Fund raiser: Making magic for a food allergy family!
by Allergy Free Mouse | August 7, 2022 7:51 pm
We have some exciting news! We created a nonprofit organization to support food allergy families. Our goal is to raise awareness of food allergies while raising funds to send a deserving food allergy family to Disney.
We created Pixie Lizzie & Friends as a 501(c)(3) organization for this purpose. And as our first recipient of this fund, we have selected the Silvera family. You may know of the Silvera family, as Thomas and Dina tragically lost their son Elijah and have worked tirelessly to create “Elijah’s Law” that requires all daycares to implement food allergy guidelines to prevent, identify and respond to anaphylaxis emergencies. You can read more about it on the Elijah-Alavi Foundation website[1].
Please consider donating to help send Dina, Thomas, and their little one to Disney World.[2]
Trip report: Disney World with allergies to eggs, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame
by Allergy Free Mouse | March 19, 2022 8:54 pm
This trip report was provided by Michelle, whose son is allergic to eggs, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
A trip report from a client: This little boy is severely allergic to eggs, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
He had never eaten a roll before.
Let that sink in.
Lizzie[1],
It’s taken me a week to reenter reality and accept that my long-awaited trip of a lifetime is now complete. Being a food allergy parent yourself, I know you understand the desire to show your child that life and adventure don’t need to stop because of food allergies.
I can’t thank you enough for the comfort and confidence you brought to me and my son and continue to bring to so many others whose only wish is to share the joys of life, adventure, travel and well- childhood with their children.
When you think of Disney, you don’t typically associate tears. But let me tell you- I cried, a LOT! I cried tears of joy, relief, thankfulness… because my son who is Top 9 was able to eat like a king. He was accepted, cared for and respected. Everyone at Disney was so careful and detailed with his food.
With your services and knowledge, making a trip like this for my family was stress-free! Food didn’t have to be the forefront of every thought. As a mom, I was able to enjoy our vacation without the anxiety that plagues my every day. My son was able to be a kid and enjoy the simple pleasures of sitting down at a restaurant after a long busy day and just knowing he can eat. He wasn’t made to feel different or special- at last, he was just like any other kid.
We had the most wonderful vacation and it’s all because of you. As Walt said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Well, Lizzie- thanks for making my dream come true.
Happy mom + Happy son = Magical Vacation
First night’s dinner at Brown Derby.
My lil guy had a delicious filet and sweet potato wedges. He said this was his favorite meal of the whole trip!
Chef Armando at Be Our Guest is incredible. He brought out the most delicious safe baked rolls. My son had never eaten a roll before.
A little sorbet to refresh.
Yak & Yeti was a success. No worries of soy or sesame cross-contamination. And my son devoured his rice noodle, broccoli & grilled chicken stir fry.
Coral Reef was exceptional and my lil man walked away with boxes of his favorite cookies.
Thank you so much Lizzie! Love, Michelle, Jovie and Logan
Everything Pop dining with dairy, peanut and tree nut allergies
by Allergy Free Mouse | April 18, 2021 9:07 am
We’re back at the Pop Century resort, starting off a short trip. Everything is a little different at Everything Pop while Covid-19 is still present. They, like all Disney World quick service locations, are only accepting mobile orders. But Everything Pop is one that does not have food allergy options on the menu. We placed a mobile order for us and then we asked to speak to a chef and were allowed in before our mobile order was ready.
We met with Chef Jose to order our daughter’s favorite Mickey Waffles, bacon and breakfast potatoes. He gave us a pager that would buzz when time to meet him when her food was read. Then we updated our mobile order to indicate we were there so they could prepare our food.
It took no time at all for him to prepare her waffles and bacon. He added apple slices and apple juice to the order and then delivered it to us. Then, we stopped at the beverage area, which is closed off and run by Cast Members to place your beverages on your tray.
Once you have your food, you can find a seat inside, all separated by empty booths for social distancing, or one of the ten or so tables outside. Once you sit, you can remove your mask, of course. We took our food to-go and ate in the room. It’s not quite the same experience, but still safe for food allergies.
Once you have mobile order, indicate you have arrived and are notified that your order is ready, they let you into the restaurant.
