1 specialty (non-alcoholic) or alcoholic beverage (if they are over the age of 21).

A single serving non-alcoholic specialty beverage may includes items such as Artisanal Milkshakes, Smoothies, Premium Hot Chocolates, Soda, Coffee, or Tea. A single serving alcoholic beverage might include items such as Beer or Cider, Wine or Sangria, or even Mixed Drinks such as specialty cocktails.

An official announcement is expected sometime this week. With the new entitlement it is expected that the Dining Plan's price will once again rise for 2018. Guests who have already booked trips in 2018 will already get these new entitlements at no extra charge.

A Pavilion Entirely Dedicated to Star Wars Land Coming to D23 Expo:


We are just a few weeks away from D23 Expo 2017. The excitement is just beginning after the 2015 Expo when Star Wars Land was announced. This year Walt Disney Parks & Resorts along with Walt Disney Imagineering will have a whole pavilion dedicated to the new land coming to both Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios.

At the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts pavilion, guests will discover “A Galaxy of Stories,” with an exclusive first-look at some of the locations, starships, creatures, and droids that will bring Star Wars to life when the new lands open in 2019––not to mention the fully detailed model of the overall vision! The pavilion will be available to “ooh” and “aah” over all weekend long on the D23 Expo show floor.

In this announcement they also announced the Walt Disney Parks & Resorts panels and presentations that will happen throughout the weekend. Check out what's coming at the D23 Expo 2017:
