Disney World

Hi everyone,

I just had to stop in and share my experience about the wonderful gluten free time I had at Disney World. I know that summer is coming and vacation time is near, and it is always a stressful decision for my family and I to go anywhere and wonder if I will be able to eat anything. We had these wonders about going to Disney World and were so pleasantly surprised that I just had to share! I had some of the best gluten free dining experiences while on vacation. The first day I ate in the Magic Kingdom. My family and I went to a burger joint and I fully expected to eat a burger with no bun and no fries on the side. Low and behold, I was very very wrong. When I went to order my food, I asked the cashier if she knew if the fries were fried in the same oil as chicken tenders. She asked if I had an allergy, I said yes, and she said wait here let me get you a manager. The manager comes out toting a huge binder full of allergy information. We flipped to the celiac section together and pieced together a meal for me. I had a hamburger, with a bun! It was some really great bread too. She also had the chefs bake some French fries for me so I could have fries with my lunch. Also, when she brought out my burger, she brought me two, just in case I got hungry later! I wrapped the burger up and brought it home for a snack later. The next day while in Epcot, I had another fantastic meal in Little Italy. We were having a bit harder of a time finding food, all of the countries had gluten free options (which were wonderful) but some were more limited than others. We passed by Little Italy and I really didn

Wow! Gluten-free bread and pasta at a restaurant! Now that's amazing.

Do you know if Disneyland is as accommodating? I am planning a trip for next year.

YES! I went yesterday and they were amazing. Ask for their celiac/gluten free list at city hall. If you're going to a sit-down restaurant, reserve ahead, but I was so happy to find out there was quite a lot I could eat at walk-up restaurants! Ask for a manager or chef, and with no hesitation they come out and talk to you, let you know your options, and oversee what you get! They were friendly, very accommodating, and it didn't feel like I was asking them to do a tremendous chore.

Yesterday I had rice pasta with marinara for lunch, and a hamburger (with gluten-free bun!!), and fries (cooked in a dedicated frier!) for dinner. They also have pizza (that was in tomorrowland). This was my first real outing like that since dx in mid February.... I was so excited I almost cried!

There is also fresh fruit available all over the park. Not cheap, but where there is!? =)

My bro has kids will all sorts of complicated allergies, and they've had GREAT experience with all things Disney (even their cruises).

Cheers.

I too had a wonderful experience at Disney World. Everyone was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I LOVE DISNEY!! Since we live in Florida we visit there several times a year.

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.
