Planning a Trip to Disney World.....

....NO WORRIES!


Disney is an amazing place to visit with a restricted diet. 

Not only does a chef come out & personally speak to you regarding YOUR diet needs but they take you around buffets, prepare specific items just for you, and treat you like a million bucks!



We had our trip planned for Disney World months before I had to change my diet.  I remember that being one of the first things to enter my mind..."how in the world is this going to work when traveling, especially to Disney?!" 

After a little research, I quickly realized HOW ACCUSTOMED THEY ARE for this kind of stuff.  They have kids all the time who deal with severe allergies and they were prepared!!


When making reservations, they would ask (or a box would prompt you if doing online) about anyone having specific dietary needs.  Upon arrival at the restaurant, the waitress would immediately confirm and let the chef know!  The chef would then come discuss your options with you.


And the options were GOOD!! If there was something I wanted but contained an ingredient I couldn't have, they would make mine separate.  Again, so amazing!

I remember having the best mashed potatoes at Liberty Tree Tavern.  They also never forgot dessert (which I tend to make part of my daily intake requirements). 

At The Crystal Palace, the chef brought me this allergy free dessert (pictured below) for BREAKFAST.  Yes, I said breakfast.  It was divine and just what I needed that day =)



Another place I used often to reference and prepare for our trip was www.allergyfreemouse.com.  It was VERY helpful!


So, go ahead and plan your trip! You'll be glad you did!
