That isn't true at all...

The UK is a huge market for Disney and why we got free dining in the first place.

Orlando visitor numbers 2017:

Canada 3.48 million (3.34 million)
United Kingdom 1.44 million (1.59 million)
Brazil 0.99 million (1.03 million)
Argentina 0.65 million (0.76 million)
Columbia 0.53 million (0.54 million)

Its total common sense that a huge stack of these visitors end up at Disney spending dollars.

Disney will not be wanting to see the UK market slipping away and free dining is a huge pull. Every year we hear the same rubbish about free dining going. I think there is little of no chance of it going. It didn't go when any of the other park expansions happened and it won't happen now. They want numbers up not down. Would make zero sense to stop it. Also, UK visitors are big spenders compared to other nations. Most american families are on a budget and although they don't have the air fair (well someone of them anyway) the do have fork out for food.

You are free to think what you want but my money is on you being wrong and it continuing.

Every other year I’d have agreed with you 100% but we can see the offer get more and more limited. Galaxy’s Edge will be a huge draw and they may not need any offers at all.
