Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel Kathryn!
As the momma and wife of people with
dietary allergies (and generally a
healthy diet), I completely understand your desire to scout out snack options. The great thing is that Walt Disney World is one of the few places that I feel entirely comfortable traveling. Disney is committed to providing
a safe AND delicious experience for all of its Guests!
You will find healthy snacks in quite a few of the
retail and Quick Service locations throughout the Parks. I have discovered
Snacks with Character, including Enjoy Life products at
Sunshine Seasons in Epcot, as well as at
Anaheim Produce in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. As always, the snack selection is subject to change, but healthy snacks have become the norm rather than the exception.
I have twin boys, and one of them has a significant dairy allergy while the other doesn’t. To make sure that he doesn’t feel left out, I always make sure to bring a few of his allergy-friendly snacks with me into
the Parks. This way, if we can’t find something he can eat (which is very rare), or if he needs to eat something RIGHT NOW (which is NOT rare!), I always have something on hand that is safe. We also note allergies on our advanced dining reservations, and tell the greeting Cast Member wherever we eat, so that everyone is informed!
My fellow panelist, Amy, has a
fantastic list of places to find healthy snacks throughout the Parks. I would add
Thirsty River Bar & Trek Snacks - their vegetables with hummus is a delicious must for us! Keep an eye out for the
Disney Check at your dining locations. It is the easiest way to spot
healthy options for your family.
Kathryn, if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to come back. See ya’ real soon!
