What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDisney World has opened an allergy ordering station at EPCOT, and it comes with no new menu items. Here's what we found out about it.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo it's the same food, but families with allergies get a dedicated spot to order it, which is a big deal for anyone planning a trip.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorInside the Magic reported it twenty minutes ago. The station lets you order from existing items, just in a dedicated space.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA new station and nothing new on it. Brilliant.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBut that's the point, Dale. Parents can talk through ingredients face to face instead of shouting over a turkey leg line.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFace to face, with a teenager in mouse ears who has four seconds to live their best life. That's how it starts.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFour seconds.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen it's a queue for the allergy queue, and a second station to manage the first one.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOr it's one more place where a kid gets a safe pretzel and a hug from a chipmunk.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe most magical thing in the park remains a line that moves. I'd have put the station there.
