Sorry, but I had a little smirky chuckle at the call ahead suggestion. The Disney phone lines would not be able to handle that.

Not to mention, all the calls to Disney Dining go to a call center in who knows where. Certainly not at Disney and probably not in Florida.
I have to say that I didn't even realise that call ahead was an option known to so many. Where I live it means you call in an order for takeout and then you pick it up. I did know that wasn't what the OP meant but had no idea it's a option in other parts of the country.
What if any are the consequences if you don't show up? How long does the eatery hold the reservation if you aren't there when you say you will be? Do they charge your credit card a preagreed amount if you don't show up?

I would prefer to eliminate reservations and instead allow me to get essentially a same day FP as it were from within the MDE app. So, let's say it is 11 AM and I am getting hungry, I can open the app and see what return times each restaurant has and choose one based on the return time, I then return within the specified window and have a short, 5-10 minute wait for my table.
Of course, I want FP+ to return to this as well, would make things much, much easier.

Yep, but completely eliminate ADRs, making it same day only and you don't pick the time window, you go based on what is available when you are hungry. Picking a return window could work as well, but would be problematic for those that don't get there when the park first opens.You mean like checking restaurant availability in the app and making a same-day reservation? Because you can do that now. We’ve done so plenty of times.
