Disney Magic is taking place today! This morning, YoDish-the free mobile iPhone app for restricted diets and Sarah Norris of Gluten Free and Dairy Free at Walt Disney World Resort announced that they have teamed up to provide a LONG LIST of gluten-free and dairy free choices at over 50 Disney resort restaurants! I didn’t even know there were that many restaurants in one resort! This partnership is important for three fabulous reasons:
- Walt Disney World is a popular destination for those with food allergies and Celiac Disease thanks to their commitment to their guests. This app will be an incredible resource for families avoiding gluten and dairy and help make vacations for folks like us less stressful and more “magical” (sorry, I just love a good cliché now and then).
- Justin Cunningham, food allergy dad and techie, is committed to supporting main stream living for those with restricted diets. As a hard-core foodie–this is gold in my world. I enjoy eating out with my family–which is also my biggest stress factor when traveling.
- Justin and Sarah met at the Food Allergy Bloggers Conference last November–where the magic was brewing for all of us! As you know, FABLOGCON was a very special moment in time for many of us.
Bravo Justin and Sarah. Justin shared, “Our vision at YoDish is to show those with restricted diets everywhere the suitable restaurant dishes closest to them, Sarah’s contribution of gluten-free and dairy free meals at Walt Disney World is a huge step toward the realization of that dream”. If you aren’t familiar, YoDish is an iPhone app works like Instagram–you snap a photo and share your restrictions and reviews about the meal eaten at a restaurant. Others are then able to search by food restrictions and meals.
