What can I get instead of dessert on the QSDP?

[kkmcan]

We are getting the QSDP for free dining in two weeks. We don't typically eat dessert with our meals so what else can I choose as a dessert?

I think I will use one sc for breakfast and then use one later in the day to get a treat. I may get an actual dessert with my dinner but I don't think I need another dessert with lunch.

TIA.

Sometimes places have fruit as a dessert option. I did this once and got apple slices. Another time I got a strawberry yogurt and gave it to my son who was only 14 months old at the time and so not on the DDP but was sharing food with all of us. A friend of mine was at WDW in July 2009 and said they were able to get a bottle of water instead of their dessert with their CS meals. They were on the basic DDP but I would imagine that the same would apply to the QSDP since it is the same CS credit being used.

You can also get a bottle of water.

We were able to get fresh fruit salads at the food court rather than a "normal" dessert, I also got juice or water a couple of times.

Most places, if they have it, are happy to provide a healthy alternative like yogurt or fruit. An extra drink/bottled water is also an option most of the time. You have to keep in mind though that they accommodate these requests as a courtesy, so on the very rare occasion that you may (and probably won't at that) encounter a CM who flatly says no, don't let it bother you. I have never been told I can't have a water/fruit instead of dessert, but others have reported the occasional difficulty.

Thanks for the info! Fruit or bottled water sound great!

We just did the dining plan last week and I had fruit with almost every QS meal rather than having the traditional dessert. It was usually grapes or apples.

DD and I eat fruit for breakfast so we would be sure that if we were going to trade dessert for fruit, we tried to do so for dinner so that we could put the fruit in the room fridge for breakfast the next day. They we would just buy a pot of yogurt and the food court.
