Disney and a Tree Nut Allergy?

[Luvin*Livvy]

My daughter has a potential tree nut allergy.."potential" meaning, she was scratch tested POSITIVE, and blood tested NEGATIVE, and haven't done the next step yet (b/c she is too young).....so she has NO EPI-pen.

ANY advice as far as WHAT we should stear clear of (besides the obvious), items that don't come in "orginal" containers, etc..since some things won't have labels for me to "happily" check!

And what to do at restaurants? Let them know with an ADR? Let them know when we are seated? Only thing is she is NOT part of the DDP....and I don't know if that matters!

Thanks so much! Hoping someone has some helpful advice!

When you make your ADRS be sure to explain to the CM on the phone about your daughters allergy. At dinner a Chef will be there to explain what she can and cannot have.

I have a tree allergy and just told the hostess to tell the waitress. She would usually get the Chef to come out and talk to us. Disney is wonderful at handling allergies. Have fun.

My 7yo has a tree nut allergy also.

#1 I would definatly get an epi (2 actually)- don't leave home or the dr's office without getting one - my ds' wears one around his waist at all times. I've seen him have an anaphylactic reaction and it's the scariest thing I've ever dealt with. I carry one epi and he carries one.

Disney is amazing at accomodating allergies - only thing we found was there were not many deserts available for people with nut allergies. Chef always came to our table prior to us ordering or always took us around the buffets to let us know what to avoid and what was ok. Make sure you add it to your ADR's when you are making them.

Have no fear, Disney will take care of you! My son has a nut allergy and every restaurant we went to it's the first thing they asked. When he said yes the chef personally comes out to your table and makes suggestions, even when it came time for dessert. Rest assured.
