No. At a signature, you still get a single beverage entitlement, which you may use for one specialty beverage.
That was my gut feeling, just wanted to clarify.

Beverages tend to be twice as expensive at signature restaurants, if I recall correctly.If I am understanding this correctly, on the DxDP, if you eat at a signature restaurant you can get 2 alcoholic/specialty beverages?
For ex, a glass of wine and a specialty coffee with dessert.
Does anyone know if the prices are different for DVC members? I could be wrong but I think that right now (2017) the dining plan is a few dollars cheaper when booked to a DVC reservation.
I was just reading the new literature from Disney about the 2018 DXDP. One of the draws for the dining plan is to book character buffets. Reading the literature, it seemed questionable if the adult beverage would be included at buffets. Has anyone else noticed this?

Drinks must be ordered with each meal, correct? So we drink with breakfast or forfeit that drink.
I hadn't thought of breakfasts, as we never do them. I wonder if this will negatively impact breakfast attendance and make lunch and dinners harder to get?Drinks must be ordered with each meal, correct? So we drink with breakfast or forfeit that drink.

So, I am constantly reading on these forums and blogs that signature restaurants are a terrible use of two dining credits. I can see how ordering a plain chicken or veggie dish at one of these restaurants can make that true. But I'm not understanding why this is always the case. Especially at places like Yachtsman where the entree alone is easily $50-$70+++ or even the brunch at California Grill, which looks amazing and includes lobster benedict and bottomless mimosas, doesn't that make them a value at two credits? What am I missing? I haven't been since 2013 so I don't remember how it worked then, but I am currently planning our honeymoon for Feb/Mar 2018 and am debating whether we are going to add the dining plan, or even the deluxe. Help! lol
I think it just depends on eating style, price of entrees (as you've said), and what you'd pay otherwise... I would just look at some signature menus of restaurants you like and make your own determination. The hard and fast "bad vs good" use of table credits varies a lot between dining plans, anyway.
It's my future plan to buy the deluxe dining plan, and do one TS breakfast (or lunch), use our snack credits as a light meal/snack for morning or afternoon, and then do a signature every night. Already looked at menus, and based on where we would eat and what we'd like to order, we come out ahead and "maximize value" on the deluxe plan.
Now, whether that is cheaper than just using Tables in Wonderland... still calculating

In that same vein, do buffets generally offer things like artisan milkshakes for the kids? Because if not, how would these new updates help anyone eating at a character buffet?
