Food allergy thread???

[omniscientmommy]

Is there any way to get a designated food allergy thread? We have 3 people with 3 different sets of food allergies in our group and I wish there was a better way to find info versus just using the search function. Or having to hunt around on Disney's website and look at each menu.

Hi! Ex-cast member here and I can give you a little information. When I was with Disney, and I would assume this is still the case, when a party has more than 1 allergy and goes to a quick service window or a buffet the normal cast member is told to go up the chain of command and get a supervisor, who can best help make sure that all items ordered are good across multiple allergens. At buffets the chefs can even prep you plates in the kitchen to avoid any chance of cross contamination too!

Honestly the level of seriousness that Disney takes food allergens is the main reason I still willingly vacation with them. I actually trust them to not feed gluten to my mother with Celiac.

What sets of allergies do the three people have in particular? I can probably give some recommendations. Like if anyone in your party is allergic to dairy pineapple dole whip is vegan and gluten free and will eternally be a snack I hold up as a great option for most allergens (with the exception of coconut allergens, which it sadly does contain)

I am gluten free - allergy. My daughter is allergic to eggs. My husband's biggest issues are fish and tree nuts, if I listed out all his allergies it would be very long. He is able to avoid a lot of things by sticking to plain meats and potatoes at Disney.

We had a great experience at Disney this last trip with CMs and being very helpful during meals. I meant more that I wish there was a better blanket list. Especially during the food festivals. The holiday food booths were not easy to navigate. Maybe this will be my own personal mission to make something.
