Also, the Hall of Presidents remains closed through July 2009 for the installation of our newest President. For a full list of rehabs and closures, email me at affordingthemouse@att.net.
I can't wait to plan our first family vacation to WDW! Something that many parents like myself deal with is food allergies- you've been to WDW with your family and dealt with the food allergy issues there!
ReplyDeleteI know you will have a ton of good advice not only about WDW but dealing with nut allergies at the parks!
Miki,
ReplyDeleteI can't say enough about how great Disney is with food allergies! When I make ADRs, I simply inform them of my child's specific allergy. Then, when I arrive at the restaurant, the hostess confirms the allergy and alerts the chef. In every case, a chef has come to our table to personally inform us of dishes our child should avoid. We had delicious, safe meals every time!
Thanks for your comment!
