Chef Mickey's entry sign

This is one of our family’s favorite restaurants. The chef came out and spoke to us. Checked to see if they had the allergy free nuggets and came back to let us know that they did. Chef Mickey's dining with food allergiesThey made him fries and got him apple slices, too. The chef checked on us numerous times. The characters really help when you have food allergies. Often the food takes longer to make, so it was a nice distraction for our son. They offered desert but my son didn’t want any. He loves this restaurant and asks to come back all the time.

Recommend for Eggs, Dairy and Nuts: Yes

Gluten-free dining at Olivia's Cafe in Disney's Old Key West resortMy wife has Celiac disorder and thus must have a gluten free menu. The service staff at Olivia’s could not have been any more helpful.The chef on each of our visits made a visit to our table and explained her options. Each of our meals brought tears to Maryann’s eyes as she had foods such as pancakes and waffles. Gluten-free Sandwich rolls were also part of her lunch menu. Keep up the great work Olivia’s we will be back soon! Thanks for making our vacation special!

Recommend for gluten free: Yes

Kouzzina by Cat Cora – food allergy quick review

Melon.

Dining at Kouzzina with multiple food allergiesI ate at Kouzzina for the first time on my recent trip. It was the BEST meal I have ever eaten! Dee was the chef, and she was amazing! I have a VERY long list of allergies, and she was so nice and understanding. She knew the ingredients inside and out.

I had the braised short ribs with feta mashed potatoes and a side order of herbed orzo. DELICIOUS!!! She made me broccoli special because I could not eat the regular vegetables. And then, to top it all off, I was able to eat the Greek doughnuts for dessert!! Because the normal frying oil was fish contaminated, she made a separate fryer all for me. And if that wasn’t enough, because it took them a long time to make, they gave it to me for free.Food allergies at Kouzzina in Disney World

I may plan another trip just so I can eat there again. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and am only sad I hadn’t discovered it before.

Recommend for Soy, Peanut, Tree Nut, Fish, Shellfish, Mushroom, Legumes, Gourds, Melon: Yes

This quick review was provided by Gretchen, whose son is allergic to peanut, cashew, egg, and dairy.

Dining with food allergies at Chef MickeysA chef was at our table within 3 minutes of being seated. He walked us through the buffet and told us what they would prepare for our DS in the kitchen free of his allergies and cross-contamination.

It took about 15 minutes, but a HUGE plate of food was prepared and delivered to my 3yo son. Baked chicken, broccoli, carrots, cucumber, and fresh strawberries. At the end of our dinner, a 1st visit cupcake was brought to my DS that was all allergy-free complete with icing. My DS was in heaven! “For me? I can eat it?” We plan to eat here at least once on every return visit! Plus, the character interactions are some of the best around!

Recommend for peanut, cashew, egg, dairy: Yes

This quick review was provided by Sheri, who is allergic to peanuts, cashews and pistachios.

Food allergy free dining at BomaThe chef came out and went over everything at the buffet that had nuts or peanuts in it, so my husband or I did not take anything with nuts. Then asked my son what his favorite foods were and told him that he would make him anything he wanted. They brought him chicken fingers, mac and cheese, fries and veggies. All prepared safe and separate. It was so great that they gave him a variety of things and made him feel like he was eating at the “buffet”, too! Then they made him a safe very special dessert!!

Recommend for peanuts, cashews and pistachios: Yes

Dining at Everything Pop with multiple food allergies

This quick review was provided by Jaime, whose son is allergic to:barley, beef, tree nuts (cashews, almonds, etc), chicken, sweet potatoes, pork, soy, oat, milk, wheat, carrot, peanut, squash, turkey, sunflower, coconut, mustard, onion, seseme seed, lemon, and mushroom

My Mom and I took my son to stay at Pop Century when he was 4-yrs-old in Aug. 2011. We were there 4 nights on the dining plan. The chef called me several times before our trip to plan for my son who has over 20 allergies. Due to all of his allergies, there really isn’t much on most of the kid’s menus that he can eat safely. All the hotdogs, pizza, chicken, hamburgers, mac & cheese, pb&J are unsafe for him.

