Hoop Dee Doo with food allergies

[Ripey]

We are going to Disney in November. DH really wants to do Hoop Dee Doo, but we are going with my parents and my mom is allergic to dairy, eggs, and peanuts. I am worried she will have nothing to eat there. Has anyone with these allergies had a good experience?

WDW is great with allergies. Call Disney dining and let them know ahead of time. Everywhere we have eaten on-site has been great with gluten free, shellfish, tree nuts and dairy.

HDDR has been one of my BEST meals for the last two years and I'm allergic to the same things plus many more foods! Be sure to contact special diets and fill out the form. You can always request that a chef contact you (I often do but my list of avoidances is over 25 so I like to discuss the plan with the chefs if I'm going to keep the ADR), but I have no doubt that they will be able to accommodate her even if the chef simply talks to you at the beginning of the meal. Be sure your server knows she needs to talk to a chef if you don't get in contact with them ahead of time. They always know I'm coming and sit us right by the kitchen which is also very close to the stage!

They always make me grilled chicken, ribs, corn, sautéed veggies, mashed potatoes with rice milk, and roasted cinnamon apples as dessert.


I hope she has a great meal!

We dined there with allergies to dairy and gluten and we had plenty to eat. They were a bit lacking in alternatives (no dressing on salad, some items they just left off like a safe bread alternative to the cornbread) and the dessert was a scoop of sorbet, so not entirely exciting...BUT it was a wonderful show, a great time had by all And no one went hungry! Some photos of that meal in my link.

Hoop Dee Doo is wonderful with allergies! They will try and get as close to the regular offerings as she wants or they will happily make something to her liking. I often get grilled chicken, ribs with no sauce, and fresh veggies. Desserts are tough but I'm usually so stuffed with the large portions they make me I don't mind.
