Hi, I don't like being the bearer of bad news, but I was told by someone at Disney that they are planning to phase out the Dining Plan. They don't have an exact date yet, but I was told it "will probably be gone by summer."
I was told that many people want the dining plan because they've talked to others who have happily used it, but when they're told that they have to stay on Disney property, they get angry. They want the Dining Plan even if they stay off-property and can get very belligerent about it.
Disney is currently trying to find a way to make everyone happy and are planning to go to the "gift card" concept. People can put money on a gift card and use it to pay regular price for their meals so they won't have to carry cash. It didn't make much sense to me, but that's what I was told.
Has anyone else heard this from a Disney representative?
