Re: Disney World on gfcf diet?

[Guest guest]

Meggie-

We stay at the Wilderness cabins - they have full kitchens complete with

stove, microwave, refrig, dishwasher etc. This really helped us alot. If

you call in advance any of the restaurants can accomodate gfcf. We had GREAT

luck and a wonderful experience at the Liberty Tree Tavern in the Magic

Kingdom. Chef Denis Callinan treated our son like a king and made him a

wonderful gfcf feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, rice rolls and much more.

Call and ask to talk to him personally - he'll set you up. The number is

1-.

Hope this helps.

In place of the Mickey bars, they have GFCF strawberry popsicles which are

good. Also, every single restaurant in DW CAN AND WILL do GFCF if you give

them a few days notice. We have no problem doing GFCF at DW.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe this. They know how to cook gfcf? That

is fantastic! Which restaurants did this for you and did you need to

give them specific instructions/recipies or did they have some

choices that you picked from. I would like to know any details you

can provide. This is SO exciting to hear! Thanks, Meggie

I could not agree more. We dined at the Liberty Tree Tavern for

Thanksgiving, and that chef is fantastic! Our one big let down, the

Mcs french fry cart is still there but they said it has been closed

for 3 months!! WEndi Dupuy

Meggie-

All of the chefs we spoke to knew exactly what gfcf was and what ingredients

to avoid. We had breakfast at the Wilderness Lodge with the Pooh characters

and the chef (although not as great as at Liberty Tree Tavern) made some

wonderful pancakes with rice and potato flour and some wonderful breads with

tapioca flour and other substitutes. They all seem to be very well informed

and you can discuss the menu ahead of time to be sure it is exactly what you

need.

Dont worry about crowds. You can obtain a special assistance pass. We did

this last week. We got on almost every ride either through the wheelchair

entrance or through the fast pass line without needing a fast pass.

Everyone was very nice about it. is not a patient waiter!! Big

surprise. It was so quick, we rode everything, somethings twice, and had

lunch all before noon. Its kind of a shame that the Mcs French Fry

cart has been closed. I am sending them a letter to try and find out if its

permanent-has not been open in 3 months. Wendi Dupuy

One of my friends took her autistic son to Disney and w/ a note she was able

to go to the front of each ride-- since standing in line can be difficult

for those w/ behavioral problems etc.-- This may make some of us more

confident to attempt Disneyland.

-We did this when we went to Disney World two winters ago. Some of the lines

such as " It's a Small World " moved very fast so we didn't use it on them but

if the lines were moving very slowly we would use it. We had a very

enjoyable day. In some ways I felt a little bad about using it as looks

normal and we are trying to teach her that sometimes she has to wait but we

avoided a melt down having to wait. It made it so much more " doable " .
