No alcohol on DDP in 2026?

[tbssenterprises]

Did I read that correctly? Are you not allowed one QS alcoholic beverage and one DDP alcoholic beverage in 2026? If that's the case, then it really is a bargain on the 2025 DDP. Right?

I'm not sure where you are seeing that. I don't see any reference to alcohol being removed in 2026.

I think you're getting confused.

Generally the snack credit (which could be a beverage) does not include alcoholic beverages.

When was DDP ever a bargain?

 

[tbssenterprises]

No, the 2025 specifically says you can order an alcoholic beverage (provided you are 21+) with your QS and again with your Table Service. I do not see that verbadge in the new 2026 plan. This has nothing to do with snack credits.

 

[lanejudy]

I do not see that verbadge in the new 2026 plan.

Again, where are you seeing that? WDW's dining plans page doesn't specify 2025 vs 2026, and any other websites I've looked at that reported about the 2026 offer say "no change."

Provide the link in which you are seeing this info

This is the 2026 dining plan terms and conditions.

When was DDP ever a bargain?

When it included appetizer, dessert and gratuity.

That states:
"Guests 21 and older may substitute for beer, wine, mixed drinks or cocktails."

are you looking at the UK description?

Post #8 shows the UK description and post #6 has a link to the US description. It should be the same, though; to my knowledge there isn't a different plan.

Dining plan rules are the same no matter which country's Disney World website it's on. Alcohol is allowed.

I wish they would have a lower priced option without alcohol for people under 21.

I wish they would have a lower priced option without alcohol for people under 21.

Or for those who don't drink alcohol.

This is how rumors get started

 

[AdamsMum]

When was DDP ever a bargain?

When it included tax and tip. Remember those days?

I don't remember tip but doesn't it still include tax. I'm kind of ok with not including tip, some people like to tip over the 18% that is usually added(some under I'm sure). For me if your including 18% tip then that's what I'm paying I'm not adding in extra so I think the staff kind of lose out.

In the very beginning it did include tip too. I think it still includes the tax. Back then, it didn't include alcoholic beverages.

Well, if they DID remove alcohol from the DDP I would never consider it. The only thing that makes me consider it is the knowledge that if I order alcohol and beef at most meals I can "beat the plan." Without alcohol, I could never beat the plan and unfortunately, the way my brain works, I could never NOT try to beat the plan.

This seems to be a horrible rumor. I don't think they would do this.
