Diabetic Desserts

[passporterfan13]

Disney supposedly has good alternatives for Diabetics and others with special food-related needs, but we never saw them. We told our server at every restaraunt and also when reserving and all they did was question everything our diabetic ordered (diabetic is late teens) and slowly repeat all the element sof that item that may contain sugar like she was stupid or something. I'm sorry but thats just rude and I would not have expected it from Disney. As for desserts there really wasn't anything except at Le Celeir wich had an excellent sugar free creme type-thing with lots of fruit (sugar, but less than with normal creme stuff). At the counter services: sugar-free Jell-0 (pretty good) and Sugar-free brownies (or as we like to call them- chocolate covered sawdust blech!). Maybe we were just unlucky, and we never would have known about Le Cellier if we hadn't asked, but I am still shocked as Disney is supposed to be so good about these things.

I agree with you that some people in the food service area need a little more common sense.
My DH is a diabetic. He's not a desert eater so we never actually noticed the lack of desert choices. But one day we went to brunch at Boma's and the waitress kept pushing the frunch. He reapetedly turned her down, nicely. She brought it anyway and told him that it was delicious and he should just try it and he would like it. At this point, he said rather loudly "I'm diabetic! I CAN'T drink it." He was more upset that she couldn't take no for an answer. He felt that he was a big boy and could make his own food choices without having to explain his medical issues with people. And then she had the nerve to say "Well how could I know that?"
