Having a food allergy can be scary! Navigating the allergy during vacation, can be extra scary. I have recently developed a sensitivity to any foods that contain dairy. Do you have any idea how many foods contain dairy? It's in so many foods that you wouldn't expect. This has been a huge adjustment for me. No more Mickey ice creams for this girl. So, I know first-hand how frustrating and stressful it is. I have been to several different theme parks and have to say, that the only theme park that I feel absolutely comfortable eating at, is in a Disney theme park.
Disney goes above and beyond in the allergy department. Disney has made it so easy for you to figure out what is safe for you to eat depending on your allergy. The My Disney Experience app will be your friend when looking up food and restaurants that can accommodate your needs. And, it is such an easy way for you to order your food without having to explain it to a waiter or cashier.
Not all restaurants have allergy friendly menus. If they do, you will see an allergy friendly tab that will list all the food items by what allergy you are looking for. Allergy menus are at the bottom of the app so scroll all the way down and find the area you need. Once you find an item that works for your dietary needs, proceed with your order. The best part about this, is that you can order your food with your family. Your food will be separate from your families and clearly marked with an allergy marker. You can order the same thing as someone else in your group, and don't have to be worried about which one has been made just for you.
