Allergy Friendly Menus at Walt Disney Resorts

Disney also offer allergy friendly menus at 120 of their restaurant locations. Food allergies are on the rise and since Disney restaurants cater to large amounts of kids and adults with food allergies (they had 650,000 special dietary requests in 2013 alone), they have developed these high quality, allergy safe alternatives to their regular menu.

The new menus provide allergen content for each item. Including appetizers, entrées, sides, desserts and kid’s meals. All of the most common allergens are included; gluten/wheat, milk, peanut, tree nut and fish.

Guests can still consult directly with the chef for more information or for allergies not covered on the menu.
