Thread for allergy foods updates

[kkandaj]

It's late at night for me and I'm a bit confused. Did the button say "I ate my first dessert at babycakes"? Do they hand these buttons out at random?
Your son looks so happy with his donut. He's adorable.

Thanks for the compliments about DS. Yes, Babycakes just gave us the buttons. I was talking to them about how DS eats nothing out and that we were so excited he was getting to pick out a treat, that I had been waiting months for this. (It was a surprise trip to WDW and Babycakes for DS.) I told them I had been stalking them from Kansas City.

Also, I ordered extra treats to take back to the resort with us. It was about 90 degrees that day, so Babycakes kept them in their fridge with my name on them so we could finish shopping at Downtown Disney. Otherwise, the icing would've melted. I was very thankful they suggested that, as I probably wouldn't have thought of it.

If you plan on driving to Downtown Disney, drive in Entrance Two and park in the lot. Babycakes is inside the restaurant across from T-rex.

I found Enjoy Life cookies at Sunshine Seasons a couple weeks ago. There were a couple of omg gluten free products now that I think about it. I hope they aren't switching brands again. I can't eat anything that omg gluten free makes due to dairy and tapioca allergies. At the rate things keep changing, I'm going to be stuck with just plain meat and salad soon.

That's ok... I hear paleo is the healthiest way to eat anyway

UGH!! Just now finding this thread since we booked for Thanksgiving week. It will be our third trip to Disney. The other two went really well, as far as food allergies are concerned. Unfortunately, DS has allergies to eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts. It sounds like the new Udi's products all contain eggs . Maybe they'll have this supplier problem fixed by late November . I now have two major food concerns:
1) Safe bread/bun options-- Are there any?? In the past, they've given us the Ener-G rolls b/c their normal bread products are cross contaminated with nuts. Well, if the GF bread now has eggs in it, where does that leave us??
2) Safe desserts. Sometimes the regular ice cream is safe for us (the places that carry Edy's brand), sometimes we were given strawberry or itskadoozie pops, sometimes we were given Enjoy Life cookies. Which of these options are still available?

Hi Katie!

Aren't the regular hamburgers and hot dog buns safe for you? Were you still gluten free last trip? I've always thought the only thing stopping us from eating them was dairy, but maybe I'm forgetting something. I think they're purchased from a supplier rather than made in the Disney bakery. I would think a lot of TS places would have access to them.

Itsakadoozie bars are gone, but there is a similar triple blast popsicle. It's not as "cool" looking as the Itsakadoozie, but it is popsicle. I saw Enjoy Life at Sunshine Seasons and Flame Tree BBQ, but never at TS. We never really asked though, we just seemed to get offered Tofutti everywhere we went and DS likes that.

What a handsome guy, and I hope we get offered some buttons on our next trip! My milk, egg, peanut & mustard allergic daughter was so excited about babycakes last year.

I really wish they'd start carrying the SO Delicious coconut milk ice cream products. Those things are so good that even non-allergy ppl like them. We don't really trust tofutti and rice dream is just not so tasty.

How do I find out about QS menu's and their ingredients? My son has egg and oat allergies and we are trying to figure out where to eat

I had to look up paleo diets, very interesting. If i have to eat like a caveman, does that mean i get to talk like one too? Me eat food from ground.

Your DD is the first person I've heard of who also has a mustard allergy. People always give me weird looks when I mention that one. My dad thinks it weird; especially since we're of German descent. Then again, he spent years thinking my dairy allergy was "all in my head." Just a heads up, the hot dogs at Disney have mustard seed in them.

I was really excited about babycakes too until I noticed almost everything has tapioca in it. I can have the doughnuts and brownies but I get a bit ill just being around the bakery for more then 5 minutes. The coconut ice cream is so good. It's much better then tofutti and i'm allergic to rice dream anyway. I was glad when I found out our local Whole Foods carried it. It's probably just me, but tofutti always seems to taste like dirt. I like the sour cream though.

Cocunt ice cream ? I've never heard of it. Who makes it? Where can I find this at Disney? It sounds so yummy. I just have to try it.
I don't care much for tofutti either. I also really don't like soy milk.

thanks. Can I get this at disney? Anywhere at Disney? How about a super walmart? I'm from Canada and not familiar with this product.

I have not seen it at Disney, the pp said they would like it if you could get it at WDW.

The link I provided has a store locator. In the Central Florida area the only locations that show up are Publix and Whole Foods. (I think another health food store showed up as well). There is a Whole Foods just past the Super Walmart on Turkey Lake Rd.

Purely Decadent is another Coconut Milk ice cream. Incredibly good tasting. We buy it at Publix.

thank you. Wishful thinking on my part for it to be at Disney. I am going to have to try it. It sounds so delicious.

thanks. Another brand I'll have to try.

Special Diets seems to respond much better to specific food item questions compared to broad "where can my child eat" questions. If your DS has certain foods that he really likes call and ask for the ingredient list and call the restaurants where you have ADR's and call the resort where you are staying. Like the OP said calling seemed to work the best.

This!

Thank you! very helpful. I was also disappointed that I got a form response, but hadn't thought to ask a more specific question. I'm sure those are much easier for them to answer!

Thanks for all of the helpful information, everyone.

The SO Delicious "yogurt" is amazing - the closest to a a true yogurt I've had since being GF/DF

I haven't been able to have anything at Babycakes - I love them but they don't love me I haven't been able to isolate the ingredient but uhhh!

I have never seen this, will definitely look next trip to publix and whole foods. My son loves the ice cream. Even our local wal mart carries it and they never carry any specialty foods.

Pop Century-Divies popcorn and jellybeans, OMG brownies, rice milk and rice dream ice cream. No chicken tenders. Unclear on bread products since the Chef did not really seem to understand "gluten free" and served burger on regular bun.

.

Must not have been the same chef we had last Aug when we stayed at POP. He was awesome! He called me several times before my trip. He walked around the snack shop and pointed out all the allergy friendly stuff that my son could choose from to use his DDP credits. I wish I remembered his name.

This thread has me worried, and I still have over a yr before our next trip. We have started going about every other year with my son. My cousin is a CM, so we can't always get the dining plan unless they are offering it to them at the time for a cheaper price. Last Aug, we were able to get the dining plan and I loved it. They treated my son (at the time 4 yrs) with over 20 allergies like a Prince everywhere we went. If CS didn't have anything for him, they went to the TS places in the park and found him something. They brought more than he could have possibly eaten and charged him only the cs credit (one place didn't charge him at all due to the wait). I was surprised by all the options on snacks/desserts he could have there. Just some of his allergies: peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, soy, turkey, pork, chicken, and beef. So you can see that it is hard to find stuff this child can eat when we are out. Hopefully this will all be settled before out next trip.

My 5-yr-old has a mustard allergy along with many others.

We also stayed at POP last September and I agree the chefs were awesome. The food was so good and the chefs were very helpful. We are going back to POP this August because of the chefs and the incredible food.

I took a photo of the special diets "bookshelf" (if you will) at Pop when I was there last week. Our allergies are so random that we haven't needed to select much from there, but I have definitely noticed significant changes in the selection since the fall.

If those photos are too big I can change to thumbnails, let me know. The originals are higher res so if there's a specific item I might be able to pull the brand off of, I'd be happy to do so.

Hope that helps someone.
