FABULOUS heads up. I wanna try as much as I can but my celiacs can be a pain. I’m really excited that Disney World seems so well known for its easy to access accommodations. Love to see it

Yaaaaaaaasssssss!!!!! My partner is lactose intolerant and this is going to make our lives so much easier.

Thanks for the heads up, this will be huge for my family!

Is it easy to ask for modifications? Nothing too wild, just asking for no sauce or specific topping.

I've been pouring over it strategizing for my September trip!

That doesn't make sense. Vegan isn't an allergy thing. Are you looking for a vegan menu or allergy menu?

Is it an allergy issue or a vegan issue?

I recommend looking at @safedisneyfood on Instagram and her website. Fantastic resources on how to navigate food allergies at Disney.

Honestly Disney is the best place I’ve been to as far as allergies go. I personally only have one food allergy that isn’t much of an issue, but I’ve been with people who have significantly larger allergies.

The cast members are always super accommodating, and most of the time in sit down restaurants thats the first question that wait staff asks when they greet you at your table

You can also mark it in your dining reservations so that they know before you even get there :)

I use to work at Cosmic Ray's at Magic Kingdom

Every resteraunt has an allergy coordinator. A cast member specially trained to deal with guests with allergies. They have a big book with every ingredient used at that resteraunt. The allergy coordinator has their own frier, refrigerator, oven, and prep station. When an order comes in from a guest with an allergy, it goes directly to the coordinator who prepares your food.

If you need, you can ask a cast member to speak with the allergy coordinator directly and he will come out to talk about your options. Disney takes allergies very seriously and wants to make sure all guests are having a safe and enjoyable meal.

You should also be aware that Disney allows outside food in the park. You can't bring glass or alcohol, but you can bring in your own picnic lunch. If you are unsure of the food inside the park, you can bring your own. You can also leave anytime for a meal and come back to the park. Your ticket is good for unlimited entry all day.

You should try emailing the special diets team since you have multiple/uncommon allergies: Special.diets@disneyworld.com

I have a kid with severe peanut allergy. Disney was the first place in their life we felt it was safe to eat at a buffet. The restaurants were SO accommodating, chefs came out and to our table and answered every question with confidence and knowledge. Really amazing for us. I would 100% recommend

I was at Disney last week. Every mobile order gave options for food allergies. I’d suggest downloading the my Disney experience app and starting a mobile food order to understand how it works. Should ease your mind. Make sure to scroll all the way down to see allergy options.

All the restaurants are allergy friendly so I'm not sure where those being the only allergy friendly come from. When you make the reservation put the allergies down and any restaurant will accommodate. I have a shellfish allergy and they will cook my entire parties food separately so I can try their dishes and not have to worry about cross contamination.

Getting a reservation for 4 shouldn't be difficult as long as you are on at 6am and don't add everyone to your party while making the reservation. You can link them later.

All the menus for sit down and quick service are on the Disney site. You can look at the menus allergy friendly section on those menus. Then plan accordingly. The food carts would be the only thing you possibly can't plan for.

ADRs have been rough across the board, but hopefully that will improve as staffing ramps up. Every restaurant, TS and QS, has allergy options listed on the menus. You can talk to a chef at all of them, also, to confirm.

Speaking as someone who worked at both QS and FS, you can absolutely have allergies seriously considered at both! At the one QS, we had separate fryers, surfaces, containers, utensils, etc for allergy meal prep.

Whatever restaurant you go to (quick service or table service) just ask for a chef to talk to them about the allergies. They will take care of you. Disney is great about allergies. Quick service is great about it too.

Yes. Just mention the allergy when ordering. If you use the App you can even see the allergen menu most times for most places. Disney takes it very seriously so the food will be given to you separately, on a separate tray, and clearly identified so there is no confusion. 

It depends on the allergy, but the Top 9 ones are listed in the My Disney Experience app on the menus. Single allergen meals can be mobile ordered at quick service place. Allergy menus are available at sit down restaurants as well. If you have something more complicated or multiple allergies, you can speak to a chef or coordinator to get safe food.

I’m fairly local (just an hour away) with 10+ allergies and we go to WDW specifically because it’s a safe place for me to eat.

As someone who is highly allergic to fish/shellfish Disney is absolutely amazing.

If you have any doubts just order at the register and they'll have a coordinator come out and help you with your selections and review everything with you.

They take allergies very serious not only obvious menu choices but you can consult the chef at any kiosk, qsr or restaurant to answer your questions.

I have a dairy allergy and am an AP at WDW. Ordering with an allergy is really easy - there are lists you can check for ingredients before ordering and often times if there isn’t a dairy free options I’ve had chefs offer freshly prepared alternatives (chicken without a batter in the same sauce for example). Plant based options are marked with a green leaf which is helpful for sweet treats like dole whip

They ask about allergies at every host stand, however, in my experience recently (January 2025) this resort had one of the worst food operations I’ve seen at an all inclusive. I personally witnessed very bad hygiene/safety practices & can’t even imagine what happens in back of house. Staff was also very openly careless about it.

