GREAT Allergy Info from DISNEY WORLD!

Special Diets is very quick about responding to emails, usually within a day. The form they email you is the best way to let them know of your dining requirements/requests. There's a section on it where you list what your child is able to eat. They take care of notifying the chefs at each restaurant you have ADRs, so they can plan ahead and get special food if necessary. We've found most chefs at Disney to be extremely helpful and accomodating.

My kids have a number of severe food allergies and I am planning to email special diets about 4 weeks before we go.
We have made ADRs at California Grill, CRT for lunch, Le Cellier, and Ohana Breakfast. If any one with a food allergy child has eaten at any of these I would love your input and experiance. My 3yr old dd is ana to dairy and severely allergic to corn, treenuts, shellfish, nitrates and sulfates. We also avoid corn, peanuts, treenuts, and shellfish in my 18month old ds. (only pos for corn issues)
I would appreciate any advice. We went with dd in 07 but only had to avoid dairy, nuts, fish-much harder this time around.
Thanks,
-S

my son is anaphylactically allergic to shellfish and fish(even with cross-contamination) and my 5yr old DD allergic to dairy(andsevere exzema) and we have eaten at CRT and Ohana numerous times. I can say we have had really good experiences there and the chefs went out of their way to make something the kids wanted. I would also suggest checking out the menus online just to see what choices you would have at each place. The chefs will do a good job being aware of what goes into everything. And will make sure only clean(non-contaminated) hands and utensils prepare and serve the food. We have also done the Disney cruise where they used separate grills just so there wouldn't be any cross-contamination. I hope it is a great experience for you.
