Special Dietary Requests
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Food & Beverage team is committed to offering a wide range of options to accommodate Guests with food allergies or intolerances. Guests should notate these food allergies and intolerances at the time of booking their dining reservation. Guests are also welcome to speak to a chef or a manager on duty when arriving at the dining location.
Whether dining at a table-service or quick-service restaurant, Guest food allergy or intolerance requirements will be addressed when brought to our attention.
General Information
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts will use reasonable efforts to prevent the introduction of the allergen of concern into the food
through close attention during our sourcing, preparation and handling processes. However, it is ultimately up to the Guest to use
his or her individual discretion to make an informed choice regarding whether to order any particular items. The Walt Disney
Company cannot guarantee that allergens may not have been introduced during another stage of the food chain process or, even
inadvertently, during preparation. We do not have separate kitchens to prepare allergen-free items or separate dining areas for
Guests with allergies or intolerances.
Guests with food allergies or intolerances are allowed to bring food items into any Disney theme park. Please inform the Security Cast Member at bag check that someone in the party has a food allergy or intolerance.
For Guests staying at a Disney Resort who have items that need to be refrigerated, they should ask the Front Desk Cast Member to have a refrigerator placed in the room. There may be a charge for the use of the refrigerator.
Cast Members are prohibited from storing, preparing, cooking or reheating any food brought into our Resorts or theme parks by Guests.
Reservations
For online reservations, visit http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/reservations/dining/ and
indicate the food allergy or intolerance on the required screen.
When making a phone reservation, please inform the reservation Cast Member of the food allergy or intolerance and they will notate the food allergy or intolerance on the reservation. You can make a reservation by calling (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463. Guests under age 18 must have parent or guardian permission to call.
We recommend Guests plan ahead, as many meal times at popular Walt Disney World Resort restaurants book quickly. Reservations are accepted 180 days in advance at Walt Disney World Resort.
If you do not have a reservation, we are happy to discuss and attempt to accommodate food allergy or intolerance requirements. Guests should ask to speak to a chef or a manager upon arrival to discuss the specific dietary need.
Common Food Allergies

The restaurants will do their best to accommodate guest dietary requirements, but cannot guarantee they will be able to meet all requests.
Kosher Meals
Kosher meals may be requested 24 hours in advance by calling (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463. Guests under age 18 must have

Buffets
Guests should ask to speak with a chef or a manager upon arrival to discuss the food allergy or intolerance. Although the chef can
walk through the buffet and indicate what can be eaten based on the specific allergy or intolerance, there is always the potential
for cross-contact by other Guests since these are self-serve buffets.
