Ahoy there, Kellie, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like we share a sweet tooth, so it’s my pleasure to be the one to assist you with this question.
Disney Cruise Line does an incredible job of catering to their Guests in all areas, particularly when it comes to dietary requests. Because I know how important this information is for your peace of mind, I
chatted with a helpful Disney Cruise Line representative who confirmed that the
Disney Dream does offer gluten-free ice cream and ice cream cones at the soft-serve station. In addition to filling out a
Special Services Request Form ahead of your sailing, I learned you will still need to ask for it onboard, and then the crew members will serve it for you with care to avoid cross-contamination.
I also recommend speaking to your Lead Server at dinner on your first night to confirm both your needs and preferences. Whether dealing with a food allergy or ensuring your favorite drink is awaiting you each night as you sit down, your dining room team will go out of their way to make every dining dream come true and will quickly become like a second family at sea.
Another one of my favorite sweet spots on the Dream is Vanellope’s Sweets & Treats. Not only will you discover some gluten-free goodies, but they also often have more specialty options that even cater to vegetarians and vegans. And I couldn’t let you go without sharing one of my favorite tips: I like to bring my reusable mug from my Disney Resort stay to fill with ice cream and then make a float with the complimentary soda at the stations on the pool deck.
I hope this answer makes you even more excited to set sail, Kellie. If any other questions bubble up before debarkation, don’t hesitate to head back to us here at
planDisney!
Embrace the magic,
Sami
