Select locations at Walt Disney World will be trialling new allergy-friendly menus at a range of restaurants during the next month.

Restaurants taking part in the trial include:

Flying Fish Café at Disney's BoardWalk
ABC Commissary, Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant and The Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney's Hollywood Studios
Kona Cafe and Captain Cooks at Disney's Polynesian Resort
World Premiere Food Court at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort.
The allergy friendly menu will mean that in some cases, it will no longer be necessary for a chef to visit the guest at the table, and instead selections can be made directly from the special menu. For any allergies that are not covered by the menu, or if the guest prefers to speak to a chef, that option will remain available.

The test is expected to run from September 9 through to October 20 2014.

Following the limited August test of allowing the purchase of MagicBands without an existing RFID ticket or MagicBand, Disney is now expanding the program to more retail locations.

Expect to be able purchase MagicBands without linking to a My Disney Experience account at most Walt Disney World locations, and even those off-site, including the Disney stores at Orlando International Airport, Hotel Plaza Blvd hotels, and the Outlet Malls.

The link-it-later option only applies to regular, solid colored MagicBands, and does not include the limited edition or graphic MagicBands.

The last day of operation for the Tomorrowland kiosks in the Space Mountain gift shop and Cosmic Ray's will be September 12 2014.

Once removed, the only option for charging will be to use the in-park USB ports or 110v outlets, located in Storybook Circus, Space Mountain gift shop, and the Rapunzel area restrooms. Those options will require you to bring your own charger.
