I wonder if they are Kinnikinnick donuts? Now you've got me craving a donut!
When I was at Boma last August, they offered me Kinnikinnick donuts for breakfast.

I just found a recent entry on the Disney Food Blog about GF items at F&W. Here is the link http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/
I'm very curious about the Warm Chocolate Lava Cake with Baileys at the Ireland booth, but I will definitely check the ingredient book first.
I think that would be an interesting concept. I think it would really depend on their background and expertise in allergies/intolerance/etc.Hopefully this doesn't cross any guidelines here on the DIS.
What do you think of a travel agent who specializes in assisting guests with food allergies/intolerance/issues/etc? Would you be more willing to use them?

WOW! This thread is amazing!!! My mom is currently going thru this, eliminating things to see what she is allergic to - and we think its narrowed down to dairy and gluten. So reading thru this gives us hope for next summer!!
Thank you so much to everyone who has posted!!!

I'll be honest; it wouldn't make a difference to me. Before our first trip with allergies our TA sent me a copy of Passporters for Special Needs (the predecessor to Open Mouse) because of our discussions about food allergies as well as autism and really that was all I needed. For me, it's more important that my TA have quick response time and is on the ball for getting specials applied quickly when them become available. I chose to vacation at Disney because I had read about how accomodating Disney is for special needs as opposed to wanting to go to Disney then having to research if it's do-able.
For your average guest who isn't as obsessive compulsive as I am, it would likely be helpful. You would want to advertise with various celiac and food allergy organizations if that really is a specialty. For a newbie it would be nice to have a TA who knows things like the difference between Disney owned and non-Disney owned restaurants as well as what to expect from Special Diets and so on.
I have a couple reviews/pictures to post, but I'm still sorting. For now, I wanted to note that at Crystal Palace I had oatmeal on the list of things I could have, and at Whispering Canyon there was granola on my fruit plate. Not sure if Disney is not considering oats as a gluten containing item or if they are using gluten free oats, but I skipped the oatmeal and only ate a couple pieces of fruit from the fruit plate, just in case.
