Hi, you lovely, helpful people. I tried skimming through several pages of this forum looking for answers myself, but after about page 7 or 8, I was thinking I had to have missed something staring me right in the face. Keep in mind, I've never been one to have much success finding Waldo, lol.
Anyway, back to my point.
Heading down to Disney for the first time in a while (around 4 years) in June and doing the QSDP for the first time. Before we've always had the regular dining plan thanks to free dining promotions. We're a little bummed out that we're going to miss out on some of our fave TS restaurants, but a little excited also because our limited time down there won't be so scheduled.
Looking over the entitlements, everything seems fine. Reading different threads though, we've found out you no longer get a dessert with your counter service meal. This isn't necessarily a deal breaker--we didn't always want dessert--but we did enjoy it on occasion because it was like a treat you know? Something out of the ordinary because it's something we don't indulge in too much at home and at Disney, indulging is the game and I don't know. I just felt like I was getting my money's worth getting something I wouldn't normally pay for.
Anybody had any luck recently exchanging drinks for dessert?
And...is it your experience that the options are more restricted? Like WGPE, for instance. Are you limited to the brownies and fruit cups as snacks as opposed to using a snack credit for the cheesecake? Come to think of it, I don't even think they allowed us to get the cheesecake as a snack credit last time. We were only allowed to order it as dessert to go with our entrée.
I guess I'm just wondering if most dessert items are available as snack credits or has Disney put their foot down and said nope. You want that? You're paying OOP or getting the DDP?
I don't even know if I'm making any sense or muddling everything all up.
What is your personal experience?
