Thanks for coming back to see us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Apryl!
As an allergy mom, I am so excited about the addition of
allergy-friendly menus at Walt Disney World Resort! We just took our first trip where we could utilize the new menus a few weeks ago and I found that they really helped me work with the Cast Members and Chefs to find tasty and safe options for my son. Currently, allergy-friendly menus are only available on-site at the actual restaurant and I am unsure of plans for rolling them out to be officially published elsewhere. However, in communicating with the Special Diets Team and restaurant Cast Members, I know there can sometimes be changes in suppliers and ingredients. So while the allergy-friendly menus are very helpful, I think it is always important to speak with the trained Cast Members, managers or Chefs when ordering so your allergy can be best accommodated.
Overall, we found during our last trip that ordering meals at Walt Disney World Resort with a food allergy was easier than it has ever been before. The allergy-friendly menus were a fantastic tool that I look forward to using again in our next visit, but I encourage you to use them in conjunction with the available expert Cast Members to have the best experience possible. Please let me know if you have any additional questions as you prepare for your trip!
T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
