Can Guests with Food Allergies or Feeding Tubes Dine at Disney’s Sequoia Lodge?
Yes, Disney’s Sequoia Lodge is able to accommodate guests with food allergies, dietary restrictions, and certain medical feeding needs. Disney’s allergy and medical dietary policy is well-established across all Disneyland Paris hotels and restaurants, including Hunter’s Grill and Beaver Creek Tavern.
However, advance notice and communication are essential to ensure a safe and suitable dining experience.
Food Allergy Support
Disney follows a standardised allergen management protocol to accommodate guests with:
- Common food allergies (e.g. nuts, eggs, dairy, gluten, shellfish, soy)
- Coeliac disease
- Anaphylaxis risk
Key Features:
- Guests can request an Allergen-Friendly Meal, prepared in a designated kitchen area to minimise cross-contact
- Pre-packaged or specially prepared dishes may be offered if the buffet or standard menu is not suitable
- Allergen reference binders are available at restaurants, detailing ingredients for each dish
- Staff are trained to escalate allergy-related requests to a chef or allergy-trained supervisor
Feeding Tubes & Enteral Nutrition
Guests who rely on feeding tubes or medical diets can be accommodated with certain considerations:
- Bringing your own food or formula is allowed in restaurants
- Staff will provide assistance (e.g. a private table or tray access) if needed
- Microwaving or heating of medical formula may be possible upon request, though Disney cannot guarantee specific temperatures or sterile environments
- If refrigeration or equipment is required for enteral feeds, guests should arrange this through Guest Services or the Accessibility Team
Booking & Notification Process
To ensure your dietary or medical feeding needs are supported:
- Inform Disney at the time of booking your accommodation or dining reservation
- Contact the Disneyland Paris Accessibility Team or Allergy Support at least 2 weeks before arrival
- Upon check-in or when seated in the restaurant, immediately inform the cast member of your dietary requirements
- Ask to speak with the restaurant manager or allergy-trained chef for any special requests
Sensory or Anxiety Considerations
If your dietary routine is affected by sensory needs (e.g. food textures, feeding anxiety, mealtime environment), you may request:
- A quieter table or low-sensory seating area
- Minimal interaction during food delivery
- Modified meal presentation or simplified options (where possible)
