Wow- that's a good one. I will leave the legality up to the more experienced. I

would wonder about the supplement preparation, as a lot of hoodia is packaged as

chocolate flavored chewables and the like that would be illegal. Can you even

get pure hoodia?

Congratulations on the wedding!

, you'll have a very good time. I went with my son to Disney last year - it

was beautiful. We also went on cruise this spring. Both times we had no

problems.

In Disney we stayed at condo type of hotel and they had kitchen. I would prepare

my food and bring it with me to the park.

I also have to mention - it was my son's 3 months die off - the worst he ever

experienced, but we still had a very good time. I put him in a wheelchair,

because he was very weak and used this wheelchair to carry stuff as well.

I was there on intro!! it is the only place I trust -or have thus far 21 months

in - call ahead, email and MOST importantly speak to each chef with strict

orders as they make each meal - get a kitchen fridge etc if need be - we stayed

at the nick hotel and i wanted to take the chefs home !!they packed up what i

needed to go into the parks etc - it is exhausting even not sick so i'd get a

doc's note and wheelchair if need be

I went summer before last just 7 months into the diet. I cooked and froze a

bunch of chicken breasts and boiled a ton of eggs. I packed all of that into one

of those pyrex carrying cases with as many frozen packs as i could fit. 9 hours

later when we got to the hotel, everything was still frozen solid. Even the eggs

froze and that was in the middle of summer going from Louisiana to Florida so

I'm sure it will stay even more frozen in the winter. I also brought homemade

salad type dressing that I put on everything, honey, and I'm sure I'm forgetting

some stuff.

Eileen is right, I talked to the chef at each restaurant. Disney is super

friendly. One time at the Rainforest Cafe I didn't feel like the person I was

talking to didn't understand me so she went and got the kitchen manager. At one

burger place, the manager cleaned the grill and made a hamburger patty just for

me no seasonings just in case. I didn't get sick at all. I carried a cooler with

chicken breasts and eggs. Twice I got salads (which I tolerated very little of

at the time but was the best option) and added my own chicken to it.

The staff at Disney is great.

Have Fun and congrats to your parents!!!!

I forgot to add that I requsted a fridge in my room because we stayed in the

least expensive rooms at Disney and that worked perfectly for me. We were there

5 days.

My favorite place to eat out was where you go around the world visiting other

countries and we had a princess lunch. It was a real French like place and the

big rotund chef came out. I told him my allergies and he said he's prepare

something just for me with fresh everything including lemon juice. It was the

best meal I have had in a long time... still to this day.

We go to Disney fairly often, and two of us are following SCD. You should send

an email to: WDW.Special.Diets@... and explain your situation and that

you are following SCD. They will send you information on how they can

accomodate your requests. One of the forms they send to you allows you to write

the details of the diet. ( They sent information to me about the SCD so at some

level they are aware of it.) When you make a reseravtion for a table service

restaurant the form with your dietary needs is sent to the restaurant. When you

arrive for your meal, the chef will come out and go over the list of legal and

illegal food with you. Overall it is a very worry free experience. Some

chefs/restaurants are more creative than others. It is the only place that we

go where we have no worries that they are doing it the right way.

You can stay in a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resort, one of Disney's timeshare

resorts. The larger units have a full kitchen in them. If you decide to go

that route, you should rent points from a DVC owner. One source for that is

through disboards.com

Wow, Skip. That's pretty impressive.

If only all dining out were like this.

Skip,

It sounds like you are an expert dealing with Disney chefs. We are going to Disneyworld in March for 10 days and won't be able to stay in a room with a kitchen. Would you be able to name specific restaurants you ate at in the parks and hotels where the chefs made the best meals for a special diet? I can only eat a dozen or so vegetables, chicken and fish. I don't want to end up with dry chicken breasts and soggy carrots for 10 days.

Thank you!
