Our long national nightmare may be one step closer to being over:
No press statement yet, but according to rumors, starting with next June's "Oz, the Great & Powerful", Disney may be rebranding its Digital Copies to removing the extra disk entirely, and replacing it with unlocking a cloud-streaming file or iTunes download through the on-paper Disney Movie Rewards code--
Only instead of running movies through a clunky slow-streaming site of its own, attaching the downloads to existing streaming sites, through Amazon and Vudu.)

Nothing up at the site yet except for the FAQ page and a place to enter codes, but seems to be legit.
Tried experimenting by entering a Monsters, Inc. 3D DMR code from last month, and instead of getting "code not found", got the error message of "We currently do not support the redemption of older titles."
They may still likely offer combos with or without DC (to cover the $5 difference), but at least less plastic and smaller cases may bring disk-stuffing down. (Which was the issue that prompted all those complaints about the solo Oz 3D disk in the first place.)
