Hi, Charlotte! I just stumbled across your report and am loving it so far! I love reading runDisney reports! I'm especially excited to hear how the race went!
Love your room!
Wow, what was with that server at Boma? This is one of my worries when I'm on my trip in a couple months. I have food allergies also. This is my first time vacationing at WDW with my food allergies. Not my first WDW trip, just first time with food allergies. I noted my food allergy for all of my ADR's, but wonder if I might have issues like you did with servers?? I'm bringing chef allergy alert cards with me also as my food allergy list is quite long, lol. Any advice you can pass along would be wonderful!
Loving your TR so far. BOMA looks awesome. Yet another place on my list to try. Also your room looks so pretty and comfortable.
Love the room! We are at Boma too....I love the Pap! Sorry about the waitress, ours was not great either! My favorite was the french toast bread pudding! The simba waffles were so cute I had to take one just to take a picture!
No worries about the food allergies tinkerjlee. Disney is awesome about taking care of you with food allergies. I have been to very few places within Disney that have given me grief about my allergies but this server was just who knows? Maybe she was just not wanting to go get the chef? Who knows? I always alert the restaurant when I check in just to make sure they have the allergy listed on there. My food allergies seem to be odd because I am allergic to alot of the tropical fruits like kiwi, mangos, passion fruit, and we are thinking now pineapples after my reaction to the famous dole whip back in September! Plus I'm allergic to pecan's and Sausage. And in the process of finding out if I have a gluten intolerance or celiacs disease now (which when younger I couldn't have gluten because of the mess it put my stomach in. I just found that out last night from my mom. Thanks! That would have been nice to know!) But you should be fine. Make sure to carry plenty of benadryl with you and if you have Epi-Pen's to bring them along with you. I normally carry a bottle of benadryl in my purse and my husband has a bottle with him in the backpack. And I have an extra set of epi's in the car if I need them when in the parks. It really helps when on vacation. I've never had to use the epi's while on vacation but benadryl yes!
Hi! I just foun your trip report. Loving it so far. I look forward to hearing about the PHM. I am starting my weighloss journey and would love to start running and possibly do thePHM.
Glass beer bottles? seriously, people?
Your pics from the safari came out great!
I'm all caught up. Loving your TR. It looks like you had a ton of fun before the race. I didn't get there until Friday night (late) and Saturday was spent picking up my race packet and going to the Expo. I didn't even get into a park until the race was over.
Love your room. It's so pretty.
Love your pictures. I also have a Canon and I love it. However, I would really like to have the $ to upgrade to a better DSLR with a higher ISO. Mine only goes to 1600.
Breakfast at Boma is always amazing. One of my favorites.
Yay for single rider line on EE.
It is hard to visit a Disney park when you know your kids can't be there with you. Mine are grown now so its not much of an issue.
Yes - the PHM was fun. It was a great experience. I have my room booked for next year (well, at least 4 nights anyway). This time I plan to arrive on Weds!
Your response caught my eye! You mentioned how "odd your allergies are." It sounds to me like you are experiencing what I've been going through for many years now trying to figure out and understand the "odd allergies." I have very bad seasonal allergies (the usual, trees, grass, ragweed, weeds, mold) and found that it was carrying over to what I was eating. I'm allergic to all tree fruits, except for grapes, pineapples, lemons and limes. I'm also allergic to sunflower/sunflower oil (sunflower is a major allergen that can be found in vegetable oils and is used in a lot of fried foods, especially fast food restaurants, and even in foods like potato chips, cheetos, doritos, etc.) celery, carrots, peppers, pistachios, most spices, herbs and artificial sweeteners. It has something to do with the make up or properties of the fruit or vegetable as it has the same make up or properties as to what I'm environmentally allergic to. So if I consume that fruit, vegetable or herb, I end up sick and with a bad reaction. It's taken me many years (decades now) to figure out what was going on with me. And the allergy doctors were absolutely no help. I had to figure out on my own what was making me have an allergic reaction. I don't leave home without Benadryl as I never know if a reaction is going to strike. And of course having to read every ingredient on labels, not fun.
You mentioned gluten/wheat that you might be allergic to. I found out that "certain" oats were causing an allergic reaction to me, again the same make up or properties as my environmental allergies. I'm ok with wheat, but oats, whole grain oats like in Cheerios and even granola/granola bars were making me sick as consuming the fruits & veggies I'm allergic to. I just want to give you a heads up as I too thought I might have an allergy to gluten/wheat, but I never had a problem with gluten or wheat when I was younger. That's not to say that one can't develop an allergy later in life. I did the elimination thing in my diet to help pinpoint reactions. Wheat, wheat flour=no reaction. Whole grain oats=bad reaction.
Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it! And I hope that you figure out what's making you sick. It's not always easy to figure out the trigger item(s).
*smh* at the people trying to bring in GLASS BEER BOTTLES
Great safari pictures!!!
Thanks Brenda! We fell in love with Boma and wish we had eaten there this past trip but things had to be replaced due to traveling with friends and they didn't want to eat there. I was so sad!!!Hi Charlotte. Sadly, more times than not we call it a day after a few hours at AK park as well. Once you've ridden EE and traversed the safari, it's been a good day!
I love, love, love Boma - especially the omelet station. I'm a foodie photographer so I completely get taking photos of the buffet - and I thank you for sharing. Anyone that is in trip planning mode for Disney can appreciate photos of all the great options.
BTW, loved the photo of the castle through the door at Plaza Restaurant.
