Dining with Food Sensitivities!

By Jaime Fall

My family loves to visit the Disney Parks but the thing that ranks up there with rides & characters is Disney’s food! Now I say we love Disney food but my family comes with some dietary restrictions. My 11 year old son and my sister suffer from Celiac disease, but Disney steps up to the plate to accommodate!!

The Disney Dining experience for a person with Celiac has been nothing short of amazing. When making a reservation for dining in the parks, you can specify that there is an allergy and Cast Members are prepared to accommodate you upon arrival. Guests are provided a special menu with allergies listed on it.  At most dining locations, you are greeted by the chef before meals are prepared.

One of the best experiences that we encountered was when we took a tour.
​Savor the Savanna at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park went above and beyond to make sure that our experience would be magical. During this tour you indulge in African Inspired Tapas and Beverages. Cast Members reach out to us a week prior to our visit to plan a personalized menu for their guests.
