Way too early for me to say for sure, but if I come I'll do my cinnamon roll casserole which fills my 14" DO.

I will sacrifice my self to do a quality control check of the your cinnamon roll casserole

THIS time I'll have a liner in it

Ditto, we learned the hard way after cooking some Brunswick stew in our DO. Got some aluminum liners for it now.

It is getting a little "old hat" though.

Think of it as a classic.

Has anyone done a Baked Alaskan in a DO ? That would be different.

They make parchment paper liners also. They are not as handy as the aluminum ones but they are far cheaper and you can usually get them at your local wallyworld.

I saw those and since my local wallyword stocks them I know I can get just about anytime I need to. I also have a large roll of parchment paper that I can cut to size if needed ( got it for use with my food dehydrator) The aluminum ones I had to order to make sure I have some on hand as I had no idea how long it would take to get. Ordered two items on ebay the other day, same time, different companies, both USA stocked. The one item that had to be shipped ground ( flammable liquid ) already got here. The other item has not ( adhesive tape for Cuben fiber ). Go figure

Shipping, go figure!
A word of advice about the parchment paper, if I may, I have cut to fit, both parchment paper and heavy duty aluminum foil before. It usually comes out wrong. Mainly because the cuts are not watertight and they always end up below the line of whatever it is that you are cooking. Thus, liquid seeps out into the dutch oven and you have a mess. The purpose made liners are shaped for the DO's and do not have this problem. they come about 8 to a pack. I think they are the best deal though they are not as hand as the aluminum and I freely admit that. In favor for the aluminum, you can often wash and reuse them if what you cooked was not something too sticky. This does not work too well for cobblers but it is ok for, say, BBQ chicken or, perhaps, 'gator, after OBXH2O wrestles one down for us!
