Can Disney do low sodium diets?

[rpk1951]

Do counter service and sit down meals have low sodium options? I will call and add special dining request, but wanted to know if it is doable? I am sitting with my wife in the hospital and she needs low fat and low salt diet (especially low salt). We have a trip in a few months and now need to get ready.

On the DisABILITIES board, you can probably get more information, as well as the contact info for Disney Special Diets.

Table service have always been very accomodating when we have travelled with folks with various dietary needs. Even at buffets, we have had chefs prepare special plates for certain situations.

Counter service is a bit harder, as the kitchens there do not really have the capability to change recipes or produce off-menu items as easily as TS kitchens do. Here it may be a better option to pack lunches with things that are safe, and picnic in the parks rather than navigate menus full of things which can be decidedly not low-fat or low-sodium. There will be some options out there, like salads and such, which would work, but you'll need to do the research ahead of time and seek guidance from Disney dining.

I would suggest going to the disABILITIES Forum and look at Post #3 of the disABILITIES FAQs. There is a large section in that post dealing with special dietary needs, as well as many related links. You can get directly to the disABILITIES FAQs by following the link in my signature.

This is a very common topic of discussion in the disABILITIES Forum.
