What Our Guests Say At each Disney restaurant we visited, we were greeted and taken care of personally by a member of a most wonderful group of people Disney Chefs. While most kids look for characters to sign their autograph books, our son saw the chefs as celebrities. For the First time Reed ate breakfast in a restaurant. Furthermore, he had pancakes (that tasted and looked like real pancakes) which he had never had before! We want to thank the chefs who took care of us and thank Disney for your obvious commitment to keeping those with food allergies safe and happy. -S. Lee, Wendy, Reed, and Graham, Mooresville, NC
What Our Guests Say Our family went to Disney World a couple of weeks ago and had a fabulous time! At each restaurant, we told the staff about our daughter s allergies and the chef came out to talk to us and take Caroline s order. The chef prepared and served the meal to limit cross contamination. Everyone was kind and creative and questions were answered graciously throughout the park. -FAAN Member
What Our Guests Say We had a wonderful experience at Walt Disney World. We made reservations at four restaurants before arriving; the people on the phone were all helpful and pleasant. My Son Kevin is allergic to milk, eggs, and peanuts. At each restaurant the chef came out and talked to us and made sure all of Kevin s foods were safe. It was an incredible treat to go on vacation, not cook all of the meals ourselves and know that Kevin could enjoy himself and be safe. We can t wait to go again! -Karen, Ashburn, VA