My son loved watermelon, so the chef ordered a watermelon for him to have during our stay. He used 3 out of the 4 quick service and most of his snack credits there. We are not early risers most days, so I decided that the best thing to do would go by Pop dining on our way to the bus and get his lunch to go. The chef prepared shrimp, watermelon, and allowed him to get Divvies popcorn as his dessert. He also got an orange juice as his drink. My son loved the Divvies popcorn so much that he choose that as most of his snack credits too. We are both sad that Divvies is no longer at WDW. I loved the plastic to-go plates the chef sent the food to-go in because they are reuseable. The chef was great to my son and he loved the food at Pop.

Cape May Cafe Clambake multiple food allergy quick review

Dining at Cape May with food allergies

This quick review was provided by Jaime, whose son has 20 food allergies: barley, beef, tree nuts (cashews, almonds, etc), chicken, sweet potatoes, pork, soy, oat, milk, wheat, carrot, peanut, squash, turkey, sunflower, coconut, mustard, onion, seseme seed, lemon, and mushroom

My son was 4-years-old when we ate there in Aug. 2011 at Cape May on the dining plan. He has over 20 allergies, but he can eat seafood.

The chef called me several times before our trip to plan for him. He wanted to make sure that my son had plenty of safe foods to eat that he would love. The chef offered to make a special rice milk flan for dessert.

We arrived before our ADR time, and waited for a few minutes before we were taken to a table. There was a tv with classic Disney cartoons on in the lobby while we waited. The table had paper on it, and my son loved being able to color on it while he waited for his food. The chef came to the table and walked me around the buffet to get some ideas of what he could prepare safely for my son. He brought him some fresh fish and veggies. My son ate over a bucket of clams and some crab legs too. He ate more there than any where else at Disney. I loved the crab legs, friend shrimp, red potatoes, Oreo Bon Bon, and Key Lime Tarts.

If you aren’t a seafood lover there is still plenty of food to enjoy like barbeque pork ribs, marinated roast chicken, pasta, mac and cheese, and beef tips. We all loved it so much that we are going back this summer!

‘Ohana food allergy guest review

This quick review was provided by Amy, whose son is allergic to milk, peanut, and egg.

'Ohana food allergy reviewWe eat dinner at Ohana every time we visit Disney, but this was the first time with our severely allergic toddler. We told the server we were concerned about the chances of an allergen in the family style dinner or chance of cross contamination. To our surprise the head chef came to our table himself and had wonderful suggestions of steamed rice, fresh vegetables, and an appropriately prepared meat for our son to enjoy instead of sharing our table food. It was excellent service and we were able to enjoy the meal with relatively little worry.

Recommend for milk, peanut, and egg: Yes

Gluten-free dining at Park FareMy wife and daughter are gluten free. Going to Park Fare is always a great experience because the chef always takes extra care of them both. For my wife it is a chance to have great pasta. For my daughter she loves the special dessert they always bring out to her. It always produces a wow face from her. Oh, and the characters are great too.

Allergy Free Mouse will be at Epcot to meet our readers, probably with some sort of food allergy free handout.

Book ASAP – great dining options are still available.

Did you know? Walt Disney was an honorary Girl Scout

 

 

When we contacted John Basmajian to use this photo, he included this information regarding the event:

I am pleased that you that you would like to use the photo of Walt Disney being made an honorary Girl Scout of my mom’s Girl Scout troop #19 of Park Elementary School of Alhambra, California, in 1945.

My sister, Lucia, recalls at the time that the Girl Scouts of America would not endorse or use the photo for any publication because the girls had their shirt sleeves rolled up.  It was a VERY hot day.

Sincerely,
John Orin Basmajian