I would be very uneasy taking a child with multiple allergies to this resort.

They ask about food allergies as you enter every restaurant.

I’m a local and passholder, mom to a 2.5 year old with anaphylactic allergies to egg and peanut.

Disney is the hands down safest place I feel having my toddler eat. Bring extra epi pens, talk to dining teams. At table service you can note allergies in the reservation for many locations. At Quick Service ask to see “The Binder”. The binders I reviewed listed all ingredients and the allergens were in red.

Table Service restaurants didn’t even bring us a regular menu, only their allergen menu. And all the food came with allergy sticks poked in them!

You can also browse by restaurant on. the app to plan ahead. Scroll down til you see “allergen menus”. Probably on 60% of menus! If your kid is peanut and egg allergic, happy to tell you my fave spots for my guy :)

It’s honestly a relief compared to dining in regular restaurants/at family and friends’. Even Disney Springs is a wonderful experience. No, you can’t let your guard down, but you see the awareness and accommodations.

ETA: by “allergy sticks” I meant little flag toothpicks denoting an allergy guest lol. Not like epi pens stuck in your hot dog.

Erica Resnick vlogs with DIS Unplugged and talks about dining with food allergies.

My daughter is peanut and we avoid tree nut and we carry epi pen. We’ve been the last 3 years with probably 50+ meals ordered and I can say without a doubt Disney is absolutely the best with food allergies. Never once did i think of anaphylaxis

We normally avoid places with PB&J as an option but those places are few and far in between. And those are mostly uncrustables so they’re pre packaged.

You should feel safe at Disney since the servers and cooks are aware when you make reservations at TS. When you’re seated you’re handed an allergy menu.

If you’re multiple like soy/dairy/ egg…that could eliminate a lot of things your child can eat since they’re in a majority of things. When you goto the official restaurants menu on the disney site, all restaurants have a separate food allergy menu you can filter through and see what you can eat

I have celiac disease and Walt Disney World is the only place I feel 100% safe dining at!

If your child has multiple food allergies you can email disney and they will help you navigate things. My child has to avoid gluten so I made a list in advance of where we could get foods he would eat at different parks then saved it on my home screen.

I frequented disney a lot when I was younger, and all restaurants i believe have an allergen menu (I went to at lease 95% of the restaurants). I'm not sure if they have it online, but it's definitely there in store.

Disney is so so good about allergies. They are the one place I will eat at. I don’t eat at restaurants at all. I genuinely feel safe eating at any Disney parks owned restaurants. Have so much fun on your trip

Edit: By the way, make sure to mention your allergies (I’m assuming you always would anyway) and they make your food completely separate even in quick serve places and they serve them with toothpicks indicating an allergy so everyone in the kitchen knows.

I am allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, and sesame and never had any issues at Disney.

In Downtown Disney, Naples is safe for peanut allergies. We eat there every time we go. If you use the Disneyland app, you can look at the restaurants allergy menus on there and at the kiosks you can view the ingredient binders. My son has had many churros without issue.

We had a great experience with Disney dining. Our trip was cut short by being sick but it was a wonderful time. I want to live closer to Florida because we love the weather and recreation so much. My husband has had this eczema patch since before last winter and it cleared up as soon as he arrived in Florida. Lol.

Anyway🤣 We had Chef Art Smith's Homecomin, Rainforest Cafe, Chicken Guy, Pecos Bill, Connections, Boatwrights, FQ beignets, and the resort food court. Highly recommend..I just wish we didn't get sick so easily..

ETA: this was Disney world. I just realized you are doing Disney land. I still expect the same accommodations at both parks. Have fun!

Also messed up some of my charts colors moving things around :'(

I also have tree nuts and fruit allergies. They are very good with allergies. They usually cook your food in a separate pan/pot and your food will come out with little wood sticks in it to indicate it was made allergen free. Just make sure you indicate the allergies within your ADR.

Daughter has a tree nut allergy. You’ll be fine including most restaurants in Disney springs. Just make sure you tell them in advance. Someone will come and speak with you. Also the food will come out on a different plate or will have something to show it was made for someone with an allergy.

I never had problems finding something to eat. A postive note: The only thing I noticed is my food sometimes took a wee bit longer to come out at quick service compared with my friends. That’s because a specific person had to check and hand off all orders flagged for allergies. I thought that was a nice extra layer of protection.

I also have a peanut allergy and shellfish allergy. When you go they will ask you if you have any allergies and you just have to let them know. They will not serve you anything that contains those allergens. They will give you a special menu that tells you everything you can have safely at that location. They will also ask you before you order what your allergies are, and when they bring you your food they will say it again. I think that it is amazing, even if it is only to cover their own 🍑. If they don't ask you up front, just let them know and they are more than happy to accommodate that!

This article has some tips and lists. I would never have thought that a small kiosk might have details about their food but it makes sense to have it available. https://allears.net/walt-disney-world/wdw-dining/keeping-kosher-at-walt-disney-world/
