Re: Suggestions for Disney World

We stayed at the dolphin and had no trouble at all. We just asked at each restaurant .Sent from my iPhoneOn Jul 6, 2010, at 1:58 PM, Melia <rmelia@...> wrote:

Hi,

We are going to Disney World in a week and a half. I have found the link for special dietary restrictions http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/guest-services/special-dietary-requests/ and it looks like many of their restaurants can accomodate gluten free and requests to call 14 days ahead. I am going with a group so not sure where we will be eating and can't easily make reservations now.

So wondering...

*Have people eaten at the Disney World restaurants with success? Do the menus list GF items? Do I have to make reservations in advance? How about the quick serve food?

*Are there any grocery stores with GF foods close by?

Thanks in advance for answers to these questions and any other tips!

Disney World is awesome for gluten free, and you are going to have a blast. I recommend the hotel restaurants or better table service restaurants. Call the reservations hotline and book breakfast and dinner reservations - even same day reservations can be done if things aren't too busy. Tell them you need gluten free for every reservation. Ask for suggestions if you have no idea where to go, and the person on the phone will hook you up.

When you get your table, confirm with the wait staff that you need gluten-free options, and they will go get the chef who will cover all your options.  If you can't get a reservation ahead of time, but do wind up in a restaurant, just tell the front desk or your server that you need gluten

free. I had a chef come and talk to me at every dining venue. These guys were on task! Also check with the information desk in each park, right by the entrance. I know Disneyland in SoCal has a printout of everything gluten free in the resort, and I'm almost certain that Florida has the same program. Handy for snacks, impromptu meals in the parks, etc.

All the character breakfasts will have gluten free pancakes and many have mickey waffles. My favorite breakfast place was Cape May at the Yacht Club Resort. Favorite dinner place was the California Grill (I know - the irony of going to Florida for a California restaurant) in the Contemporary Resort. Allow plenty of time to get to each - the bus service is extensive, but it still takes a while to get from point A to point B.
