I found all the info on here so helpful when I was planning (thank you!) that I wanted to contribute our trip experience.
My 3 y.o. has anaphylactic food allergies to milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame & mustard. She is highly sensitive and has had multiple severe reactions. We have a pretty tight comfort zone when it comes to food, and we rarely eat out. We all avoid her allergens around her. We also have a two y.o. Also, we are food people who love to eat & cook (and are pretty good at both!)
Disney was amazing. Just fabulous. We had a villa, so we made some (simple) meals ourselves. Most days were ate out once at a sit down restaurant, although we got snacks 3 days and ate at a counter service once as well.
Our 1st night was Narcoosee's. Noah, the chef, and his food lived up to our high expectations. My kids loved the fancy straws at the signatures. They had a fruit cup for an app, and for their main course was wild caught Alaskan salmon (one of my pet peeves is feeding kids crappy low quality food, so this was great!), roasted fingerling potatoes & steamed carrots. They scarfed it down in no time and thought it was delicious. He was able to prepare my husband and I wonderful entrees (I had sea trout, and I think my husband had scallops.) For dessert we had Divvies cookies. It was our best meal there.
1900 Park Fare's breakfast was next. The chef made us plates of Mickey waffles, bacon & fruit. Everything was yummy!
Citricos was another hit. Again, it was good quality food (steak for my 2 y.o. and grilled chicken for my daughter.) The chef (whose name is escaping me but he was so helpful!) was so thorough and good about giving us options.
Our next meal was Liberty Tree Tavern. I wasn't completely sure about how this one would be (food quality-wise) but we really enjoyed our meal. My carnivore children loved the meat plate, they were able to make dairy-free mashed potatoes, and the green beans were fabulous. The dessert there was awesome - raspberry sorbet with fresh fruit. We love Divvies, but it was nice to have something different.
We then ate at Le Cellier. Everything was good, and I liked that the waiter included himself in the conversation with the chef.
Raglan Road was another hit. My poor husband barely got any of the scallops he ordered for an app because my kids devoured them. The food was good, but it was more "chain restaurant" quality than we are used to. We were with a very large party that night, and we still were able to feel comfortable that our daughter could eat safely.
The last meal was Chef Mickey's. The food was the same as at 1900 Park Fare, although we did need to ask specifically for bacon & fruit that was not off the buffet. It was a fun way to end our trip!
Every park had Divvies available at one location (Magic Kingdom had the most options - everywhere else was just cookies.)
If you are grocery shopping in the area, we needed to do both Whole Foods & Kroger's (just up the road.) We couldn't find safe sandwich bread at Whole Foods.
It was such a great trip. And as much as I enjoy cooking, it was such a treat to eat a yummy meal out everyday. We can't wait to return to Disney!
