It is a physical change (phase change). Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide gas. At atmospheric pressure, liquid CO2 is unstable. So the frozen solid "sublimes" turning directly from a solid to a gas (absorbing heat from around it).

IF solid dry ice slowly disappears completely is this a physical or chemical change?

The "disappearance" of dry ice is a physical change. What you refer to as disappearance is actually sublimation where the solid CO2 turns to a gas without going through the liquid phase. Dry is is solid CO2 and when it disappears it becomes gaseous CO2, so it is a physical change.
