GREAT NEWS for Walt Disney World visitors with allergy or food sensitivity concerns.
Starting today, April 14, Walt Disney World restaurants roll out brand news allergy-friendly menus to its counter service and table service restaurants. The roll out begins with the signature restaurants and will eventually hit the other locations over the next few weeks.
[Tweet “Disney’s new allergy-friendly menus are a response to the more than 650,000 special dietary requests in 2013.”]
According to the Disney Parks Blog:
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.
As a mom of a child with allergies (and my own!), these menus will only add to the excellent experiences I’ve had at Walt Disney World despite our health concerns!
Based on the sample I’ve included here from Walt Disney World’s Jiko restaurant appetizer selections, the new menus make the experience much easier than what we’ve dealt before with to identify potential allergens–which, while helpful, was a little time consuming and awkward to look through a big binder or talk directly to the chef.

Have you dealt with food allergies or sensitivities while on vacation on Walt Disney World? What was your experience like and how do you think these new menus will impact the guests’ experience?
