Definitely not a false positive. DH and I both have/had food allergies. I used to be alleegic to mustard ( made my lips swell like a balloon) growing up. DD is definitely allergic. Chocolate and orange gives her either hives or small very itchy bumps all over if she ingests it, but is okay with contact or someone eating it next to her. But definitely don't want her eating them bc she will very uncomfortable for 1-2 days. Benadryl makes her hyper I try to avoid giving it to her if possible. Milk on the other hand the doctors thought she was lactose intolerant. She get diarrhea, makes her feel like she has to cough, gives her a feeling like something is coming up in her throat, and bad stomach pains. She can have bread or cookies and they don't bother her, but no butter on veggies, no dressings like ranch, no cheese, yogurt etc. She tested positive on allergy testing, which surprised everyone. She is allergic to shrimp and crab. That is her worst allergy. I assume they have a separate fryer?
We don't eat out with her a lot. We had a bad experience with a Celebrity cruise and she had a hard week. One of the things we are excited about is that everyone says they do a great job. Don't get me wrong when I say she won't want fruit. She loves it and eats a lot of it and a lot of veggies like broccoli and asparagus. I know they can accommodate her allergies, but I just am trying to prepare so we don't get, sure we could have easily done that if you gave us notice, kwim? Not looking for special treatment she eats drumsticks, grilled chicken, chicken fingers, steak, pb&j so if we could get steamed plain veggies (ones already on the menu) or some fries she would be in her glory. We decided not to do the dining plan bc we didn't want to be locked into desserts in case they couldn't give her something good, we can find something else. She often likes salads anyway. Honestly I just want to be prepared so she can have the best experience.
I have to say, even with all of my allergies I was able to eat a lot of the menus with some minor modifications. I really dont think you will have a problemw ith those allergies at all but thats just my opinion. I'll give you some examples:
My allergies at the time were: peanuts (anaphylaxis), eggs (anaphylaxis), all shellfish(anaphylaxis), tree nuts (anaphylaxis), wheat (moderate), oats (moderate), sesame (moderate), broccoli (moderate), soy protein (mild), coconut (mild)
In addition all raw fruits except grapes (mild to moderate reactions), and all raw vegetables (mild to moderate reactions)
Crystal palace (twice) plain salmon, ratatouille, mashed potatoes, beet salad, cucumber salad, grapes, sautéed green beans, carved beef,
The plaza (twice)cheesesteak (no cheese extra sautéed peppers and onions) with/no bun and grapes instead of fries. Enjoy life cookies for dessert (free of all top 8 allergens and chocolate....they were the sugar crisp and snicker doodle cookies)
50s prime time: I got the salmon off the menu except they substituted different vegetables for me. They also have dairy free ice cream for shakes but I don't do that because they use too many nuts for me to be comfortable.
Sci Fi: nachos for an appetizer. Got a burger w/no bun with tons of sautéed onions and mushrooms and fries
1900 park fare: I got beef, salmon, chicken, roasted potatoes, sautéed veggies, grapes, and enjoy life cookies for dessert with soft serve ice cream w/ surf sweet gummy trEats on top.
We ate somewhere else I think but I don't remember...lol.
At POP century where we stayed I was able to get:
GF/DF/egg free/soy free Mickey waffles. But if she's okay with dairy baked in things than she's probably okay with regular waffles I'm guessing?
Allergy chicken tenders (again, don't know if she'd be okay with regular because of baked dairy)
Grilled chicken with GF pasta and tomato sauce w/ sautéed veggies
Deconstructed burger with bacon, sautéed mushrooms, onions and peppers
At the other foods courts I ate allergy chicken tenders, roasted veggies, deconstructed burgers (no bun), fries, grilled chicken, GF pasta (sunshine seasons)
I did eat some dairy. At the time I hadn't tested positive for a dairy allergy but now we think I am allergic but at the time it was just some GI pain if I ate too much so I made sure to limit it. I ate dairy at crystal palace, Sci Fi, 1900 park fare. Otherwise, I asked for thinks without cheese (burger, cheesesteak) and they were very accommodating when I said lactose intolerance (which is what we thought it was at the time )
We brought a lot of our own food because we didn't expect the accomodations to be so wonderful but we ended up throwing out almost all of the food we brought because it wasn't necessary. I was too stuffed from the meals.
I think with snacks and treats, she will actualky have a fairly easy time especially since eggs and nuts are not an issue. There are a lt of things that don't have chcolate. And if she can have dairy in baked goods, im guessing she can still have cupcakes, cookies, etc so that helps. And I think almost all places carry enjoy life cookies (which are dairy free) and tofutti or rice dream ice cream.
Truly, from my experience, I don't think you will have any problems. I think she will eat very very well. But I understand wanting to be prepared but honestly, we did nothing but mark the allergies and our service and food was all wonderful.
Hope that helps and I hope you have a great trip.
