Last winter my family visited Disney World in Orlando and had a wonderful time. We were thrilled to discover that Disney has an entire office of people dedicated to helping guests with food allergies. Before our trip, we emailed the Special Diets Office at specialdiets@disneyworld.com and were given a list of foods that my daughter could tolerate throughout the Orlando parks.
At the counter-service restaurants we visited, a manager brought out a binder and double-checked the ingredients for each item we ordered. The manager then supervised my daughter's food as it was cooked to make sure there was no cross-contamination. We had a great time, and my daughter loved the chicken strips, which she declared much better than mine.
