    Hello, We will be having dinner at Be Our Guest on Fri., 09/11/26. This will be our third time there, but what exactly is "the gray stuff"? Thanks, Ed 25 days til WDW!

    Hi Ed! Wow! I'm glad to see what a huge fan you are of planDisney! I can tell how excited you are about your upcoming visit to Disney World! I am just as excited to answer your question because Be Our Guest Restaurant is my favorite dining location at Disney World, and “the grey stuff” is my favorite dessert in all of Disney World!

    Ed, as soon as I saw the question you submitted, I knew I wanted to answer it! I like “the grey stuff” so much that my wife and I searched for the recipe a few years ago. We were worried we might find a “generic” recipe for it, but much to our surprise, we found the recipe directly from Disney, located on the Disney Parks Blog! Ed, I’m linking the recipe that we found in 2020, yes, six years ago! This is the recipe for “the grey stuff.”

    Here is a PRO TIP for you, Ed. Since you are such a big fan of “the grey stuff,” I’m happy to share that you can enjoy the delicious dessert even if you aren’t dining at Be Our Guest Restaurant. Head on over to Gaston’s Tavern, where you will find “The Grey Stuff Cupcake.” This is always a stop for me (sometimes twice a day)! Because as they say, “Try the grey stuff, it’s delicious! Don’t believe me? Ask the dishes!”

    Dreams do come true!
