Trail's End is the only restaurant we have walked out of without getting an allergy safe meal. This is just our experience and I hope that others have had better experiences. We experienced a very uncooperative chef. When the chef came to our table, I explained my children's allergies and he...

I've questioned the same thing with the chefs because I've gotten the same information about Tofutti and Rice Dream. If you're not comfortable with the warning (I'm not really) then my suggestion would be to work with the chefs so your DD has a safe alternate dessert. It may have to be fruit...

liftn and DebbieB, Thank you for the replies. My DD is writing a paper on Star Wars Weekend and wanted to know how many people attended it so she could start her paper with that fact. Hmm. She'll have to think of something else. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Does anyone know how many people attend Hollywood Studios on average in May? We're actually looking for the average number of attendees to Star Wars Weekend but figured that number would be hard to find. If anyone knows, the information would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The dance off is part of the Hyperspace Hoopla at the end of each day of Star Wars Weekend (I think around 7 p.m.). Star wars weekends this year are the last two weekends in May and the first two weekends in June, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We always enjoy attending the events at Star Wars...

I'd have to say Grand Floridian. Though we've never stayed there, we visit it the GF each time we're there over the holidays. It's especially festive with live Christmas music in the background. We've stayed at Wilderness Lodge over the holidays and it is indeed beautiful as well.

I agree with the information provided by the other posters. My DH has had Meniere's disease for many years now ans is on a very low sodium diet also. Here are some things that have helped him during trips to WDW. When you call for your dining reservations tell them you have a special...

Biggest mistakes IMHO are not taking enough breaks when someone in the party needs one and forcing kids to ride thrill rides they're not ready for. So sad to watch children crying hysterically as they are being forced on a ride; not very magical.

On an attachment from Brenda Bennett a year or so ago I noticed that the oil they pop the popcorn in is produced in a facility that also processes coconut oils. Just wanted to let you know if you are checking for cross-contamination possibilities. My Ds loves popcorn but it's out of our...

So sorry your daughter had an allergic reaction. What a scary situation. I want to thank you for posting and sharing your experience. As a parent of a child with life-threatening food allergies I really appreciate learning about other peoples experiences. I have to admit that I though about...

We returned Sunday and stayed in cabin 2619 where they had a combo VHS/DVD player. Have a great trip!

We just got back from another wonderful and safe trip with DS who has a severe peanut allergy. We noticed the kid's menu at Cosmic Rays in the Magic Kingdom has changed and they now serve Smucker's Uncrustables peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Unfortunately this now puts Cosmic Ray's...

If you ask, the chef can bring the cartons of Tofutti and Rice Dream out to you for you to read. I believe the Rice Dream that you get at the grocery store has a 'may contain' statement about peanuts and tree nuts. At LeCellier in Canada the chef had some raspberry sorbet that he prepared and...

Here are some of my kids' favorite non-character meal restaurants. They are 8 and 9. LeCellier Mama Melrose 50s Prime Time Cafe Cosmic Rays (counter service I know) Liberty Tree Tavern (lunch) We go to Disney twice a year and always put these restaurants on our list.

We have visited Disney many times with our peanut allergic son. He is touch sensitive to peanuts (class 6 allergy to peanuts) and we always wipe down the bars and seats. When we go to a restaurant he doesn't sit down until his chair and table area (including under the table - it's really gross...

Hi, I have a son with severe food allergies. Disney is the safest place, in my opinion, for my son to have a restaurant meal. Tell the person taking your table service dining reservations about the food allergies and they will note it in the reservation. They will also give you a phone...

Hi, We were in this situation two years ago. We went to Typhoon Lagoon because it seemed to be milder for the younger kids. My older child was just over the height limit for the pre-schoolers area. She was able to stay in the pre-schooler area with my younger son. No one said anything to...

The chef at Chef Mickey's made a nut-free and dairy-free birthday cake for my child's birthday. We called ahead to arrange it. When you make your Advanced Dining Reservations they can give you the phone number to call. My kids were happy with the birthday cake.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did see the 2006 Disney copyright on the wdwnews homepage but wasn't sure if it was the real thing because there's nothing on the www.disneyworld page either about SWW dates. Maybe they are just slow to inform their reservation CMs.

Here's an interesting twist. I just called the 1-407-WDISNEY line and asked when Star Wars Weekends were scheduled and the phone operator said mid-May to mid-June. I told her that some internet sources (I didn't specify which) said that SWW was only going to be in June. She put me on hold to...
