Enjoy Life Products - where to find

[glevan]

We will be visiting Disney next week. Our son has several allergies, so we have contact Disney to be prepared. They have been great on the previous trips! However, since the last trip, we have also started limiting our son's exposure to wheat/gluten (in addition to the milk and eggs that we have been avoiding). Because of this, the EnjoyLife products will be great. However, we're unsure where to find these products...does anyone know?

I looked through the allergy info we got from WDW special diets dept, but I also didn't see any place in the parks that specifically listed EnjoyLife products as part of their menus. (despite being on their list for brands available)
My son is allergic to milk, eggs, & peanuts so we'll be on the lookout for some of the allergen free products as well.

Hope you can find some, and do report back after your trip! We leave in 2 weeks and I'd love to know what you find out...

Have fun!

I was just reading through some other food allergy threads. One from August had this info:

...Enjoy Life cookies are easily found at AK (I think ever CS locations has them) and DHS (every CS location EXCEPT Starring Rolls seems to have them) but they're not carried anywhere at Epcot and only at Main Street Bakery in MK...

that gives us a start...

I was served these for dessert along with a French Meadow brownie (has eggs in it) at Tusker House in AK.

Thanks. FYI, I enjoyed your blog. By "dairy free", do you focus on milk only (ie, exclusive of eggs)? Our son is very allergic to both.

Here's what I have listed for CS locations for Enjoy Life cookies from our August trip.
MK: Main Street Bakery (they weren't out; we had to ask and the CM initially said they don't carry them but agreed to look when we said Special Diets told us they have them there)
Epcot: nowhere
DHS: ABC Commissary, Backlot Express, Toy Story Pizza Planet, Studio Catering Co. Flatbread Grill (it's weird that they're not at Starring Rolls since they seem to be everywhere else but I can assure you they do NOT have them there)
AK: Flame Tree BBQ, Restaurantosaurus, Kusafari bakery, Pizzafari

It looks like my notes match NickyNoodle's.

We got Enjoy Life chocolate bars at Sunshine Seasons and Coral Reef in Epcot.

My 12 year old is gluten, milk and egg free as well. The only packaged desserts that are free of all of these are the Enjoy Life products. You can get Tofutti ice cream at all sorts of places and the Itzkadoozie popsicles and frozen strawberry bars are free of all of these as well as is the popcorn (very easy snack options).

FYI: None of the allergy breads will be safe including the hamburger and hot dog buns or the Kinnikinnick muffins that a few places will carry. They all contain eggs. When we stayed at Pop Century, Chef Dan searched for a bread that would be safe for DD12 (she also can't have yeast so they are very few and far between) and boy did she love the bread. I hadn't even been aware of this particular bread and I'm now switching breads because this one's so much better Food For Life Whole Grain Brown Rice bread. The chefs at POFQ made up a batch of brownies and pizzas just for my girls because the regular stuff aren't safe for them (I've since changed how I make my brownies to be more like theirs; they really are YUMMY!!! Bob's Red Mill using apple sauce instead of eggs and apple juice instead of milk). There's good reason why we eat most of our CS meals at our resort.

Thanks so much of this great info...and, I may try to make some of those brownies this weekend! I'm not much of a baker though, so we'll see...
