If you or a member of your family has a food allergy, you probably already know how amazingly accommodating both Walt Disney World and Disneyland already are in terms of making sure you are safe, happy, and healthy when it comes to your food choices. But beginning April 14, 2015, eating at the Disney Parks is about to get even more convenient! That's because Disney will be introducing new allergy-friendly menus across their parks, at about 120 quick-service and table-service locations! This concept was initially tested
last fall, and is now ready to go full scale! Here's what Disney Parks and Resorts chef and culinary dietary specialist has to say about it:
"Over the years, the number of guests with food allergies and intolerances has continued to grow. In 2013 alone, our cast members assisted with more than 650,000 special dietary requests. These new allergy menus are another way in which we can provide high-quality, safe and more accessible alternatives, and the best possible dining experience for guests with specific dietary needs."
"The new allergy-friendly menus provide allergen content for each menu item, making informed choices easier. Menu selection includes appetizers (where applicable), entrées, side items, desserts and kids' meals and focuses on the most common allergens: gluten/wheat, milk, peanut, tree nut and fish.
"Guests are still able to consult directly with a restaurant chef or special diets trained cast member. We also encourage guests to continue to communicate special dietary needs to our restaurant cast members, as this allows our culinary team to take extra measures during preparation to prevent the introduction of the allergen.
"Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is the recipient of a FARE (Food Allergy Research and Education) Award for dedication to providing a safe and enjoyable dining experience for vacationing families and our chefs have been recognized for their commitment to food allergy awareness, education and management."
