I nearly cancelled the trip because we had just started learning about all the foods he could have and not have anymore and I figured how on earth would we be able to feed him at Disney.

I contacted Disney and they said they could accommodate a gluten allergy and so we went ahead...best decision ever. Not only could they accommodate him, a chef came out at every place we ate to go over options with us or create something totally off the menu for him. On top of that they would frequently give us extra desserts to take along so he would have snacks for later and they gave us the names of all the companies who made the foods so we could find them back home. I had no idea we could find tapioca rolls and bread, gluten free brownies and cookies and breaded chicken tenders that were gluten free.

We've been back 3 times since then and I can't wait for another chance to go again. They've gone over and above time and again to make our son feel special with his allergy. I know its expensive but for a place we can go that we know the kids will have a blast and that they're going to look out for our son's food allergy Disney can't be beat.

That is all kinds of outstanding.
