Most places have gluten free bread and buns, so you can order many of the sandwiches and burgers, just request them with GF bread/buns. I keep hoping Disney will step up their game in this area in the near future!I've just recently gone gluten free too and I found WDW to be great at handling it. When you get to the place you want to eat something, tell the person taking your order that you need gluten free. Some places will actually have one of the managers come out and take your order. Your gluten free item will be made in a separate area of the kitchen so it doesn't get cross-contaminated. One of the benefits of this process is that your food will be made fresh when you order it.
Here are a couple of good experiences I had:
Woody's Lunchbox - I ordered a GF grilled cheese sandwich from the kids menu. It was pleasantly surprised with it. I found myself wishing I would've gotten the full-sized adult grilled cheese!
Pizza window on the Boardwalk - They make a GF pizza. I was a little hesitant to order it, but I did and I'm glad I did. It was pretty tasty!
Not so good experience:
At the Roaring Fork (wilderness lodge) I ordered a GF brownie. It was a packaged brownie and was dry, dry, dry and very bland.
When looking for a "treat", I found it best to stick to things that are naturally GF. Like the krispie treats or ice cream. I actually haven't seen any "fresh baked goods" that are GF (like the fancy cupcakes or cookies). If someone else has seen these in the parks, please let me know. I would love to try them on my next trip!!!
Thanks for the heads up on the Krispie treats!!!
Np!
She didn't do actual research on the numerous websites where people post their experiences on eating GF in the parks and resorts. You can also do a search on here as GF threads pop up frequently. Sometimes they're on the Special Needs boards, so you can look there also.I absolutely can't stand Erin McKenna's baked goods. She uses a lot of bean flours, which give a weird aftertaste, and the items are also dairy free, I believe. Sprinkles is a MUCH, MUCH better choice for a gf baked good. I had the red velvet cupcake twice on my last trip!
The beignets are a MUST for me! However, they are no longer in the Sassagoula QS, they moved all the beignets (GF and regular) to Scat Cat's, which is right outside the entrance to Sassagoula.
I didn't have an issue, but I'm not that sensitive to very small amounts of gluten either. And I didn't ask about the preparation, although I did order two regular cupcakes for my daughter at the same time and they asked me if I wanted them packaged separately from the gluten free one, which I did have them do.
This website is great and shows all the allergy friendly menus. We were there in July and I felt like they catered to me more than anyone in our party. It was amazing.
This is great thanks so much
