Best Restaurants for Gluten free guests

[Kay2397]

We have taken several trips to Wdw but this will be a first since my husband was diagnosed with celiacs. I have always heard that Disney can be very accommodating with food allergies. Are there some restaurants that are better than others? These are the restaurants that we planning on visiting so far:
Ohana (breakfast and dinner)
Be our guest (lunch)
Sanaa (dinner)
Crystal Palace (breakfast)
Via Napoli (lunch)
Tusker House (Dinner)
We are looking for a new place to try any suggestions for us?
We will be traveling with our daughters who are 6 and 9.

They are all good really. My kids are gluten free plus many more foods and Biergarten is where they eat the best.

Be Our Guest is good and has a special gluten free cupcake. Crystal Palace has always been a good choice for allergy concerns as well. They all have similar dessert options and roll/bread substitutes.

I don't know when your trip is planned, but ours is in about four weeks. I have ADRs for many of the same places and have celiac disease. I am so excited to be able to eat at all of the restaurants. We are doing Be Our Guest (lunch and dinner), Crystal Palace (breakfast), and Tusker House (dinner) as well.

Ohana, BOG and Sanaa are all great for gluten free. Ohana will bring your husband a separate plate of food for breakfast with mickey waffles, potatoes and eggs. BOG lunch is my favorite in MK and I usually get the roast beef sandwich on millet bread with a side of green beans. You can pre-order the gf meal just like pre-ordering any other meal. Sanaa has a lot of naturally gf food and will bring him his own platter of naan for the bread service. All the bread service condiments are gf. I also recommend Spice Road Table and Biergarten in Epcot for ts meals and Sunshine Seasons qs.
I haven't been to Via Napoli because they don't have gf pizza, only gf pasta dishes. Tutto Italia has gf pasta too but I'm not crazy about it. It's not bad, it's just not any different than gf pasta I can get at home and I like to eat new or different things at Disney because they are so good at gf dining.
Flame Tree in AK is good, as is Bongos and Raglan Road (fish and onion rings are amazing!) in DS. I don't like Erin McKenna's bakery in DS.
You'll have a great trip and he won't feel like he's missing out on anything, Disney is really good with gf dining!

WDW is one of the places that actually does get it.....We live in Northern NJ, (minutes from NYC) & not every place up here is up to speed w/ GF options...It's amazing..

My wife has been GF for 4 years or so now, and EVERY TS/ QS the chef or Manager ( sometimes both ) Are more than happy to accommodate you. They go out of there way to make your meal special.... The chef at 50's P/T cafe this past Nov. was a saint. She went above and beyond for sure...

We've eaten at every one of your choices that you have and never had any issues. The buffets they usually walk you around with them and recommend what to try. My DW is not a meat eater anymore so Ohana wasn't an issue.

What we would've like to see is a GF pizza though at VN..Not just the GF pasta, but it did suffice.
TH I believe we did before finding out she was GF, but it should be the same as other buffets.

Be Our guest is good for lunch, but GREAT for dinner. One of the best we've had for sure.
I'd suggest 50's P/T---@ HS
We found a true hidden gem , The Wave--@ CR
1900 PF Breakfast 1st choice dinner 2nd---@ GF
San Angel Inn is quite nice ambience and all. food is pretty good here. typical mexican--@ Epcot
I like Bongo's a lot---Down-- @ --DS

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I think I may check out 50's prime time (I never know where to eat at HS). We might also look into the Wave and 1900 PF for breakfast. We have done dinner there but never breakfast.

We will be there at a very busy time (week leading up to Easter).

This disclaimer should always be included for GF people in regards to Via Napoli....

Just a reminder, their kitchen is an open concept kitchen and flour goes everywhere in their restaurant in small amounts, so cross contamination is very much a possibility.

We just visited WDW in early December. Like you, we have made many trips to WDW, but this was the first visit since my daughter, 21, was diagnosed with celiac disease (she was diagnosed in July). I will tell you that every restaraunt we went to was excellent. The chef came to the table each time and told her what her options were. If it was a buffet, they would walk her through the buffet and tell her what was safe and what was not. If she had concerns about cross contamination, they would let her point out what she wanted and they would deliver fresh food from the kitchen to her. We ate at some of your listed restaurants. Even the counter services had separate "allergy safe" menus and they would deliver the food on a special colored tray. She did not feel deprived at all and did not get sick. There is an app available for smart phones called "gluten free Walt Disney WOrld". It has almost every restaurant at WDW listed and what the gluten free menu options are. I think I paid a few dollars for the app but I found it to be super helpful and very accurate...well worth the cost. Good luck and don't worry. Disney takes food allergies very serious and they are so good at dealing with it.

I will check out that app. Thanks for the tip
