Special Dining Needs at Disney: No Worries for Quick Service Meals

1779124_10206696440757038_4670018453309805505_nI love spending the day at the parks. It gets hot and busy but that’s the perfect time to get a cool snack, or a cold drink and find a little shade to people watch from. When we plan our Disney vacations, advanced dining reservations are a must, especially when food allergies are involved. We usually make reservations for the bigger meals, either breakfast or dinner.   That doesn’t mean that we don’t get hungry during the day though! You don’t need reservations to be able to eat at the park: from the quick service spots to the vendor carts there are plenty of allergy friendly options. Read more

Special Dining Needs at Disney: Gluten Free? No Problem!

Traveling with a food allergy or dietary issues can be nerve wracking.  Luckily there is one place out there that I always trust with my dietary issues, Disney.  Those of you that have followed my writing for a while know about my introduction into the food allergy world.  I thought I would take the time to share with my newer friends my introduction into the crazy, bigger on the inside, more in depth then I thought, world of food allergies.

Disney with Special Needs: A Vegan with a Plan (Dining That Is)

Have you heard the story about me breaking my foot carrying Avalon through EPCOT? Just kidding. True story, but I promised that we were going to get away from the upsetting stuff and start talking fun again, so that’s what we’re going to do.

By now you probably know a couple of things about me. I’m part of a group of Disney travelers that are the epitome of special. I think of being on the spectrum as my super power and wouldn’t change it even if I could because it lets me experience things that other people don’t get to. I’m a vegan. I love, love, love the Disney dining plan. Read more

Special Dining Needs at Disney: Flowers, Gardens and Food (Allergy Free!)

It’s Spring at Disney and so as happens every year, Epcot is hosting the annual Flower and Garden Festival for all of the ticket holding guests.  There is no extra fee for the Flower and Garden Festival, just the cost of a regular admission park ticket.  However there is more to enjoy than just the beautiful topiaries and flowers.  Like the Food and Wine Festival in the fall, the Flower and Garden Festival boasts food booths around the world showcase.  This could be a nightmare for someone with a food allergy – having to see the glorious mouth watering food and unable to eat it. However Disney will not let you down, you can eat at the food kiosks too! Read more

Disney with Special Needs: Increasing Your Travel Group

Animal Kingdom with LindseyIf there is one thing that I love even more than going to Disney World it is going to Disney World with someone new. Now that we are old pros at touring the World we definitely have a bit of that “we own the place” swagger when we stroll under the train tracks onto Main Street (even if that swagger comes with a few tears of joy).
