Hello,

How does one go about handling special dietary requests? My DH is allergic to onion and would like to make sure he doesn't have any in his food at TS restaurants as that could make for an eventful experience! Thanks!
 
my ds is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts and here's what we did...

when i made our ADRs i had it noted... the CM then gave me the direct phone number for the specific restaurant... 24-48 hours before our ADR i called the direct number and gave them my date/time/confirm # and told them again about his allergies... when we checked in at the podium, i again told them he was allergic... when we sat down i told our server... the server sent a chef over and he/she went thru the foods that were known to be unsafe for ds (if it were a buffet, he/she walked the entire line with us saying "yes/no/yes/yes/no/no/etc)... the chef then offered (or if he/she did not, i asked) to special make anything i thought ds would like that was unsafe for him in its current form... for us that was mostly desserts... and then we ATE! :)
 
The chefs at the TS restaurants have been consistently GREAT about making stuff special based on whatever dietary restrictions we were under at the time. They seems to revel in the opportunity to do something off-the-menu.

The CS restaurants were not quite so accommodating, I'm afraid.
 
The only thing I would add to gigi's post is that when you check in at your resort, you can go to the concierge desk and get a print out of all your ADRs. Be sure that it lists the allergy, and ask the CM there to call each restaurant and remind them.

The concierge desk at most resorts used to be called "Guest Services." It does not imply that you are on a concierge floor.