All of the food stations are closed to the public, with tables spaced apart to retrieve your food.
Drink stations are staffed by Cast Members to prepare your beverages.
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo with multiple food allergies
by Allergy Free Mouse | February 22, 2020 1:48 pm
[1]We dined at Docking Bay 7 during the opening week at Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, but we’ve recently had the same at Disney World.
After waiting for the lunch crowd to die down, we ventured into this quick service and asked for a food allergy menu from one of the Batuu greeters. After reviewing all the options, trying to determine what might work for multiple food allergies to dairy, peanuts and tree nuts, we asked the cashier if we could speak to a chef or manager. And we were extremely lucky, as the chef who created the Docking Bay 7 menu was working. Chef Blaine asked us, not only about our allergies but what about the kinds of food our daughter liked. Then, he recommended the Felucian Kefta and Hummus Garden Spread and the Takodana Veggie Dippers Youngling Meal, with a slight modification to exclude the nuts.
[2]The Felucian Kefta is plant-based using the Impossible meat product, seasoned a bit, along with hummus and a tomato and cucumber relish, plus pita bread. It was good, but not great. For a “new” out-of-this-world creation, it was not as good as the food created for Satu’li Canteen in Pandora. But it was good, especially if you wanted to stay in Galaxy’s Edge for a while. During the opening, we had a 3-hour time slot to explore the land, so we didn’t want to leave for lunch.
[3]We also had the Takodana Veggie Dippers, which is black bean hummus, carrots, romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, and green beans. It, too, was good for a snack and was great for our daughter’s food allergies.
We also tried the Endorian Fried Chicken Tip Yip Youngling Meal, though our daughter could not have that. But since we were sampling everything, my husband and I thought it might be another tasty snack, and it was. Not great, but good.
We’re hopeful that more choices come along that are both good for multiple food allergies and also delicious. This was a good start, especially considering it was the opening week. Chef Blaine was extremely helpful although he was extremely busy. And the atmosphere was really fun, too. As mentioned, we had these same options at the opening of Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World. At that time, the menu options were identical, and we had the same result – it was good, but safe, which is the most important element. And, we’ve successfully eaten dairy, peanut and tree nut-free at both edges of the galaxy!
Ronto Roasters food allergy report from a galaxy far, far away
by Allergy Free Mouse | February 12, 2020 8:10 pm
[1]Bright Suns! I tried one of the Ronto Wraps, out of curiosity. I do not have food allergies, but they were so busy that it was the only way to speak to someone about them. According to the manager, they have a cross-contact issue with peanuts. If you’re allergic to dairy, you should avoid the peppercorn sauce. Just ask and it can be omitted. They do not have an allergy menu. But, of course, you can ask for the food allergy book, as long as you can read Aurebesh. 😉 Actually, it’s all in English, like every other location in Disney World.
Food allergy options at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – Disneyland
by Allergy Free Mouse | May 30, 2019 9:58 am
At last, we have a menu with food allergy options at Disneyland! These menus are from Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo[1] and they have many options. HOWEVER, be sure to speak to a chef if you have questions or may want to ask him or her to tweak something else you might like.
Disney hasn’t listed food allergy options for the following, but they may add options soon:
Kat Saka’s Kettle[2]
Ronto Roasters[3]
Milk Stand[4] (while there are no food allergies mentioned here, the “milk” is “Plant-based blend of Coconut and Rice milks”)
Oga’s Cantina[5]
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo Breakfast food allergy options

Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo Lunch food allergy options

Video: Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge food and beverages
by Allergy Free Mouse | May 28, 2019 3:10 pm
Still no details on the Batuu food allergy options at Galaxy’s Edge, other than we know the Blue Milk is dairy free and plant-based. But we don’t yet know which plants. We hope to find out more in the very near future. In the meantime, Disney released this video to tell everyone about the food and beverages at Disneyland’s Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge.
While we don’t yet have information about food allergies for the Galaxy Edge dining experiences, we are getting a sneak peek from our friends at Galactic Mouse about the types of food we’ll find in Black Spire Outpost. We expect, after the fantastic allergy-friendly options created for Pandora’s Satu’li Canteen[1], there will be similar options at the locations listed below.
