Hmmm….showing a picture of a sad Genie with this article. Seems like a schlock ploy to get people to click thinking it’s about the extremely unpopular GeniePlus. Or am I imagineering it?
I would like to see Disney CEO go back to walts dream. People out of control at the parks should be banned permanently. That’s what WALT would do 1966 I did meet Walt in disneyland and he asked me what I thought of his beloved park .
Save the magic because Walt would.
Bring back old dining program for people like my family who go for over 2 weeks and always used the old plan with the dining card i cant afford to eat at disney
I remember when we were given so much money on our account when we made reservations at the parks. The money could be used in any restraunt or for any snacks when we wanted them ……I liked that the best, then they went to 2 quick serve meals a day and 2 snacks a day for the plan we got. That was pretty good. We never bought the delux plan because we cant eat 2-3 large meals a day…….I realize it would be more expensive now, BUT a lot of people like it and would want it………Another way to do it for some people is to let them buy a ticket for a day to eat 2 meals and a snack . We would like that when family comes into town or if we stay the entire day from rope drop to close.
Please bring back the dining plan the way it was!! I had a bounceback offer for 2020 if free dining when the world closed! I specifically went in 2019 to get that offer for my 2020 trip that I never got to go on. I’d really like it back please and thank you.
Removing the dining plan makes no sense. Disney made money off the plan. We are now making fewer reservations and will not be eating at Disney as much this trip, because there is no dining plan. Paying for our meals in advance made it feel like the food was free (it’s obviously far from it), but we just got to enjoy our trip and not stress over the price of meals in the moment. Our kids got snacks whenever they wanted and we didn’t have to constantly say no, because of the price. I cannot understand the thought behind Disney removing the plan.
We are DVC Members. We can only make it down during the simmer. We lived and planned for the dining plan every year. Buffet meals and quick service or sit-down meals. Snacks we could let our older kids pick their own. Not only did you take the dining plan away but raised the prices of some of the restaurants. Now we are cutting down on the parks we go to from 4 to 2. You lose money. When you raise prices. I do not see how a family of 5 is going to be able to eat. We are looking to eat off-property, The biggest mistake is changing Trails End to Quick services. We use to eat there for a buffet for Breakfast and dinner. BRING THE DINING PLAN BACK. You gain a lot of your money back.
I don’t understand why Disney doesn’t bring back the dining plan. It made them lots of $$$ because I never bought it because I did the math and I would have been overpaying for food. It’s not a good deal for consumers/guests, just a convenience. It feels like free food. With DIsney always trying to make a buck, offering a meal plan is an excellent way to do so. Plus if that travel agent/trip planner can talk you into a meal plan they make more $$$ off of you. They’ll always try to sell it to you and you think yes! I do need that. 🤣 No, you don’t. You’d save so much money without it. Buy some GCs and use them as prepayment if you want to feel like “I can order anything w/o caring about the price!”
Yes I would love the return of the Disney dining plan. ! We purchased on every trio for years. Also I live to see the end of park reservation and genie plus.
Please bring back Disney dining ! We bought it every trio for years ! It was a good value. We usually got the 2 quick service and one sit down meal. The reservation requirement needs to be over ! Genie plus is just a price gouging gimmick .

Waking up at 7 am on vacation is insane. You have have park reservation and park tickets. Dinning reservations and Genie system can’t put cell down. Nope
Universal is resort, express pass and dinner reservation.
Done! Easy and stress free.
I will not return Disney
Bring back the Disney of 2018. The dining, the fast pass, the prices, everything. Get rid of the park reservations, the genie, the food card, all of that nonsense. We were planning to go post pandemic until we heard about these changes so we haven’t been back.
