Allergy Note Option Removed From ADRs

[Chip Chipperson]

Has anyone else noticed the option to note a food allergy was removed from the app? Now there's just the usual disclaimer about possible cross-contamination. I'm sure the kitchens will still provide the same service that has made WDW a safe space for those with food allergies but it seems odd to me that they would not want any sort of data telling them how many guests with allergies are booking reservations.

That’s definitely interesting. I’m also surprised, but maybe they have so many people marking various allergies that they are able to manage the “usual” ones on the spot and don’t really need the heads up.

I also wonder if people were marking allergies when they had non medically relevant requests. I think it’s interesting that the below screenshot says, “When we know the modification requested is more than just a taste or texture preference, they will inform the kitchen to use the allergy request process, which involves a Special Diets-Trained Cast Member.”

I guess we’ll see how it plays out.
