Celebration At The Top- sushi & allergies?

[gottalovepluto]

2 things as I consider this event…

1. half the group is lactose intolerant, will Disney work with them/ have options for them or will it be tough luck?

2. Most of us aren’t big on sushi/sashimi (yes to shrimp all day though lol), is there still a selection of other food or is it like here is the one thing that isn’t raw and there is dessert…

We went in September and really enjoyed it! It was a splurge for sure though and I think the value will depend on what you can eat and drink. The lactose intolerance will be tricky. Many things had cheese and quite a few of the desserts were mousse/cream based. Disney tends to be pretty good with working with food restrictions but I'm not sure if they would bring your dining party different options or just point out what they could have amongst the available offerings. They do also have a full bar and kept the drinks flowing.

Here's what was available in September. I imagine this is fairly standard but a few items might switch out.

Sushi offerings (none had raw fish, and there was only one dish of a salmon/tuna sashimi out). They had a cucumber roll, a shrimp tempura roll and California roll.


Jumbo cocktail shrimp


Smoked salmon on toast (contains creme fresh)


Their famous goat cheese ravioli


Zucchini focaccia - this also contained cheese

Pork katsu sandwiches and mini sliders. The sliders had cheese or maybe a cheese sauce on them.

Dessert offerings clockwise from top: strawberry cheesecake, lemon meringue tart, tropical fruit tart, chocolate espresso brownie and chocolate hazelnut mousse.

The focaccia is new since we last went. Was there no lobster bisque? Great photos!

No lobster bisque, sadly! I would've much preferred that to the focaccia lol

we were asked at every meal we sat down for on our Nov trip if we had any food allergies so my guess would be that they could somehow accommodate in at least a limited fashion
