Sugar-free Disney??

[littlelambie]

AWe leave for Disneyland the end of the month, and have recently found out that ds has a sugar sensitivity. His behaviour is drastically changed when he has sugar. Is there any sugar free treats he could have in the parks?

I'm not familar with Disneyland but we've been to WDW several times and have some experience with sugar free items because my preschooler is a type 1 diabetic.

At least at WDW if you have a sit-down dinner reservation at one of their restaurants you can ask for foods to be prepared especially for your child without sugar.

I do want to note that many of the items we encounter are made with sugar alcohols (malitol/sorbitol) and that can give you TERRIBLE diarreha. I know there was a sugar-free brownie at WDW that tasted great but was made with these sweeteners and caused me a lot of problems (didn't bother my son because he ended up not wanting the brownie and I ate it!). We have no problems with aspartame (Equal) and Splenda however.

My dad is a diabetic and he has gone to Disney Land 3 times & he has never had any problem with getting a special prepared dessert for him. If you just tell your waiter your situation, they will provide for you as best that they can.

Hope you have fun in Disney Land!!!!
