Hiya, Julie! Welcome back to planDisney!
We’re happy to be hearing from you again, and hope you’re enjoying counting down the days to your upcoming vacation — it’s going to be here before you can say, “Oh boy!” While you’re packing (if you need a good show to watch) I highly recommend checking out Behind the Attraction on Disney+. This is a great show to watch as you prepare for your vacation as it gives some really interesting history on some of the most popular attractions at Disney!
As for your question about swapping your desserts at
Table Service restaurants for something else while on the
Disney Dining Plan: There is not currently a standard substitution permission for desserts, Julie, BUT I highly recommend that you ask your Server as each specific dining location may have options available to you. If you explain your situation, they may be able to swap your dessert for an appetizer or they may be able to give you some dessert options that would work with your particular dietary needs. It is best to ask at the beginning of your meal so your Server can have time to adjust your meal if they can. You can also always ask for a box for your dessert if there’s a person in your party that would enjoy it later in the day.
I hope that you have a magnificent time at The Most Magical Place on Earth, Julie! I’m sure you’re going to have a lovely trip.
If you have any additional questions before your trip, we’d love to hear from you again at planDisney! You know where to find us!
See ya real soon,
Allyn
