I was at the second MNSSHP last night and decided to go for the allergy bag. I watched the disunplugged review and they appear to be tweaking the system a little and thought I would share...

edited to add: during MNSSHP they have trick or treating. This is the first year that someone with a dietary/allergy to the candy they hand out can still trick or treat. They use a teal bag with teal tokens handed out at the trick or treat lines that you can redeem for candy, cookies or non-food items before you leave.

When you get there, just follow the crowd to the bypass. This is where you'll get your bag and the first set of rich house candy. If your allergy it'll be a teal bag and you might need to remind the CMs that you don't get the candy and they will give you the teal coin. You can also get the bags from the castmember at the start of the line if for some reason you miss it or forgot to follow the crowd so don't panic.

When I first went around with my daughter I was getting the coins from the people handing out the candy. It didn't take long for them to not have them. What they started to do within the next 30 minutes or so was tell you to see the castmember at the start of the line. The rest of the night I didn't need to get in line, I just found the castmember that was watching the entrance with a sign and they had the tokens and none of them ran out the rest of the night.

It doesn't matter if you found 1 or 1000 coins. When you cash them in, there is a paper with what they have available for you. It was a collection of real fruit candies (gummie bears, sour worms, jelly beans, etc), a couple cookie choices, some other things I forget and some thanksgiving themed ornaments was the non-candy. (nothing special on the ornaments, not disney themed and those child safe thin foam sheet style ones). You pointed out what you can or can't have and they filled up your bag with as much as they could.

I like this system and I'm sure there is some children who miss out normally and very happy parents they do it this way. Once they smoothed out who was giving out the tokens it went easy...

Thanks @Accident. My friend will be very happy to find out he doesn't have to go through the whole line if he doesn't want to.
 
I'm sorry, allergic to what?

Some dietary restriction with the regular candy they hand out during trick or treating. This is the first year they have it so you can still trick or treat during MNSSHP but then you can select what is safe for you at the end of the night including non-candy alternatives. In the past it was go up to them and they let you pick something out but you missed out on the whole trick or treating at MK side of the party.

Or do what we did, and let the kiddo trick or treat, then swap it out at the hotel with candy we had pre-purchased. Then bring the other candy home to give to DH's coworkers.
