Greetings from the UK! Trip to Orlando - Advise please!

[lyndaljo]

Hi all, my family and I are heading over to Orlando in August.  My 11 year old daughter has celiacs so I wonder if anyone has some advise on restaurant and fast food chains to head to that can cater for her needs please?  We last went in 2014 and came across some places were pretty clued up, although we went to Chicago in April this year and found the opposite!  There was hardly any choice and she spent most of the week trying to digest grilled chicken and veggies, not very appetizing for a child who loves fries, and especially hard when her pals were tucking into them!!

We are room only this year so I'm trying to be organised before our trip so we aren't wasting any holiday time searching for establishments that can offer a decent choice!

Thanks so much in advance :-)

If you are on Disney property, you should have no trouble.  Lots of gluten-free options.

Hi Kareng,

Unfortunately not!  We are staying at the Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando.  Thanks so much for the link though :-)

Are you on FAcebook?  There are some Orlando/disney groups.  

 

I don't know what the shopping and dining area is called that is outside of Disney but run by Disney?  It usually has a lot of good places for gluten-free.

Some American chains that you might find there and are known for good gluten-free practices -

Chick Fil A

Outback Steakhouse

PF Changs

Bonefish grill

REd Robin (fancy burgers, gluten-free fries)

Margaritaville

BJ's Brewhouse

Those are some I can think of right now.  You can hit a grocery and get a few things to munch - cereal and milk, boiled eggs, cheese and crackers, fruit, etc.  Some hotels have BBQ grills you can use.  Just get some foil or a foil pan to cook on.

Cooper's Hawk is a place we frequent often when we are in Orlando.
