Calling all Disney World fans!
If you've ever been to Walt Disney World, then you know that a lot of planning goes into those magical memories. And if you have food allergy and haven't been to Disney lately, then, oh, boy, have we got a treat in store for you.
Our families love going to Disney because we know that we will have LOT OF SAFE FOOD OPTIONS without having to look too hard and without getting "the look" from the wait staff - ahem, cast members (the official term for Disney employees). In planning upcoming trips, we thought it'd be great to have an authorized Disney travel planner with a FOCUS ON FOOD ALLERGY share her tips with you!
So tune into this episode in which we interview Lizzie Reynolds, aka Pixie Lizzie, of Allergy Free Mouse and her own travel company Pixie Lizzie. In addition to food allergy-focused guidance, here are a few tips you'll learn about in this episode!
- Know the weather and time of year you're planning your trip (50 degrees in Florida feels so different from 50 degrees elsewhere!)
- Know the parks you want to visit during the time there
- Consider working with an authorized Disney vacation planner, many of whom (like Lizzie) are NO CHARGE FOR THE TRAVELERS (planners get $ from Disney!)
Oh, and also, Pixie Lizzie shares awesome information about the chefs and the food allergy-friendly menus at Disney.
There's just so much great content packed into this under 30-minute show!
"See ya real soon!"
- Pam and Dr. Hoyt
