I don’t mind the current system, but I hope the changes aren’t like FP+ where off site were completely unable to get mine train of slinky. I hope they come up with something in the middle.

Well, we all know one thing for sure. Disney is absolutely not going back to a free skip the line service. If Disney does end up bringing back free Fastpass, I will personally give everyone that has ever posted in this thread $100.

Now, if only Park Hopping changes could be announced at some point… maybe.

So take away park passes but bring back a pre booking of FP/G+ which essentially locks you right back into a park.

2024 Disney Dining Plan Info & Details

Disney World is simplifying the Disney Dining Plan – reducing the number of plans from four plans to two plans:​

Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan​

Enjoy a fast and easy meal plan option for those on the go all day. Dine at a variety of Quick-Service locations where you can stop and enjoy a casual meal when you’re ready to grab a bite to eat. Just order at a counter or register and then find a seat—no dining reservations required!
What’s Included
Everyone in the travel party (ages 3 and up) will receive 2 Quick-Service meals per night and 1 snack/nonalcoholic drink per night of their package stay*—along with 1 Resort-refillable drink mug**. Meals and snacks can be redeemed at any time during the stay.
* Specific number of meals and snacks are determined by the number of nights included in the package stay. Meals and snacks can be redeemed at any time during your stay. Unused meals and snacks will roll over day to day and expire at midnight on day of checkout. Meals and snacks are nontransferable between party members.
** Resort-refillable mugs are eligible for refills from self-service beverage islands at any Disney Resort hotel Quick-Service location.
Important Information

• Beverages are included with each meal. Guests under 21 years of age may choose from a variety of nonalcoholic beverages. Guests 21 and older with valid identification may substitute for beer, wine and cocktails.
• Guests ages 3 to 9 must order from a children’s menu, where available.
• Plan must be purchased for entire length of stay and for the entire party (ages 3 and up).

Dine and Snack at Your Own Pace
Remember, meals and snacks can be redeemed at any time during your stay.
For example, if you book a 4-night package with a Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, each Guest (ages 3 and up) in your party would receive 8 Quick-Service meals and 4 Snacks or Nonalcoholic Beverages—which can be used at any time during your 4-night stay.

Disney Dining Plan​

Want to slow down a little and enjoy sit-down meals—including Character dining experiences? Then the Disney Dining Plan is the perfect choice to experience classic dining options at both Quick-Service and Table-Service restaurants. This option allows you to plan your meals: Quick-Service when you’re on the go and Table-Service when you plan to savor the moment.
What’s Included
Everyone in the travel party (ages 3 and up) will receive 1 Table-Service meal per night, 1 Quick-Service meal per night and 1 snack/nonalcoholic drink per night of their package stay*—along with 1 Resort-refillable drink mug**. Meals and snacks can be redeemed at any time during the stay.
* Specific number of meals and snacks are determined by the number of nights included in the package stay. Meals and snacks can be redeemed at any time during your stay. Unused meals and snacks will roll over day to day and expire at midnight on day of checkout. Meals and snacks are nontransferable between party members.
** Resort-refillable mugs are eligible for refills from self-service beverage islands at any Disney Resort hotel Quick-Service location.

• Guests ages 3 to 9 must order from a children’s menu, where available.
• Plan must be purchased for entire length of stay and for the entire party (ages 3 and up).

Dine and Snack at Your Own Pace

I wonder if the prebooking will work like the old CL FPs did and they will allow you to book a limited number of LLs in advance per day for an extra cost. Obviously at a much lower price point than the CL FPs. But I could see them doing that to limit the number of LLs taken out of the daily pool and milk it for more $$$.

Bingo! I think it will be something that lets you pick times better too and ahead of the day, but there will be a higher charge than G+ currently.

I'm surprised this wasn't listed. With reservations going away for most, I don't know how they would manage this anyway.

We splurged on this twice.... and loved it but were stuffed all week.

Yeah the Deluxe and Plus plan are not returning initially.

Curious how Virtual Queues will be impacted if they are still in place by the time this change is implemented.
