Contacting WDW Ahead of Time About Allergies

[lucyem]

The WDW web site indicates that with 72 hours notice about allergies that they can make alternate food etc. Has anyone any experience with this? Did it go smoothly? Any advice?

Our young son has an anaphylactic dairy allergy. Cross contamination is our greatest concern. On the other hand we want to make sure he is able to enjoy some of the food on the trip.

Please check the DISabilities board for lots and lots of info and experiences with this!

Good luck - from all accounts, Disney does a great job dealing with food allergies. Many people say it's the only place they can comfortably vacation due to food allergy issues.

I would contact special diets at specialdiets@disneyworld.com

You can get a lot of information from the diet team about where to go for Counter Service meals and also they have a form that you can fill out with all of your ADR's that will be sent to the chefs at the restaurants.

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.
