Well, I've got good news and I've got bad news.
The good news is, you're not crazy, and you can keep your current calculator.
The bad news is, the online booking is indeed upping the costs for 2013 trips for the dining plans.
Ran a quick series of tests with the following conditions comparing the dining plan additional cost with the cost of the room I picked without a dining plan. All tests were for 1 night. Regular season was 10/19-10/20/2013, High season was 12/25-12/26/2013. Child in tests was 5. Tickets were included before selecting the dining plans.
Regular Season:
QSDP: 39.64 / 15.75
DDP: 58.68 / 18.86
DxDDP: 104.94 / 29.51
High Season:
QSDP: 39.64 / 15.75
DDP: 58.66 / 18.88
DxDDP: 104.94 / 29.51
Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that those are the final prices, nor does it mean that they're the 2014 prices, and lastly, nor does it mean that the seasonal upcharge is going away. The fact that there is no seasonal upcharge makes me skeptical of these numbers in general, moreso because they typically don't update these without updating room rates and opening packages (though, that could change).
This has also historically been the time of year that CMs have misquoted DDP costs to customers, so it's possible that the same system has bled through to the guest-facing side of the crappy MDE site now. It would be interesting to see what those who can do quotes and stuff on the old site receive...
Edit:
Updating with better test cases.
I still have some more work to do, especially on the holiday side...but I'm sleepy
