I'm going with the assumption that if we request a Babycakes dessert that there will some kind of charge. At fixed price restaurants I can't imagine that it would be included though I certainly won't complain if it is. Regardless of the restaurant, I'm expecting a charge. As to how much that will be, I have no idea. At this point I'm guessing that it'll be a little more than if I picked up the item at BC itself. Hopefully we'll find out prices REALLY soon. I'd have to second guess ordering these if they're priced similar to the slipper or treasure chest desserts.
I also assume that the allergy desserts currently offered at restaurants will continue to be available. I don't see a lot of people taking advantage of this service and Disney has been so amazing about allergies that I can't see them doing away with the current options. I'm probably among the minority who has somebody in her party who can't eat the standard allergy dessert options other than the ice cream so that's why I'm SO thrilled. DD13 doesn't get many options so this is wonderful for her.
As to the current price we pay, well, yes we have payed more. Look at the menu at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor at MK. With a
DDP snack credit most can get a large double scoop sundae but all we can get is a single scoop of non-dairy ice cream with nothing on it. If paying OOP that single scoop is almost as expensive as that sundae. At POFQ the chefs have made a special batch of brownies for DD13 but they're maybe 1/3 the size of the regular ones. We pay full price listed for an allergy brownie for that little thing and I believe that price is slightly higher than the price of a regular brownie. It's just the way it is for some of us. I'm so appreciative of being able to get these things outside of our house that the price is fine with me. I also understand that Disney's profit on my more expensive items is lower than their profit on regular items so I can't really begrudge them for charging more. In a sense I also pay more for things like burgers since we get less with our burgers as my kids can't eat even the allergy buns but we certainly don't get a discount for not getting everything. Again, it is what it is and I'm happy to pay the prices. I've also found that since my girls mostly get ice cream at TS restaurants that in these situations I'm shocked when the bill arrives to see that we're often charged kid sundae prices even though they get more than that and it's the allergy ice cream so I guess it balances out in the end.

Looking forward to hearing more details once things are more concrete.
