On another note WHY OH WHY WOULD THEY GET RID OF THE EARS ON THE MICKEY BARS?????
I hadn't thought of that.
The only reason I am making a guess is because on other threads here I have seen people mention that certain food products are not made on the ship but require a local supplier. Something specialized like that might not be available overseas... we'll cross our fingers that they have the Mickey bars when we both travel AND that they are safe at that time!
When you make ADRs they give you a number to call. If you call that number you can give them your email address and they will send you tons of info on the food inside the parks. I do this every trip just to make sure nothing has changed. It lists food stands, etc.
Yes, anyone can make that mistake. The part I was angry about with that incident was that it was written right on the box! If he would have actually read the ingredients like he said he did, he would have seen it.
I did that for our February trip this year. The list they sent did us no good. Most of the counter service places we set out to eat at because of the list, didn't have the items that were on the list. I also encountered many rude people in line behind me when I had to read the binder each time we got in line for food. Our experience with the food allergies is new. Before last summer, he was eating peanuts and was fine. Before I had a child with food allergies I would have NEVER treated someone that way. I just don't know what people are thinking sometimes.
Besides peanuts, he is also allergic to pea's. The chef at 50's PTC told us the pasta marinara dish with grilled chicken was ok. He ended up having an allergic reaction. Come to find out, the elbow macaroni they had was made with chick pea flour.
Our Feb trip wasn't the best. There were some VERY helpful CM's and Chefs but not all the time. We went back in June and I cooked in our villa for dinner and made DS's lunch each day to bring with us. It didn't feel too relaxed for me since I still doing what I usually do at home. I've been reading a lot about the cruises and I'm hoping and praying these things don't happen once on the ship. I have read much better reviews for DCL than I had for allergies at WDW, so I'm hopeful.
Edited to add..... This is all another point about consistency. I think WDW has a good idea going with the whole binder thing. They just need to keep up with it. Each time a new food product comes in it should be someone's job to put the label in the binder. BAM!! Problem solved. Parents can read the binder and it will be updated and consistent.

I will tell you that Kona Cafe' at the Polynesian has been FANTASTIC too. We have gone there 3 times since knowing about the allergies. O'hana was also EXTREMELY helpful. But I will not take him back there mostly because there is just too much peanut stuff to deal with. He didn't have a reaction and they worked overtime to make sure he was safe which we really appreciated. But I think we will save that one for a date night with me and dh only....just to be on the safe side. We have also had very good experiences at Hoop Dee Doo! No problems there at all. So those have been our favorites the past couple of trips. I'm glad to hear good things about Chef Mickey's. We haven't tried any buffet's since finding out about the allergies.
