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

Dining at Earl of Sandwich with multiple food allergies in Downtown DisneyAs soon as we got there my husband got in line with the kids and I asked the first cast member I saw if I could speak to the manager about allergy safe choices. The manager came right out and went over the menu with me. Because we had the dining plan and our children with allergies are 3 and 4 we only had 3 items to discuss.

The children’s menu includes grilled cheese, pizza sandwich and turkey and cheese. The bread is all egg free there but the pizza sauce is the same as the sauce for the meatball sandwiches and the meatballs are cooked in peanut oil. The turkey and cheese sandwich is fine if you order it without mayonnaise.

By the time we reached the front of the line all 7 of us had figured out our order. The meals on the dining plan come with entrée, drink and dessert. All the desserts are made in-house and labeled with the ingredients. Unfortunately the ingredients list on some things were vague. The chocolate pudding listed ingredients as chocolate pudding, whipped cream and strawberry. Now Jell-O chocolate pudding is okay but I asked about theirs’ since it’s homemade. Good thing I asked, it had egg in it. The strawberry shortcakes ingredients were listed the same way but I knew their was no way the pound cake would be egg free. We settled on strawberry Jell-O with fruit on top. They basically ate the fruit off the top and wanted to go on to the Mr. Potato Head store.

Over all we were happy with the experience. The sandwiches were wrapped and bagged separately and we felt like our concerns were handled appropriately. Our first Disney dining experience with allergies: Success!

Dining at Be Our Guest with food allergies

This quick review was provided by Jaclyn, who is allergic to Peanut, Tree Nut, Soy, Fish, Shellfish, Legumes, Gourds, Mushrooms, and Melon.

Eating at this restaurant was a dream come true for me for so many reasons. The atmosphere was amazing and the service was even better. Not to mention the food was delicious.

I have a very lengthy list of allergies. The chef was wonderful (I wish I could remember his name) and was very knowledgeable. I had the Cornish hen with roasted potatoes. They gave me broccoli instead of the normal vegetable that I was allergic to. But the best part was that I was able to have the dessert!! They make all their desserts in-house. I ordered 2! I had the lemon meringue cupcake and the strawberry cupcake with cream cheese icing. Absolutely delicious and the best birthday present I could have asked for.

It is best to make your reservations as early as possible because it fills up extremely quickly. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, and can’t wait to go back!

Disney World dining at The Plaza peanut-free and tree nut-free.We always make a point to eat at The Plaza our first and last day at Magic Kingdom. We have been going here for at least 8 yrs now, and The Plaza has never disappointed us. It is one of the most allergy friendly restaurants you can find. My son has a peanut and tree nut allergy. When we get seated, our waitress asks us about our allergy.

She then brings over the book of food with all the ingredients, while we wait for the Chef to come to our table. Chef Ken, is the greatest Chef there. He comes and sits down with us and talks to my son about what he would like to eat. He goes out of his way to just talk about our trip, and he always remembers something about our past dining experience at The Plaza. With all the costumers that come and go there, it’s nice that Chef Ken cares enough to remember. Our last trip my son had the grill cheese and fries. Chef Ken also offered to make my son more food if he was still hungery after his first dish. He also brought out fruit and salad for appetizers. The first dressing they put on the salad my son did not like, so he offered to bring out another salad with different dressing.

For dessert Chef Ken makes him the Mickeylodeon with allergy friendly cookies. For the ice cream he opens a new container every time, so there is no chance of cross contamination. Chef Ken will also come out through out the meal to check on us and just chat. If you are looking for good food and a friendly, happy place, The Plaza is the place to be. We are planning our Nov trip and the first thing the family asks is, When are we going to The Plaza.

Recommend for Peanuts and Tree Nuts: Yes

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.

Hollywood & Vine food allergy quick review

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

Dining with food allergies at Hollywood & VineAfter being seated, we had a chef arrive within 8 minutes to walk us through the buffet. He said we could just pick up things from the buffet but stay away from baked goods. I told him I would prefer something be prepared in the kitched for him so we could avoid cross-contamination. He said all they could make was Van’s frozen waffles and fresh fruit. So that’s what DS ate. We eat this at home, so he was fine.

I’m glad he was just a week shy of 3yo, because I’d hate to pay the character meal, table-service price for a 3yo to just eat frozen waffles! But my son was all about Special Agent Oso and loved every minute here. One note…the chef said strawberries aren’t normally on the breafast buffet, but he brought some out for DS, which he loved. So, that was nice.

Recommend for peanut, cashew, egg, and dairy: Maybe

Dining at Yak and Yeti with food allergiesWe had the best experience with Chef Faythe at Yak and Yeti. Our reservation was at 4:45. Our son has a sensory disorder and would only eat nuggets during our trip. Chef Faythe went out of his way. He stayed past his shift, and made our son his own Chinese style nuggets, and sweet and sour sauce, with rice.

I was so amazed that he made him sweet and sour sauce. He also mentioned that he would stay and cook him more or something else if he wanted it. Well our son was falling asleep at the table, he would wake up eat a little fall back asleep he was so happy and said this is yummy in between falling asleep. I tried some before we left, and omg it was amazing for being allergy free!

It had to be the best meal we had during our 9 day trip. I wish we could have gone back. It is on our must do list now. I was extremely worried about this restaurant and when he started to fall asleep I was ok with it. Other people in our party have allergies and their food was amazing, too.

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!

Food allergies at Pinocchio Village HausWe heard from others this was not the most allergy-friendly counter-service place at Disney, so we came prepared with food we brought in from our room for my DS. When placing our order, we asked if they could make french fries allergy-free. The Cast Member said we’d need to speak to a manager, so we just ordered all our other food and stood to the side and waited for a manager. We waited 5 minutes after receiving our food and just gave up.

About half-way through our meal, my DS was begging to eat some of our fries, so my husband went back to wait for a manager. After 10 minutes, one finally arrived and said they could bake some fries but it would take 15 minutes. We received a pager and got them in the time stated. They were fresh from the oven and, of course, not able to be eated right away by a 3yo son.

So, we just took them with us on the road (in the tupperware we brought his lunch in from our room). Those fries were a good snack later while waiting for the train and parade. Disney really needs a more allergy-friendly option in the heart of Fantasyland – which is where all the kids are!

Dining at 1900 Park Fare with food allergiesAs a mother of a child with many allergies it’s always scary eating out, any where you are. Disney REALLY takes most of that fear away. We were so pleasantly surprised at how accommodating the staff was and how knowledgeable the chef was of food allergies.1900 Park Fare with multiple food allergies The chef came to our table and took me and my son around the buffet and cautioned us against certain foods and assured us of allergy free foods. They even went the extra mile and brought over a custom allergy free dessert.

Love Disney and their exceptional service!
