DDP - any recent rumours of a return date?

Hi, I’m sure it’s probably already a hot topic but wondered if any more has been said by Disney since we turned into the new year on the return of the Dining Plan? We’re due to go in August - would purchase if it returns to buy this year but if a FREE DDP offer was on the cards for 2023 we’d happily delay trip for a year... !

one can hope...
This will be our first trip with no dining plan - it’s gonna feel weird (and pricey!)

No new rumors but i honestly believe it will be here this year! ... Like you i so hope im right!

I imagine if it was to return the price will have increased significantly due to food and labour costs going up since 2019

Nothing beyond the "will be returning" that was announced months ago.

I'd be surprised if we get a DDP offer for 2023, they would probably already need to be working on the offer now in order to release it in April and they can't promote something that currently is not available. But even ignoring that, I think they'll stick with a credit offer for next year.

They don't have enough staff in the restaurants either.
