Bob just spells his name backwards. Which Bob? That's for you to decide.

Now what about Tables in Wonderland.

Yup. If historical evidence is permitted it will also reduce options on the menus even more.
It felt like the menus sprang back to life a little with the DDP gone.
I dine out for the entrees offered, not the appetizers or deserts. If I want them I'll get them someplace else. We need a return to normal dining habits.

DVC members can take advantage, and AP holders can take advantage if they have a resort reservation.
The whole vacation package verbiage is confusing. It makes it seem like you have to pay for a vacation package (resort+tickets) to buy disney dining plan. Am I missing something?

Yeah it's confusing the way they phrase it, but for DVC members and AP holders, there are ways to get a thing that's technically called a "package" that isn't "resort+tickets."
For AP holders, a room + dining plan is itself a package.
DVC members book through Member Services.
Thank you. We just became DVC members in November so not really sure how it all works and we have a trip booked for January 15th so I would at least like to see the pricing to see if it is even worth it (more than likely not).

I don’t really understand why they have. For those who purchased it, they were giving even more time and money to Disney while getting more than what the base tiers offered. For those who didn’t want it, they just didn’t need to purchase it.

"Free dining" equals rack rate room in virtually every scenario. I'm not saying it's necessarily always a rip off, just be sure to compare the "free dining" to any other packages available which may include discounted room and/or tickets.

Maybe a perception thing that it wasn’t good value? Getting rid may not highlight how expensive the 2 remaining tiers are when they come back more expensive. Personally though it seemed like too much food and pointless

Disneyland has had a Pirates DDP experience for several years now. Right after your boat leaves the load zone, you pass by Blue Bayou and yell, "throw me a roll!" And there you go... free bread.

So if I read this correctly, next year resort bookings/ packages will open on May 31?"Bringing back our fan-favorite Disney dining plans: Time to eat! Disney dining plans will be coming back as an option for those staying at Disney Resort hotels who purchase a vacation package with us starting with stays beginning Jan. 9, 2024, which will also open for bookings on May 31. We know our guests – and families in particular – have missed dining plans, which offer guests the convenience and peace of mind of pre-paying for their meals and snacks. Guests will be able to choose from two popular options: Packages that include either the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan or the Disney Dining Plan. Both plans will be a great value for families with young children with access to many spectacular food and beverage offerings across Walt Disney World."

We’re excited to announce the return of Disney dining plans, updates to theme park reservation requirements and more coming to Walt Disney World in 2024 to make planning your visits easier!disneyparks.disney.go.com
That's correct!
Early this time!
I just sent my family (that's planning to visit next year) - "5/31. GO TIME."

Don’t fall for it y’all
That's a minor detail to bury in a late Friday news release.
