    11 year old w/ FA and ASD ordering kid's meals

    We have been to WDW world almost every year (missed one) with allergic DD18 since she was DD7 and never had a problem at any TS restaurant. The server or chef that talked with us about the allergies were often just happy that something fairly easy worked for her. It's often the first question we...

    Kimonos

    We usually stay for at least part of our trip at BC/YC, in part because of its proximity to Kimonos. DW and I both have dairy intolerances and DD18 has dairy, egg, peanut, tree nut allergies. I know that past experience does not guaranty future success, but we have eaten there at least 15 times...

    Dairy free options at DLR

    We've had good luck getting dairy free waffles at character breakfasts. I believe that they also have them at the Grand Californian quick service and perhaps others. DD17 is allergic to dairy, egg, nuts, and peanuts and we've had nearly as good of luck in Disneyland as WDW. She does like things...

    AK Ultimate Nights of Adventure?

    We just did this a little less than two weeks ago. We met near Dinosaur and then in order rode Dinosaur, Navi, FOP, dinner/snack at Satuli, Kilamanjaro, and Everest. Afterwards, we were led to the excellent view area in front of Everest to watch ROL. No one in our group used an ECV, but I do not...

    16 year old, Keys to the Kingdom Tour question

    We just did this with DD17 earlier this month and although she brought her ID, she wasn't asked. I am not sure, but our tour had a youngish girl traveling alone in the group and I believe I saw them ask her for her ID when she arrived with what I assume to be her father. I'm guessing it is...

    O'hana breakfast rookie question

    Also, wanted to chime in that we did O'hana with DD17 years ago. She is allergic to dairy, egg, tree nuts, and peanuts. They brought her mickey waffles and potatoes cooked with vegetable oil. I imagine they could accommodate a kosher meal. Also, because of her allergies she eats cereal (with...

    Looking into a trip, is it worth it vs 'other' Hawaii resorts

    I agree with the others in this thread who suggest a split stay at Aulani and a Waikiki hotel. Because of traffic patterns, we have found it easy to explore the island from our Waikiki spot and the $ savings are a plus. We are lucky enough to go twice a year, but enjoy Oahu because of the mix of...

    Cabana...safe?

    Just thought I'd provide another user experience. Like Loveallthings mouse, we've had quite a few cabana stays and always felt comfortable leaving a bag with books, snacks, and other lesser valuables in the cabana. We only carried our room keys, so we mainly used the safe for phones and a...

    Worried about 20-somethings not enjoying trip!

    DW and I made two trips before DD17 was born, one was just the two of us and the other we brought a mutual friend in his 20s. Our friends thought it was an odd trip as we don't seem like the type that would enjoy Disney as young adults, but we had a great time. I'm sure that some young adults...

    Villa booked, now car questions

    A thought for Hanauma Bay is to take a tour bus there from Waikiki. We have gone there a couple times from Waikiki by tour bus. I believe the buses leave from many of the Waikiki hotels. We used the Outrigger one that was next to our condo. It was easier for us even though we had a car because...

    Why do people say "there are tons of things to do at Aulani" ?

    We went to Aulani twice a year for its first four years, regrettably DD17 is no longer interested in staying. We stayed 4 nights the first time and found that was too long for us. We subsequently shortened our stay to to nights. For all of the trips, we have stayed in Waikiki for the majority of...

    Beach Club CL or AKL CL

    I agree with gharter. I like BC CL for proximity to EPCOT, HS, the Boardwalk area, and Stormalong Bay, but if the two hotels switched locations, I could easily say I prefer AKL CL. I prefer the Savanah view, the lounge, and the hotel theming at AKL, but it is so hard to give up the range of...

    Napa Rose first time, any tips?

    gottalovepluto, I do not doubt DLgal's experience with the lounge being busy. I just wanted to provide our experience which has been different. We have been going once a year at different times (summer, Christmas vacation, President's week, Spring Break) and hit the lounge for drinks and food...

    Marriage proposal view question.

    I third the secret beach suggestion. It's really nice down there and often private.

    Food allergies—Disney’s luau

    Sounds like you are on top of it! I forgot about the prevalence of pineapple in sauces. DD17 likes things so plain, that the only sauce she will use is soy sauce. She has had good luck getting plain chicken, rice, pasta, and vegetables with olive oil and salt (oh, and french fries). We were...

    Food allergies—Disney’s luau

    DD17 has all of these allergies but the fruit. She generally does not eat fruit because she has an aversion towards sweetness. For breakfast at Makahiki, they were able to make her "allergy waffles" absent any of her allergens. She had that with bacon and I believe they made her some fried...

    GF beach pool refurb. start date?

    Knowing that the booking CM's are not always informed, take this with a grain of salt. My TA made reservations for 4/2-4/6 at GF for me and was told the Beach pool was not scheduled to open until April 6 (maybe 7th if I am not remembering clearly). Again, this may not have been correct at the...

    Extra Fastpasses for club level guests?????

    I don't have much additional information but I thought I'd add my experience. My apologies, I was going to put the responses in a different color font but couldn't figure it out.

    Food allergies—Disney’s luau

    DD17 has severe allergies to egg, dairy, tree nuts, and peanuts. We have not been for two years, but have visited 7 times, so we are familiar with the options. The Luau did not have a buffet then, but we were accommodated at all the restaurants on the property. Depending on your allergies, I...

    Dog now allowed... how to deal with allergies

    Our daughter is allergic to animal dander, and urine. We have been happy with the "deep" cleaning Disney provides for the 20+ visits we have done in the last 10 years. We did not the first time and she was having a reaction (happened worse at the Royal Pacific at Universal twice). Her allergy is...
