Hi there, Donna, and welcome to planDisney!
Disney is absolutely incredible when it comes to accommodating food allergies and dietary restrictions! I actually just had to do this exact same thing for my own reservation recently, so I totally get where you're coming from. As a food allergy mom who's seen firsthand how seriously they take guest safety and comfort, you're definitely in great hands. Disney truly wants you to "Be Our Guest" in the safest way possible!
Donna, to add this info to your reservations, you've got a couple of pretty simple options. The easiest way is to call
Disney Dining directly and let them know about the specific allergies or dietary needs. That's exactly what I ended up doing for my recent dinner reservation, and they were so helpful and thorough about getting everything noted properly. They can add all those important details right to your reservation, like all those specific allergies, and any celebration you might be having, too! That way, the restaurant will be prepared when you arrive.
You can also add allergy information through the
My Disney Experience app or by logging in through the website, and clicking through the modify button; though sometimes calling directly gives you that extra peace of mind that everything's been properly noted.
Here's what I absolutely love about
Disney's approach: When you arrive at your restaurant, make sure to mention the allergies again to your server. They'll typically get a chef or allergy-trained cast member to come talk with you directly about safe options and preparation methods. I've watched this happen so many times, and it's honestly amazing how thorough and knowledgeable they are! They really make sure you can "taste the magic" safely.
Most Disney restaurants can accommodate pretty much any allergy or dietary restriction, from gluten-free to nut allergies to vegan needs. Whether you're dining with Stitch at ‘Ohana or grabbing a Dole Whip at Aloha Isle, they really go above and beyond to make sure everyone can enjoy that Disney dining magic safely.
You're going to have such a wonderful and worry-free dining experience, Donna! Disney truly makes it possible for everyone to enjoy the magic.
I hope you have the most magical trip and delicious visit! Please come back and see us again if you have any more planning questions.
See ya real soon,
Emille
