I had sugar free ice cream at the Tomorrowland Noodle Station - it was very good, I don't remember what flavor it was... I think that's the only sugar free dessert I had the whole trip. I'm sure someone else will have plenty of info for you. Did you check out the menus at AllEars?

I don't have much to add, but the bakery in the Norway section of Epcot had the most wonderful sugar free chocolate mousse! I didn't even miss the sugar.

Hi Kris,

Many of the full service restaurants have sugar free desserts upon request - but not all of them. Many places serve the sugarfree cheesecake.. which is decent. Some have a SF brownie.

Alway ask for a SF dessert (or whatever your special dietary request is) when making dining reservations. Disney requests 72 hours in advance. Tell the host/hostess at checkin. Tell your server. Even then, I have had some frustrations. Here are a couple examples from the last 12 months.

Based on my experience, don't ever bother trying to get a SF dessert at Chef's de France. The first time they told me it was because I did not request it in advance. So the next time I went I made sure it was requested and I even stopped by the restaurant earlier that day. Well, forget it.

California Grill - you would think you'd be able to get something really neat... not based on my 2 experiences. First time they kept trying to give me a gluten free dessert. It went all the way to the manager - who did his best to apologize - but that doesn't help much. They did go down to either Chef Mickey's or Concourse Steakhouse to get me something. Unfortunately, by the time it arrived, everyone was done with their desserts and we were ready to leave. The next time at CG - I was presented a box of SF chocolates to select some from. I asked for the ingredient list (sometimes sensitive to malitol) and they had NO ingredient list. They did bring out the box they came in..but it offered little help. I was very disappointed.

Some places offer No Sugar Added. Many of the counter service places have Eddy's NoSugarAdded Ice Cream. Kona Cafe had an awesome No Sugar Added apple cobbler that was awesome. I have also had a SF brownie there.

Only some of the counter service places offer sugarfee. I agree with the other poster about the Tomorrowland Noodle Terrace. They offer (or did in December) a FF, SF "ice cream" which actually tasted pretty good.

If you are staying at a Disney hotel with a food court that you plan to eat at - talk to the chef during a slow time and they do their best to accomodate you.

Even with all the "misses" for SF desserts at WDW, it's still heads above anything where I live in MD. Even the nicest restaurants look at me cross eyed when requesting SF anything.

I'm interested to hear other's experiences

Thanks for posting those tips DebWills. My dad is going to need SF desserts, so I'll pass this info along to my mom, and then share our experiences when we get back.

Deb, Melissa and Wendi - thanks for your information and insight. I am able control my Type II diabetes thru diet alone, but I do occasionally enjoy a dessert of some type. I'll check out that chocolate mousse at Norway. The box of sugar free chocolates might be something most of the restaurants should consider. I'm sure there are many others in this prediciment. We'll be on the dining plan in September for the first time. I'll try to let you all know how it went when I get back.

Thanks again
