Great reviews! We have a ADR for Tony's I am not thrilled about it but my husband wants to try it. I was going to get the cheesecake but now I think I will go with the icecream bomb.

I can't wait to read more of your reviews. I have 2 children with peanut allergies, so I am particularly interested in how you were treated and what meals you ate. One question so far, were substitute m&m's served with the ice cream like skittles or something?
We are going in August and so far, we have ressies for
Crystal Palace (lunch)
Liberty Tree Tavern (dinner)
Chef Mickey's (dinner)
Primetime Cafe (dinner) (couldn't get Mama Melrose)
Coral Reef (lunch)
San Angel Inn (dinner)
Tony's Town Sq. (lunch)(altho I'm scared having read bad reviews)
1900 Park Faire (breakfast)
What do you think? Any I should skip and replace with something else?
Also, what counter service did you use (with the peanut allergy)?
What snacks (with the peanut allergy)?
We are also doing the DDP. Thanks for your trip report!!!

Yep that looks like your standard no bake cheesecake made with cool whip.


Is it just me o r is that steak identical to the one at coral reef???

 

[Ciciwoowoo]

Yum so far!

I like that so far, every pic of hubby's meal has been a steak and the pic was taken after he started eating...

I would have loved to take photos of my trip in Dec, but I didn't dare! I was with a group of very un-DIS like people!

I look forward to reading more!

I havent done Liberty Tree, Primetime or San Angel but the others should be fine. Chef Mickey does have peanut butter on the buffet at breakfast, not sure about lunch, so the chef brought out dd breakfast from the kitchen. I'm lucky that dd's peanut allergy isn't very severe, if peanuts are beside her she's fine, as long as she doesnt touch or consume it. Just make sure when you make your adrs you tell them to put the allergy down on the system, also email Brenda with your adrs and she will do out an allergy form for you.
The M&M are substituted with another chocolate coated candy (not sure what brand but peanut free) I'm glad I don't see Ohana's for dinner on your adr list, I made sure not to go to that one, too much peanuts at dinner (peanut sauce on all tables and a peanut noodle dish)
At all the TS meals the chef came out to talk to me and inform me of what has peanuts in it. Apparently all the baked goods are off limits b/c they are not made there, its from an outsource and they can not guarantee that it did not come in contact with peanuts. There are some desserts with nuts and they informed me of which ones. Again all the chefs were nice and all the servers about getting the chef to come to the table. Some chefs did take longer than others, but they were all there within 10 mins or so.
As for the CS, I made sure not to eat anywhere that had peanut butter sandwiches on the menu. DD was playing at DHS at the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground and it was lunch time so I went next door to the eatery there (forget the name) and saw the peanut butter sandwiches on the menu and just kept walking....I don't trust CS that have peanut butter on the menu. We also didnt eat at alot of CS, I'm not a big fast food fan. But we did eat at the Toy Story Pizza Planet and alot at Captain Cooks at POLY since we usually head back to our resort in the afternoon for pool time and then just ate something quick there.
As for snacks the popcorn at the parks is fine, the prepacked ice creams are okay, thats what dd always had.
I see you are staying at POLY, I love that resort, have fun!

I know dh loves steak and he always starts eating right away. I also always start by cutting up dds meal and then take out the camera, dh is almost finished!

Somthing so wrong about Shrimp and Carrots! My youngest also has a peanut allergy . She also had a reaction to Sunchips just the other night

 

[TiggerDad3]

Looking Forward To More!!!

Some Italians use carrots in their sauces. I for one do not and can't see why they do. I guess Tony's is from that part of Italy.

Thanks for all the info! Now I don't feel guilty not eating at Ohana's even tho we're staying at Poly. I had the same thoughts about the Polynesian cooking and peanuts. The baked goods thing worries me a little. Does that mean no hot dog or hamburger rolls? I have a feeling my dd and ds will be having a lot of chicken nuggets! Did your dd have that ice cream bar shaped like Mickey and covered with chocolate? I would love for them to try that!! Looking forward to some more reviews!

You can do Ohana's for breakfast, there are no peanuts at breakfast and its a character meal.
I had a hard time with dd b/c she loves bread and I wouldn't let her eat any of it b/c they couldn't guarantee it. She did eat half a croissant without me knowing , luckily she was fine! DD had a lot of chicken fingers, pizza and pasta. Yes dd did have the mickey shaped ice cream, its fine. There is also a packaged chocolate chip cookie that is fine too.

DAY 3 - Cinderella's Royal Table Breakfast

Okay I just LOVE walking into MK before its actually opened....I just had to add that in...LOL
We had a 8:20am adr and we arrived 16 mins late (as per their adr computer screen...I peeked...LOL), we were called into the downstairs waiting room in about 10 mins and then waited another 10 mins before we got to take our pic with Cinderella. After the pic we went directly upstairs and got seated right away. The waitress was very nice and told us the chef would be over right away. The same speech.....all the baked goods are off limits b/c they can not guarantee it didn't come into contact with peanuts. But she offered dd a waffle with her bacon and eggs that is peanut free so dd had that (it was like an eggo waffle). They serve the table with some cut up fruit (very good) and pasteries (the cinnamon bun was delicious) and this is where dd ate half a croissant without me knowing , luckily she was fine but I was freaking out. WDW should really offer some type of bread product that they can guarantee is peanut free.....my dd loves bread and she had a hard time eating no bread all week The waitress then offered us the traditional plate (bacon and eggs) or the yogurt/fruit/granola bowl. Everyone had the traditional plate except me. I've had their bowl before and knew how yummy it is and it was again very yummy!!!!!!
So we met Cinderella downstairs and upstairs was Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora and Belle. The interaction was very good. But I was disappointed that the Fairy Godmother was not there and was not going to do the wishing star ceremony, I even asked and I was told that the Fairy Godmother now at the Bibbity Bobbity Bo (sp?) boutique downstairs . Its too bad b/c dd really enjoyed the wishing star ceremony last year.
So would we return.......................defiantely. The castle is truly magical and dd just beams when she is there.

Up next - Fultons Crab House with pics

CRT sounds great but I'm not sure it will be worth 2TS (I'm on the DDP), especially with 2 sons. WDW says that you should call 72 hours in advance of your ADR's to discuss special dietary needs. Did you do that? I'm curious if I do that, maybe they will be able to provide safe breads? My kids are picky eaters and the no bread thing has me seriously worried. I guess I could bring in my own bread but I am paying for the DDP. UGH! Thanks for another great review!
