There was a time when Disney offered 7 nights for the price of 4. There is always a marketing promotion to continue to draw quest to Disney using a fresh concept.
Rest assure the dining plans that exist today will have a life cycle and surcome to changes as Disney listens and responds to complaints. As some of you may note that Disney has already implemented changes and I think there are more to come in the future.
Overall, I think a vacation should be relaxing, fun and entertaining. Dining should not resemble a project managers milestone task, in competition.
Selling so many dining plans to the point that guest start to become
is well...lets just say it is not a good thing for an array of reasons.
I must say, I really feel for the individuals in Orlando who have Disney annual passes who desire to eat at a TS restaurant...they should voice their concerns to Disney Management until they provide a solution.
