When it comes to the food and beverage offerings at Disney, it’s safe to say that the average theme park fare is left in the dust. Ba ck in 2024, the team at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort has upped the ante, blending unique flavors, stunning presentations, and immersive atmospheres that delight guests as much as the rides themselves. However, one recurring sentiment among Disney Parks aficionados is the need for more inclusive options catering to dietary restrictions.
Food allergies, intolerances, and dietary preferences are growing in awareness, yet it’s surprising how challenging it can be to find standard variety catering to these needs. Whether it’s vegetarian, vegan, nut-free, or gluten-free, the demand is high, and rightly so. For individuals and families like mine, where food allergies are a constant consideration, Disney’s efforts in accommodating these needs can truly make or break the dining experience.
Recently, while delving into a new menu item story for D-Luxe Burger in Disney Springs, I was in for a pleasant surprise. Their regular menu includes options that address various dietary needs, from gluten/wheat and soy allergens to peanut/tree nut and milk allergies. Here’s a rundown of what they offer on their standard menu:
– Gluten/Wheat Allergy-Friendly
– Soy Allergy-Friendly
– Sesame Allergy-Friendly
– Peanut/Tree Nut Allergy-Friendly
– Milk Allergy-Friendly
– Fish/Shellfish Allergy-Friendly
– Egg Allergy-Friendly
The comprehensiveness of the menu options at D-Luxe Burger is unmatched on Disney property, showcasing an inclusive approach to dining beyond my expectations. Given that D-Luxe Burger is a quick-service restaurant specializing in burgers, sandwiches, and shakes, it makes one wonder why more Disney locations haven’t adopted a similar model. The menu’s inclusiveness suggests that accommodating dietary needs in a delectable way is not just possible but also achievable even for quick-service dining spots.
Now, as a seasoned Disney park reporter and a conscious Disney dining fan, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Is D-Luxe Burger’s menu the most dietary-inclusive at Walt Disney World? Share your experiences and let’s spark a conversation about inclusive dining in the Disney community.
