I know that they come from the back, but so do the monte cristos at BB and they're pre-assembled. I figured that they were making the GF sandwiches to order, but I'd still ask every time about a dedicated prep area. When Carnation no longer had a dedicated fryer it wasn't announced, people found out by asking. Some of the sandwiches in the case really looked awful when they had them out. There was a noticeable color difference between the new ones and the ones that had been out. I've even heard people say that the sample sandwiches are a turn off because they're not labeled as samples and people think that's the last sandwich. But, the caprese was pretty good when it sat out for awhile and the pesto soaked in. The grilled cheese, not so much.
I booked WOC dessert party online, noting the gluten allergy when I did so. Then I called a couple weeks prior to our trip and talked to a CM to make sure all of our reservations had his allergy clearly noted. The CM went through everything, and we chatted about how WOC food works. Then two days prior to our booked WOC date - a CM called to confirm the allergy and discuss the food options. I assume this is because they plan out the food restricted plates the day prior, so they want to make sure you're still planning to keep the res before they do that. I was very specific that DH would rather have more fruit and savories than sweets, and she noted all of that - and that may be why he got a ton of fruit but not as many desserts. His plate had the same cheeses and grapes as the regular plates, and he got his own bread. None of the sweets appearing on the regular plates were ok for him, so he had blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries with a sweet yogurt dip, a chocolate-dipped strawberry, and some kind of tart (looked like a shortbread-ish base, with chocolate and berries). There was a lot of fruit on that plate; it was abundant, and he is a BIG eater but agrees. I neglected to snap a photo. They knew exactly which plate was his, no confusion, had some kind of label on it.
FYI - my DH's bread was gf, as were the desserts. I didn't state that specifically, but that is what I meant! He has celiac, so I shouldn't really use the "allergy" word, but that's how they flag gluten restrictions so I just went with their terminology. He doesn't have any actual allergies or other restrictions, purely just gf.

Oh, gotcha! I was worried that I hadn't been specific enough.
Well, if the hot cocoa isn't ok, there is also non-alcoholic sparkling cider, if you can have that? Our waitress brought the kids each a small cup of that, and when she saw how quickly my son drank it - she asked if he would like more... and brought a giant cup back. Otherwise, I only remember water to drink.
We did the PTN package in April, so maybe things have changed, but DH had the chicken option - came with salad, green beans, a gf roll, and gf dessert (i think it was an Enjoy Life packaged thing). I think subbing the gf roll and dessert were the only alterations to what you would otherwise get when you order the chicken option.
Just a reminder that the argument for why City Hall stopped printed lists holds true with old copies of menus. Always check before ordering and don't go to a place assuming that the items you saw online will still be available or the ingredients will be the same.
