Another Disney Succuess

Just got back from Florida for my sister's wedding and we stayed in Disney 2 nights - I had the best gluten-free meals there that I've had since going gluten-free! We stayed at the Pop Century, and ate dinner, lunch and breakfast once each at the food court and I have to say, I had better (and cheaper - they charge the kids price for gluten-free meals even though they are larger and tastier) food than anyone else in our party! My husband was so jealouse of my gluten-free pizza with broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers (all he could get was a pepperoni pizza that was half the size of mine and cost $2 more!). All you have to do is ask to talk to the head chef, and they will come out and talk to you about the options and what yoiu want to order. Be forewarned thouh, b/c they cook it in dedicated pots, etc., it will take longer (my pizza took about 10 min. wherease all the others are premade). I want to find out what pizza crust and hamburger buns they use, b/c I haven't found any that good in the stores! They also have a gluten-free (and I think it is DF too) brownie in the gift shop that I bought for the car ride home, but I didn't eat it yet. It looks really good, and if my experience holds true it will be!

We also ate at the Grand Floridian character dinner (Park Fare) one night, and there was so much on the buffett that I COULD eat that I didn't even miss dessert (I had shrimp cocktail for dessert!). Again, talk to the chef and he will walk yoiu through the line pointing out what is in everything. I saw him several times that night walking people through. They truly love to do it too - don't look at you like you are a pain in the you know what :lol:

I"m glad we were only there for 2 nights though, or I would have gained about 20 pounds and not fit into my bridesmaid dress! :lol:

If you ask nicely, the chefs who do breakfast at the Grand Floridian will make you gluten-free waffles or pancakes :). My mom had called see what my options were, and the chef came out and asked me what I wanted for breakfast, and I just said that eggs or something would be fine, since that's what I was used to having at any kind of buffet/diner/breakfast situation, and he said "no, I don't think you understand. I can make you anything you want." So I got Mickey waffles :) Disney is really really accomodating.

Glad to hear that you had a positive response. Disney is wonderful. I did ask if I could move into the park and have them just prepare my meals everyday!

My parents bought a vacation house down there.. so we are free to go whenever we want. Unless its being rented. We rent it out when we are not there.

We will be going again within the next year.. if just for the food alone!

I truely believe Disney is one of the most accomidating place for food allergies/intolerances! When i was there in the summer the chef brought me gluten-free rolls and my own vinegar to dip it in! I am going back in December and I am so excited to eat Mickey waffles again!

If you are looking for a place to stay.. its off site.. its our house. We rent it out. It sleeps 8 comfortably. And it has a pull out couch for 2 more. You can look at it at www.lynvillas.com, if you are interested at all, just let me know.. PM me.. the price you see on the screen.. is not necessarily the price.. that is for the people who go thru the management company we have for the place.

      Hello @A Wilson, Glad you found us. There is your answer. The results from the tests are just more data to the puzzle.

      Is it gluten?

      Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis. Rebound tenderness, fever. Is it gluten? Yes. It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency. Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough. Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin...

I'm going Tuesday but since reading on here I'm thinking now why bother I've been suffering for that long has I can remember I've reached out to docters since I was in my 20s im now Immy 50s was told IBS and health aniexty was my problem what prompted me to go back again this time was the long list of problems I've also had which they also know about but never said any were connected I've had bad bouts that put me in bed for days I cut carbs out years ago and saw a difference but uneducated just thout see it must be a better way of eating didn't realise it was actually showing me to cut gluten out I've been back and forth to docters that much they have put me down has I have health aniexty causing it in a nut shell it's in my head yet over the years I've had sickness medication scans over my kidneys my liver my tummy for the pain flu like symptoms were put down to my bad rhinitis hair shredding was put down to stress vitamin d deficiency put down to food my 3 herniated discs degenerative and slight sclorocis believe it or not was my posture achy legs syndrome and bad blood circulation to my low mobility threw my back I can go on and on what they tryed to tell me I got that bad i realised it's maybe more than IBS and yes I do suffer aniexty but the way they have made me feel like it's all in my head is time to stop because cutting out gluten and lactose had been the best thing I have done I only went back because I was a little worried after struggling for so long if I had damaged my bowel i just hoped I would get help threw tests sorry for long post but you are not alone with the worry of the test results but if you know yourself then you be your docter and help yourself too but always push for help if   you have abdominal pain it could be other things too it took me 15 years to get a MRI for my back you can imagine my thouts Wen I got my results that it wasn't just my posture had I'd been told even unable to walk was my fault lol  so if you are struggling seek out help anyway you can and be consistent till you get answers 🤗

      Hi @Woodster991, You do need to see a health professional to make sure it is not appendicitis.  Rebound tenderness, fever.   Is it gluten?  Yes.  It is also serious vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Either by Celiac Disease malabsortion, food avoidance or just not getting enough.  Consider significantly increasing your intake of vitamin D, B1, Choline, Iodine, B2, B3, B5, B12.  The vitamin D test, (25(OH)D, is simple and accurate. Whole Milk yogurt and berries to populate your gut with benificial bacteria.  I drink Red Bull for energy.  Eat food low in omega 6 fatty acids. The ideal ratio is less than 3 omega 6 to 1 omega 3.  For some, the Modern American Diet is estimated to be more than 14:1.  Very inflammatory.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1. Whether Celiac Disease (1% of the population) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population) would take blood tests and endoscopy. It is either that, or you have managed to contract 6 or 7 different diseases at the same time. You don't need a doctor's permission to not eat gluten anymore than you would to eat Chinese food.
