Broken Jaw and Dining

[schmitty]

I broke my jaw and I can only eat through a straw for 6 weeks. Ive called the number about special food accommodations yesterday but they are only open on weekdays. What will I expect as far as food and accommodations are concerned.

Your request is an easy one thankfully. They can note your reservations that you are on a puree/liquid diet. When you get to the restaurant they will see the note and the chef will puree the food until it is just right. I say easy as I just did a DLR breakfast and he basically had to make my breakfast by hand especially for me becuase of allergies.

The staff is used to liquid meal requests and will help you enjoy your meals.

I had my jaw wired shut for six weeks after major surgery and it wasn't bad eating out. I didn't get to go to Disney but had several trips to local restaurants. I never could get used to "regular" food that had been pureed. So I pretty much lived on milk shakes and Carnation instant breakfast! I wish you good luck with the Disney restaurants. Sounds like they are used to the special requests. I did also have good luck asking restaurants to strain soup for me so that I ended up with just broth.

One thing to keep in mind with a jaw wired shut is that you will not be breathing as efficiently as you normally do and that could impact your stamina.

Hope you have a great trip despite the broken jaw!
