Hi Carlyn!
Thanks for bringing your question about Disney Dining to us here at planDisney! If there's something I think I'm an expert at, it is definitely dining! We love to plan new dining experiences during our trips to the Walt Disney World Resort. We've been able to test our palates on different cuisines within the parks and resorts. From charbroiled octopus at
Coral Reef Restaurant in Epcot, to delicious Bone Marrow at
Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney's Yacht Club Resort. You can definitely taste around the world when at Walt Disney World!
I'm so happy to hear you have a reservation at
Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom! It has a special place in my heart for the wonderful Cast Member service we have received there over the years! The ambiance cannot be beat, especially when you take a walk into the West Wing.. here, it isn't forbidden!! The lunch and dinner offerings are currently signature prix-fixe, which requires guests to choose appetizer, entree and dessert for one price. Unfortunately, at this time, there is no option to purchase appetizer and/or dessert in lieu of a meal. Every party on the reservation would need to select from the same menu, and would be charged the same price.
Carlyn, if your family is looking to sample the grey stuff outside of Be Our Guest Restaurant, I've got some great news for you! If you head over to Gaston's Tavern, you can order the Grey Stuff cupcake, which is the exact grey stuff you would enjoy as your dessert in the White Chocolate "Chip" Cup! This is a recent addition and may be available for a limited time, so I'd definitely check it out!
Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
