DoctorDalek 7 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 What exactly do they have for sides? I have several severe food allergies and I want to try it but I cannot do buffets due to the risk of cross contamination. I've got a list of wdw restaurants that I eat at regularly when I'm there and kind of have become stuck in my ways and would like to branch out... Also I'm not doing the parks as much and most of the eateries are with in the parks I know for buffets that the chef will walk you through the buffet and point out what you can have and bring it to you from the kitchen but I'm a planner and need to know before hand... I think I saw on the site something about a potato bar? Is that still there? Is it worth it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wak648...Bill 94 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I have several severe food allergies and I want to try it but I cannot do buffets due to the risk of cross contamination.Is it worth it?YES!!!Welcome to my world, food allergies is one of the main reasons we go to Disney for vacation. The chefs are wonderful and step up to the plate every time. Just ask to speak with the chef and inform the host/hostess along with the wait staff that you have food allergies, just like you do at any other Disney restaurant and the chef will walk you through the buffet and tell you what is safe and what is not. If you express your concerns about the cross contamination, the chef will make some up separate for you and bring it to your table.We eat there regualary with my DD who has allergies to ALL dairy products, Eggs, tree nuts, and peanuts along with sensitivity to wheat and soy.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 This is from November, not sure if there's been anything new since... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Veggies then were corn and various incarnations of potatoes, including a baked potato fixin' bar.Disney restaurants usually do a bang-up job of accommodating food allergies. I would imagine Trails End does too.Also if you'll have a car or don't mind spending some time on a bus, there are lots of good restaurants in the other resorts as well as DTD. Plus it's a good reason to go exploring. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Managed to lay my hands on the official Dietary Request Policy and part of it says this..."All WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort Table service restaurants that accept Reservations offer balanced menu choices and can accomodate lifestyle dietary needs (such as no sugar added, low fat, low sodium, vegetarian or vegan). If a lifestyle menu request is needed, Guests should advise a Cast Member at the time of dining of the request and they will be happy to assist. For Dinner Shows, a 24-hour notice is required for any lifestyle menu request. " Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DoctorDalek 7 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks every one! I have such random food allergies (eggs which is in practically everything, chicken, fish, shellfish, banana, avocado, and kiwi) I have never really had an issue at wdw which is great because some places i've eaten ate aren't so accommodating that we've ended up just leaving after a few drinks to go some where else to eat... but generally as long as there are potatoes and meat im usually pretty happy.. i am definitely planning on some resort hopping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 There is definitely no shortage of potatoes and meat at Trails End. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DinDavie 37 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Just thinking about the Fried Chicken and the Mac and Cheese is making me hungry. Its been my experience that some of the items are always on the menu but some of the side dishes and carved meats change by day of the week. Bottom line is you won't starve.
