Help -Egg & Peanut Allergies

[coach323]

My 5 year old daughter has extreme food allergies to eggs and peanuts. Any suggestions on how I can be sure that food will be egg and peant free at Disney. It is really frustrating to ask at resteraunts and have them tell us that they don't think the food has eggs in it. I really don't want to risk my daughter's allergic reaction on a waiter who doesn't want to bother to find out the correct information. Thanks.

You might also want to ask this on teh Disabilities board.

First, call every restaurant IN ADVANCE. Make all your PS's IN ADVANCE. When you call IN ADVANCE, speak to the chef and let them know when you'll be eating there and what the allergies are.

They will work with you to come up with meals that are safe, even if they have to cook something not on the menu.

But if you don't call IN ADVANCE there is no guarantees.

You can get the phone numbers for each restaurant from CRO.

When youa re seated, let the server know that you're DD has allergies and that you've spoken to the chef, but need to talk to them before you order. The chef will come out to teh table to talk to you.

They really are wonderful there about accomodating allergies.

The key is making the arrangements IN ADVANCE

Like ducklite said, they are wonderful dealing with food allergies. I make PS for most all of our meals and when I make them I ask the CM to note on every one that I am allergic to eggs. Then they give me the direct phone numbers to the restaurants. About two days before my PS I call the restaurants and make sure they have something I can have.

Before even making my PS I look over the menus and pick out what I will most likely eat. This way, when I talk to someone at the restaurant I can make sure that what I want is safe for me. My biggest concern was the Princess Storybook Breakfast. But I called two days before and the chef wasn't available. Within 1/2 hour he called me back. In my message I had told him what my allergies were. Before he called me back and got the box that waffles (their substitute for eggs for me) came in and read every ingredient to me to make sure it was absolutely safe. I thought that was so nice of him. During breakfast there the chef personally brought out my food. Then he came back to check on me to make sure that I was happy with it. Those waffles were wonderful. If I could only find the same ones here!

The point of all this is to let you know that they are wonderful about accommodating food allergies.

Hope you have a fabulous time!!!

Since I don't know where you are planning on dining, I would advise you to avoid Boma. It seems like I have heard that they use peanuts in several of their dishes. With it being a buffet there is just too much of a chance for cross contamination. Peanut allergies seem to be the worse for cross contamination.
