Disney dining has always been a highlight of our visits to WDW, especially since my wife has a severe food allergy. They made it so easy to inform the staff when you make ADRs about allergy concerns, and we've become accustomed to a chef visiting our table and making something from the menu without the offending foods. This changed, however, on our visit last week.
In restaurant after restaurant, we were handed a pre-printed menu that detailed the allergens in each dish (which is great, normally). The only problem is that these menus typically limited DW's choices to one or two entrees at most. And this isn't counter service -- this happened at Artist Point, Hollywood Brown Derby, San Angel Inn, Sci-Fi Drive In, and Be Our Guest. Disney has clearly changed their policy regarding diners with allergy concerns.
Two places followed the routine that we are used to. At 'Ohana and Saana a chef came to the table at the beginning of the meal and offered to prepare any menu item without allergens. I guess you could say that we've been spoiled by this special treatment in the past, but it's honestly a major reason that we choose WDW for an annual family vacation.
