They stopped allowing this long before COVID, there were lots of conversations about it. It just makes NO economic sense for the restaurants, they are already "taking a loss" with the DDP.
We stopped getting the plan, we just didn't want all those desserts and some meals we wanted a table full of appetizers. I imagine starting it up new they will be very strict so if the plan doesn't meet your dining style I wouldn't get it ~ unless it's free and you can be more flexible ... aka pay of of pocket for appetizers, get several different desserts and everyone share.
