Disney Tips Your Guide To A Great Disney Vacation
Walt Disney World Resort has recently implemented a sweeping ban on select nut-based food items across its properties. This new policy reportedly aims to enhance guest safety, particularly for individuals with severe nut allergies.
Guest Reactions to Food Changes

“Where did the NUTS go?!?!” the Disney Park guest asked. “Why do none of the caramel apples at [Walt Disney World Resort] have nuts on them anymore? Where did the nuts go? And will they be coming back? Does anyone know?”
Several Disney Parks fans cited an ongoing wrongful death lawsuit as the reason behind the change. Dr. Kanokporn Tangsuan died of an allergic reaction at Disney Springs after informing her server at Raglan Road Irish Pub of her dietary restrictions and receiving assurance that her meal was safe.
Dr. Tangsuan’s widow, Jeffrey Piccolo, sued The Walt Disney Company for damages up to $50,000. Walt Disney World Resort doesn’t own Raglan Road Irish Pub, but Piccolo’s attorneys argued that the Central Florida Disney park should supervise food safety protocols on its properties.

“Disney has been under extreme precautions for allergies ever since the Raglan Road tragedy,” u/ChrissyNotChristy commented. “Their allergy policies have been progressing over the years, but nuts DEFINITELY needed to go… It’s just safer for everyone.”
Walt Disney World Resort hasn’t made an official announcement about a nut ban throughout its theme parks and Disney Springs. Other versions of the beloved caramel apples remain available.
