Exactly this. Ages 10-20 needs a non alcoholic plan!

I just said the same thing elsewhere!
Under 9 cost:
10-20 cost:
21 and up cost:
Makes it easy.

Or even an option to include a specialty drink or not as some legal adults don't want/can't medically drink alcohol
(Like $5/day extra gets that added so still a "deal" if you want it but don't pay if you can't have it)

I agree with that as well. I’ve done the math many times. It pretty easy for the kids plan to be a good deal. But the adult plan is usually only worth it if you normally order alcoholic beverages at 2 meals per day. I don’t drink at all so the current plan really doesn’t work in my favor.

It hasn’t been sticking the last couple of years…so what changed today?

Maybe they are thinking about announcing it next weekend but want to gage public opinion?
What has changed...? Hmmmmmmmm.
But it's par for the course with Disney.
Take the exact same thing you had a couple of years ago, slap a different name on it and raise the prices.
And then watch the cupcake brigade loose their pixie dust over this new and wonderful thing that papa Iger has bestowed upon the unwashed cash dispensing meat sacks.
Food and beverage price increases were approved internally, to be implemented in late October? What better time to announce the TRIUMPHANT RETURN!!! of the Deluxe Dining Plan than when you want to mask a price increase.

I honestly don’t know anyone who has bought this since “the incident”…
I’m sure that commensurate price increases will go to coincide with the increases implemented to show you’re “saving money” by paying the increased prices…oe something?

Definitely wish there were more options to the structure - like only 1 meal a day but 3 snack credits

I know someone who did this past summer, but he likes paying up front for as much as possible so he doesn’t have to pay for very much once there. And there were 3 alcoholic beverages ordered (only one person couldn’t order because they are under 21) with every meal to squeeze as much as possible out of it.I honestly don’t know anyone who has bought this since “the incident”…

Wait… this was a thing before?
WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS WHEN IT WAS A THING?!?!
‘Member this?You sound amped up…I’m
Gonna by you a skinny Lapu Lapu when I see ya
Look at the cut in “Premium” offerings in just a decade.
How much do you want to bet that adjusted for inflation, whatever new scheme they’re coming up with would cost more and have much much much less to offer?
Ohh but the Rona changed everything…Ha!

It’s not you or me…
Read the written report for every “record breaking! High Demand! Parks Quarterlies”
…which is never brought back up round here…
…you’ll find the line “increases due to price increases and cost cuts”
Every single time…the only people who haven’t caught on to the game after 5-10 years of this aren’t looking to catch on.

That is the $12,000 a week question, isn’t it?
I imagine somewhere in the “retail” range…

I do agree that’s not right…controlled substances shouldn’t be a mandatory cost…should be a surcharge that’s optional.
But it breaks the hold of the plan if they start line iteming the package components…it would start to show where the upcharges are.
