Kids with Food Allergies

[AggieAriel]

Hi- we are going to Disney this November with my family and my sister's family. I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 2 month old. My 2 1/2 year old is allergic to milk, eggs and peanuts. We were thinking about doing one of the meal packages but I am concerned that we won't find enough things for her to eat. Does anyone have any experience with this? Last time we went, it wasn't a concern.
Thanks

Welcome to the Dis!

Disney is known for being fantastic about food allergies. When you make your ADR's, make sure you tell them about the allergies and they will note it on all your reservations and they should give you the name & phone # for the person to talk to. When you go to the TS restaurants (as long as you give them 72hrs notice) remind them again just in case (but they usually ask) The Chef will come out to go over the menu, or in the case of buffet restaurants, the Chef will come out and take you through the buffet to point out what is safe, and will make seperate "safe" food. Even at the CS restaurants (no advance notice), tell them the allergies when you order and they will do their best to make a safe meal for you.

We took our dd who is allergic to peanuts in September. At the CS restaurants, we mentioned her allergy and they pointed us to the foods that were safe. At all the TS restaurants, the chef came out and spoke with us. At Chef Mickey's, they had the Mickey waffles on the buffet next to a peanut butter pizza. The chef made her a special batch of waffles from the kitchen and brought her own little bottles of syrup. She loved the visit from the chef. Also, all the TS restaurants were able to subsitute a dessert for her. They did a wonderful job with her allergies!
