Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Sarah. I'm a mom of four. We have sailed on Disney over hundred days at sea and I'm your unofficial Disney cruise line mom.

Overall Disney does a fantastic job with everything until we get to my specific food allergies which are pretty severe.

My biggest recommendation if if it's an adult in your party with a food allergy is to go to Palo as many times as you can because they are excellent, top-notch, they will make everything for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Call Disney Cruise Line to mark a rare allergy on your reservation before sailing.
✓Go to sit-down dining on embarkation day to pre-order dinner for the night.
✓Ensure staff use the allergy ticket (e.g., pink ticket) when taking your order.
✓Notify staff about allergies at every dining location, including pool deck and cabanas.
✓Bring your own straws if needed for accommodations.
