Yup! Same thing if you stay in a value. The free dining is always the better option than 10 or 15% off.

Any insiders on here have any predictions as to whether or not the Dining Plan returns by October 2022?

That’s what was said about hotel discounts for 2022.
Once they can hire enough staff to run restaurants at full capacity I think the dining plan will follow. Although I agree the plans are unlikely to be offered for 2022, they might start selling them this year for stays in 2023.
They need to increase staffing first though whether local or through the international programmes being restarted.

I'm kinda hoping they will give an update around they release 2023 packages in normal June timeframe.
Brings up, all the non-Disney owned restaurants did yearly contracts right? Maybe it will take a bit to get them on board too.

A quick look at this site’s resort articles shows:
- a Summer discount of $500
- 20% off resort stays
for this year. And there were discounts last summer too. Plus AP discounts. It may be disappointing to some but they’re still discounts.

Maybe with the hike in fuel (both auto and jet), there will be less travel and there will be discounts? I'd rather the reason for the fuel hikes would stop but I foresee it lasting a fair bit 
Never have been so happy to have been an early planner, booking our airfare for this summer back in Jan.

Yup, a discount is a discount, folks said there wouldn't be any this year and here they are, can't see how anyone can argue that.A quick look at this site’s resort articles shows:

It’s like shopping at Kohls if you don’t shop with a coupon you lose out
They raise there prices and make you think you got a great deal with their 30%off coupon Disney just did the same thing raise the prices and offer a small discount to make it appear as if they are doing something for the customer look at prices from 6 months ago even 3 months ago also look at prices after the suppose discount ends in July prices are the same as the discount offered

Based on the post title?
There is no such thing as the Disney Dining Plan. That which can not be purchased, does not exist.

Just back from my 9 day stay and, having booked ADRs for all but 2 meals with no repeat restaurants across all 4 parks and several resorts (20+ sit downs), I'm pleased to say there were very few empty tables available. In fact, most of the restaurants were packed and reseating as quickly as guests left. If there's a staffing shortage at the restaurants, it wasn't obvious during our stay!

Happy to hear this! We have a trip booked for October as well. We are big fans of the DDP. I know that it never truly saves money but we enjoy it simply for the convenience of having the entire vacation mostly paid for. Disney makes money on selling these so I’m sure they want it back as soon as they can offer it. While I’m not planning on having it for our trip this time I do hope they give some news on it soon. They already said it’s coming back but no exact date. I could see it returning this year possibly summer or fall but again I’m not counting on it.

Yeah always loved the DDP. Always worked out for us, you can order anything you want really.....whether its the expensive filet mignon or the cheap burger. Obviously, its better if you order the more expensive stuff to get the most out of it. Can't wait until it returns.
I marvel at people thinking that’s how this would go.