From GalacticMouse.com[2]:
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo: We all have to eat, right? Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs has traveled throughout the galaxy following his longtime gig as the chef at Maz Kanata’s castle on Takodana, surviving the attach of First Order. Now he brings exotic flavors and unusual dishes to his traveling diner “Tuggs’ Grub.”
A sampling of what you will find at Tuggs’ Grub, include the Ithorian Garden Loaf, a plant-based “meatloaf” that comes served with roasted vegetable mash, seasonal vegetables, and mushroom sauce. Another delicious option is the Smoked Kaadu Ribs, similar to country sticky pork ribs. They are accompanied by a unique blueberry corn muffin and cabbage slaw.
Ronto Roasters – This one features a unique twist, as a recycled podracing engine fires up a spit of exotic meats, meticulously turned by a former smelter droid, 8D-J8. Can’t wait to try that one!
Kat Saka’s Kettle – This one is a street market stalls, where the grain vendor sells the ever-popular Outpost Mix, which is a blend of sweet, savory and spicy popcorn.
Milk Stand – Another street market stall to get your farm-fresh blue milk or green milk, direct from Bubo Wamba Family Farms. Mmm, sounds delish. (of course, those with dairy allergies will skip this one entirely, unless the offer some dairy-free choices)
As you can see, no food allergy information, yet. We’ll pass it along as soon as we get it, likely in June or July, when we visit Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge. Read the latest Disney Star Wars news at Galactic Mouse[3].

New Dole Whip flavors at the Magic Kingdom – Top 8 Free!
by Allergy Free Mouse | March 2, 2019 10:39 am
This news comes from our friends at the Disney Food Blog, via their Instagram feed[1]. The Magic Kingdom has added raspberry, lemon, and mango to the current lineup of pineapple and vanilla. Remember, the vanilla has casein. However, the new Dole flavors are all top 8 free according to the Soft Serve section of the Dole website[2].
With these new flavors, the Culinary Imagineers created some new treats and they can be found at the following locations:
Aloha Isle – Hei Hei Cone – Blue Cone filled with a layer of Pineapple Dole Whip®, Raspberry Soft-serve, Sugar-Piece Eyes and a Sour Candy ‘Comb’
[3]
Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies – Adventures Are Out There Cone – This “Up”-themed Mango Dole whip cone is covered with milk chocolate pearls held together with white chocolate!
[4]
Storybook Treats – The Lost Princes Cone – Lemon Dole Whip dressed up as Rapunzel with edible flower decorations!

Remember to check each location’s allergy book for the cone and other ingredients.
Satu’li Canteen with dairy, peanut and tree nut allergies
by Allergy Free Mouse | February 28, 2019 4:28 pm
The Disney Culinary Imagineers did an amazing job putting together a menu with many delicious and unique allergen-free meals.First, it’s a bit different from most other quick service locations, which is probably due to its Asian influences. First, you select your protein, like chicken, beef, tofu or shrimp. The chicken and beef are wood-grilled at a station visible upon entering the canteen. The tofu is chili-spiced and fried. Next, you select a base, such as rice or noodles, then you pick a sauce.They also have a list of combinations to make ordering easy. See the menu for the full list.
Our favorite is the chicken, rice and bean sauce, which is more of a mildly spicy vinaigrette sauce. It’s delicious and we always ask for extra. This option is straight off the menu and is free of dairy, peanut and tree nut. However, we still specify our allergies when ordering.They do have an allergy menu, of course. However, after discovering this fantastic combination, we only consult it to make sure nothing has changed. You may notice on the allergy-friendly menu, most of the options are the same across allergen categories, except for fish/shellfish and soy.
As a Disney World Passholder, we have the luxury of entering a park just for a meal. On this last trip to Disney World, we made the trip on the fabulous Disney Transportation System bus all the way to Animal Kingdom just for lunch at Satu’li Canteen. It is that good. Of course, we also stopped at Tamu Tamu for a Dole Whip.
We’re back at the Pop Century resort, starting off a short trip. Everything is a little different at Everything Pop while Covid-19 is still present. They, like all Disney World quick service locations, are only accepting mobile orders. But Everything Pop is one that does not have food allergy options on the menu.
