Disney with Food Allergy

[belleatheart]

Hi, this isn't my first trip to WDW, but this is my first trip with a newly discovered food allergy. Soy which is in everything! I really liked when they had the chicken strips since those were not processed but everyone is now saying nuggets which means processes. I am just curious if anybody out there has a similiar allergy and how they did CS. I am not as much concerned about the TS since we just let them know ahead of time and what not.

I can't help you, but I am sure someone can!

Moving to main dining board for more reviews.

I know that folks back have reported that the CS locations have the ingredient lists for menu items. That may help.

good luck and let us know how you make out

I can't help, but Disney is very good about accomdating people with allergies. You should have no problem finding out the information you need.

Hi There

Did your tests come up with just Soy? Just curious. I have a wheat/corn/soy allergy. Thank heavens I am not allergic to dairy. I cannot live without ice cream. Sorry got off track!

There's actually a really good thread on food allergies on the dis-abilities board. You should go there and read through the sticky on handling food allergies at WDW.

At the coutner service you basically ask for the ingredient list that is printed for people with food allergies. They will just hand it to you to read.

I found plenty to eat while there!

The restaurants are a mixed experience. Some good, some okay but all better than what I experience at home. I basically stick with fruits/veggies/protein (no glazes) when I eat out. At Disney I can usually experience more.

When you check in at your TS restaurants be sure that your soy allergy is noted.

Good Luck.

I cant speak for soy allergies but my daughter has peanut and tree nut allergies and disney is wonderful trying to accomadate them

When you make your table service reservations make sure you mention the allergy they will give you the phone number to reach the chef and advise you to call that line aprox 1 week before you arrive to go over any questions either might have.

check out the disability boards or do a search on allergies and you will come up with Brenda Bennetts email she will help you alot as well.

Hope this helps

Thank You so much. Yea i have dairy too, but that i can control. It is just lactose intolerance so I just have to watch my intake and I have medication to control it. Though its like when you go somewhere and say I am allergic to milk, they go oh we can sub soy, um allergic to the too, how about rice milk? It's entertaining. I will deff. try the disabilities page.

Have you tried almond milk? I buy it at the grocery store and really like it, I use it for cereal and smoothies. I also like Rice Cream. I have to limit dairy but not allergic either.

Maybe I can save you a trip to the disabilities board. Here is Brenda's email.

I also suggest emailing Brenda Bennett, we did this a few years ago, as our eldest DD has multiple food allergies, and she emailed us plenty of information . Our DD had a fabulous time and was safe the whole trip
