One of the many wonderful things about Disney is how their cast members truly care about people. Those who work in the realm of food and beverage preparation go above and beyond when it comes to guests with all types of needs. Whether a special dietary need concerns an allergy to gluten or wheat, shellfish, soy, lactose or milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, or eggs, Disney provides some of the best service on the planet for people who travel to enjoy the Magic.

For individuals and families who deal with the daily reality of special dietary needs, the thought of vacationing and travel outside their normal “safe zone” for food can raise the anxiety level. According to some clients we have had the privilege of working with who face special dietary needs, “figuring out a food plan away from home can be both exhausting and frustrating at the same time.”

Perhaps food allergies are not the challenge a person has to consider; instead, the dietary need may include alternatives for vegetarians, vegans or kosher options. Whatever the variables may include, Disney works overtime to help ensure all guests’ special dietary needs are considered with care, compassion, and dignity.

Our Travel Planners at Golly What A Day Vacations thrive on helping ensure that our client’s with special dietary needs not only are accommodated, but also have a great plan once they get to their Disney destination. Let us help create a vacation experience that makes mealtime stress free, delicious and memorable in ways that only Disney can provide.
