Hi there, Danielle!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks so much for stopping by with your question about
dining at Walt Disney World Resort! It sounds like you're planning a family visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth - how exciting! The only thing better than a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation is sharing it with the people you love. I'm happy to help you plan a memorable experience for your family!
Danielle, I visit the Walt Disney World Resort frequently with a family member who has food allergies and I'm constantly impressed with how Cast Members and chefs are able to accommodate special requests! While allergy menus are available at all dining locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort, ingredient lists may also be available upon request at select locations.
When you arrive at a restaurant, notify your host (or cashier, if at a
quick-service location) of the specific allergy so that the Cast Members can ensure that the chef is informed. In my experience, at a
table-service restaurant, the chef will visit your table to provide you with different allergy-friendly meal options. Based on your discussion with the chef, a wonderful
allergy-friendly dish will be prepared! Quick-service locations will also take special care to accommodate any food restrictions based on similar communication between the Guest, cashier, and kitchen.
Did you know that there is a team of Cast Members at Walt Disney World Resort dedicated to ensuring that the special dietary requests of Guests are met? Danielle, I encourage you to reach out to the Special Diets team before your visit by emailing Special.Diets@DisneyWorld.com and requesting a
Special Dietary Request Form approximately 14 days before your scheduled arrival. The Special Diets team will help you with navigating dining at Walt Disney World Resort with a food allergy and will ensure that your daughter has a seamless experience!
Danielle, I hope that you find this information helpful as you continue to plan a magical and memorable Walt Disney World Resort vacation for your family. I'm wishing you lots of laughs and many marvelous meals together! If you have any additional planning questions, please stop back by planDisney again soon. For specific questions about dining with food allergies, you're welcome to
reach out to me directly if you'd like, as I do have recent experience in this area!
See ya real soon,
Lauren
