@Mackenzie Click-Mickelson I agree with you and perhaps should have been more specific to our news thread folks, but even the "newbies" who are just starting their Disney dining research here on the boards with "Should I get the dining plan?" are lightyears ahead of many average guests. I say this after having gotten the experience of helping my fiance's mom plan a one-day visit to Animal Kingdom last week. One of her questions was "How do I find out when the park opens".
For someone that early on in the process or new to the planning experience, if they hear "Would you like to add the dining plan?" when they book a resort stay and tickets, they may say yes and not really know what they are getting. Even with the number of visitors the Dis gets, we are still in the minority. My point was that if Disney has data that makes them think including specialty beverages will sell more dining plans or make more profits, they're going to do it, and not care that a few really devoted Disney fans got their feathers ruffled over a price increase coupled with including booze. Those who are even aware of this being a policy change are a tiny fractional minority of the Disney guests.
Again, just my perspective. We don't all have to agree and it's interesting to see folks who are excited about it as well as consider the viewpoint of those less than pumped for a price increase of their "adult" 11 year olds. Meanwhile I'll just be over here with my TIW card and my appetizers
