Restaurant Theme: Pinnochio's story
Location: Inside Magic Kingdom Theme Park, at the back, next to "It's a Small World" ride.
Type of Cuisine: American
Cost: $ Affordable, family friendly (Adult Chicken Tender Meal, shown above, was $11)
Style Dining: Quick Serve
Pace: Average for allergy orders, provided you can get a coordinator quickly. They gave us a pager to pick up the food, so we could sit at a table to wait for our order. This is so much better than at Cosmic Rays, where you can end up standing and waiting in a crowd, while non-allergy diners have to move around you to pick up their orders.
Special Features: Beautiful story art, view of Small World ride boats as they go by, pre-made signs to hold up to boat riders with silly instructions.
Dairy-free, Egg-free Dining Options (food that we ordered):
Chicken Tenders and Fries: Adult order has 4 tenders, child order has 2 tenders. Contains wheat. The chicken tenders were actually quite big and there were a lot of fries, so a child meal should be plenty for most children 9 and under.
Allergy Friendly Vegan Cheese Pizza: Dairy free, egg free, nut free (vegan cheese contains coconut oil), gluten free round pizza is large enough for one adult or two children. This is different than the flatbread pizzas they serve.
Allergy Friendly Pepperoni Pizza: Dairy free, egg free, nut free (vegan cheese contains coconut oil), gluten free round pizza is large enough for one adult or two children. This is different than the flatbread pizzas they serve.
Allergy Notes:
Pizza: Allergy pizza crust is also gluten free. If ordering dairy-free pizza at this location, note that it is a shared pizza oven (conveyer belt style), with your order on an allergy free tray. This is different than Pizzafari, where they informed us that they have a separate pizza oven for allergy pizzas.
Chicken Tenders: Of the two kinds of tenders here, the wheat tenders were free of dairy and egg, while the gluten-free tenders had egg.
Fries: No dedicated fryer just for fries here. Regular fries are cooked with wheat chicken tenders and may contain wheat. Allergy fries are gluten free, presumably cooked with allergy chicken tenders, which contain egg (no gluten free egg free fries here).

Our Rating: **** 4 Stars - We really liked the storybook style to the restaurant, watching the boats take off from the ride next door through the shared window, and we liked having multiple kid-friendly allergy-safe options at a good price! The pager was a plus because we could sit and relax while waiting for our food. The chicken tenders were very tasty and the pizzas were quite "cheesy" for vegan pizzas, so we felt we got a good value for our allergy needs at this quick serve. We always double check that all of our allergies are listed on the receipt after we pay and confirm the allergies the order is safe for at pick up. The allergy coordinator helped us through the binder to make sure everything we ordered was safe for our milk, egg, tree nuts, and shellfish allergies. We happened to go when the restaurant just opened, but this restaurant may get croweded and waiting for an allergy coordinator may take awhile during peak dining times.
Best Wishes,
No Dairy, No Eggs, No Problem

A Note About Walt Disney World Dining and Food Allergies:
Disney restaurants do not contact the food manufacturers of their ingredients to inquire about shared lines or shared facilities (this information is determined optional labeling by the FDA). It is your responsibility to ask for product brand names, ingredient lists (or to see the allergy binder), or to inquire about cross contact risks (e.g., desserts), should that be something that you need to know. For more information about dietary policies at Disney World restaurants, or for guests with four or more food allergies (or non-top 9 allergies), please contact Disney's Special Diets.

No dairy no eggs no problem is not intended to offer medical advice. We are just one allergy family. We follow the advice of our own allergist. All allergy families are different. Disney has great food allergy training and kitchen procedures, but there are no guarantees when dining out. Please consult your own doctor regarding safe strategies for dining out and always be prepared with an allergy action plan and emergency medication (Epi-Pen), just in case.
