GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Question... Does anyone have experience doing Food and Wine with an allergy? My friend that's coming with me is allergic to gluten. We're assuming some dishes will be safe for her, but I'm curious if they release a list of safe foods or something like that.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't have an answer for you.....but being Disney, I HAVE to believe they have this covered. Is there a central "welcome center" for the festival? I bet they have information and guides available. If not....I wonder if this site will be updated or 2014 before F&W begins? http://www.glutenfreedairyfreewdw.com/2013-epcot-food-wine-festival-gluten-free-some-dairy-free-offerings/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I agree; I think they'll have it covered. And we're going towards the end. One reason she loves Disney is because they give her so many options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 We were told pretty much to NOT get anything from F&W because it is all made in a shared kitchen and that the cross contamination possibilities were there. The items are basically prepped in another kitchen so they couldn't handle it how a a regular food allergy situation would be handled at a restaurant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I would have her contact special diets now and see what they say. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 A couple of years ago, Disney started offering a F&WF map that showed gluten free offerings. It's still early and I haven't seen this years yet, but I would think that they'll have it this year as well.In addition, this year's passports, which are available at the Outdoor Kitchens kiosks, will point out the items that are vegetarian and gluten free.There are also a number of websites that publish unofficial food allergy info for the F&WF.

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Thanks everyone! I think I'll email, and we'll be on the lookout for unofficial info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you still have questions one of CMs will call a chef to the kiosk. Items are generally, with the exception of sauces, prepared on site at the kiosk.

My friend is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited about her possibilities. She's so limited anywhere but Disney or her kitchen that going is a real culinary treat. Trails End and The Plaza made her quite the dishes on our trip which you'll see later in my TR. She's always shocked when she doesn't just have to eat salad. Hoping to score the REAL dessert party in the morning! BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
