First, make sure you’ve checked the Disney World calendar because Magic Kingdom is closing early one day this week. You’ll also need to be working on your packing list, but in addition to the usual things we tell you to ALWAYS bring to Disney World, you’ll need to add one thing to that list: allergy medications. Yep, things are VERY sneezy right now in Disney World.
Okay, I want you to take a deep breath in… and a deep breath out… Because the things we’re talking about today can be stressful. MORE than stressful, really — they can be flat-out panic-inducing.

From fears and anxieties to allergies and disabilities — visible or invisible, everyone has their own challenges to face. And if you or a family member of yours are facing some of these struggles right now, you might think that a Disney trip is completely out of the question or will be ridiculously complicated to arrange. But, one guest’s experience in the parks shows that might not be the case. Instead, Disney could be just the place to experience something completely new. You could be inspired to take on those challenges like never before.
One of the most exciting things about visiting Walt Disney World Resort is that there are constantly new things to experience — even if you’ve been hundreds of times.

Let’s give a warm welcome to JoAnn Chiaravalle. She stops by to share a review of dining at a Food and Wine Pairing seminar, complete with great tips about how to prepare when you have a food allergy!
On August 16 at 7:00 am sharp, I called Disney to book the Italy Food and Wine Pairing set for Saturday, November 12, during the 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival. Within twenty minutes my booking was complete!
I was so excited to get the events booked on the first day in a short amount of time that I forgot to mention I had a seafood allergy. I called back at a later date and spoke to Melissa to have my reservation modified to show the allergy. She was most helpful and answered all of my questions.
Fast forward to November 12. The event began at 2:00 and I took my seat with notebook in hand. Although I was excited to attend this event, I was crushed when I saw the menu with seafood.
