I don’t think they will. I think they feel in the long run, it would cost them more if they change it.
Totally agree...I could see it costing them more money for two reasons based on my career experiences:
1. I used to work in IT for a Fortune 500 company and to change something that you would think is so simple, always ended up being so complex and expensive...upgrading software, computers, networking, the cloud, training the appropriate people all the way from upper management to costumer service...on and on; that’s one of the reasons I left and got into advertising and sales. And so from that experience, I know it is not a cheap and easy change on Disneys end to do and not worth the trouble.
2. Now in advert and sales, I now know how not-so-smart many people are and if you word it just right, you can get them to buy anything. How many times do you see posts here about people having extra snack or dining credits left over??? Are they really saving the 10-20% that Disney claims??? I bet more than 75% of people who purchase these plans have credits left over. By altering the dining plans, people will no longer purchase them and, like the above, Disney will take a huge financial hit.
Disney knows what they’re doing and they do it very well!
On a side note...I thought this thread was deleted/locked, like so many others lately; good to see it back from the dead! I always find these types of discussions on how Disney operates interesting.
