Has dining with food allergies outside of top 8 improved?

Hey all,

It's been awhile since I've been on the forums. We're planning a trip next spring with my kids' auntie who has multiple complex severe food allergies. When we took my son on his first trip in 2018, he had an anaphalacitc cinnamon allergy, and at the time they pretty much refused to accommodate. No chefs would speak to us, and none of the "allergy menus" were helpful to us. Luckily he was still mostly on baby food at the time, and we just fed him pouches galore on the trip.

We're hoping that my kids' auntie will be able to eat orally again by May (she's 95% tube fed currently) and if she is, we will be balancing multiple anaphalactic food allergies incluing apple, pineapple, chocolate, banana, and tree nuts.

I'm really wanting this to be a good trip for her, but I'm terrified we're not going to find any restaurants that can accommodate her food allergies.

Hopefully someone with direct experience will chime in, our allergy meals are preference not required so it is easy for us. With a somewhat recent death at Disney Springs due to a food allergy I think they would be even less accommodating than previously. Personally with that death happening I would not trust that protocols would be followed and I would bring my own food if a reaction would be severe, not worth the risk.
