Does anyone know if a child's peanut allergy qualifies as a guest with a disability? I would call DL, but the offices are closed so I thought one of you wonderful MWrs might know. Thanks!
As in a disability for what? - KAA

I wouldnt think so. How does it disable them? - disneygirl19

To me allergies don't count as disabilities. I have a friend who can't have gluten but it's not a disability. - KAA

I have lots of allergies to different foods and medication, but it's not a disability - ERICKA

I'm no expert, but my logic tells me no. - Spoonful_O_Sugar

Wouldn't think so. I'd just bring food from home. - disney42dude(CM)

I'm sorry but no that would not be a disability - 1lvdsny

I meant it in terms of obtaining a pass for the disability line. I'm asking for my sister because she is going to the park with some friends in a few weeks and she was told that they are able to get a line pass because of the child's peanut allergy. (ie can't touch rails, be around people who have eaten peanuts etc.) Now I'm not trying to cause any controversy but I didn't think this would constitute as being a "disability". My apologies ahead of time to whoever may have this affliction and may be offended. Just trying to get the facts from a family that might know. - RocklinMousewife

Not true. There is just as much chance for exposure to peanut particles in the disabled queues. They're not sanitized or anything. - disney42dude(CM)

It sounds like a real inconvenience, but not a 'disability'. I would be very surprised if Disney gave a pass for this - Kari_Bo_Berry

Interesting. Wondering how severe the allergic reaction is. I am assuming that am Epi-Pen is with them at all times? - Butterlina

Thank you, D42Dude(CM). That was my feeling as well and I will tell my sister to call the park ahead of time as I believe she is mistaken.

Not offended, just told you what my opinion was. If every person who had an allergy got a pass people would abuse the system. If your that concerned, you can call Disney. - KAA

I'm simply going to say No and ask that there is no post after this one about how messed up it is they wont give them pass LOL - Sam241

Yes, Butter, apparently it is a severe enough allergy that they carry in epi-pin, however, I don't see how a line pass would prevent exposure any more than it would in the regular lines. (especially at this time of year when the park is so busy)
- RocklinMousewife

Well sorry that she has to deal with that. My eldest brothers kids have it pretty bad and have to be rather cautious. Good luck. I would most likely think it would not be approved. Probably classified as a condition rather than a disability. - Butterlina

I guess she won't be going on Peter Pan... - Dave

@KAA, yes I'm in agreement with you,@Butter, perfect description as a "condition" and @Dave, you crack me up! @sam241 this is the final post! I promise cuz I know where this can go eeeeekkkkk - RocklinMousewife

Hope everything works out and she is able to have a great time - KAA

My daughter has a SEVERE milk allergy and it is extremely difficult to keep them safe. We've had a couple accidental exposures which resulted in using an epi pen followed up with a hospital visit or stay. However, a quicker line is not going to help. A parent being on top of things will. - mommyneedsavacation

You may want to call them and see what they suggest. - MozPrincess
