Celiac Dining Reviews

[crazik]

We just returned from a week at Disney with my In-Laws, with a celiac MIL. Having researched here ahead of time, I thought I would comment quickly on her successes with gluten-free dining in Disney.

Highlights:

Kona Cafe - the chef made her a macadamia encrusted chicken dish (similar to the one on the menu). She absolutely loved it! They also brought out special rolls and butter for her.

50's Prime Time Cafe - Chef said he could make her ANYTHING from the menu gluten free. She had her first fried chicken in 10 years... Thought it was great!

Whispering Canyon Cafe - Gluten free pancakes... thought they were excellent.


Lowlights:

Pizzafari - She ordered the gluten free pizza. Apparently it tasted really bad... It was also nearly 10 dollars, about 4 dollars more than a normal pizza. I don't think it's appropriate for disney to upcharge for this convenience. Oh well.

Overall she had an amazing dining experience at Disney. The chefs are VERY accommodating and will try hard to satisfy. Gluten free dining gets an "A-" score!

I have a friend with celiac. She loves eating a burger at the American Adventure because she normally cannot eat the bun, and they offer a gluten free one. So you understand for her that is a treat!
Glad it worked out for you on your trip. Made your stay much smoother I am sure. And I will be sure to share your review with my friend. Thanks!

My fil can only eat gluten free also, our last trip was great. For Pizza at Disney he really liked the pizza at pin. village haus in mk. We all wanted to trade our waffles at Ohana's for his, and some of his deserts were twice what ours were.....Disney does this diet well!!
Also on the fried chicken, at home you can bread it in pure corn meal, and I have also heard of some using pork rhinds....your mil could have chicken more often...

Thanks for your reviews. I'm a celiac sufferer myself, so it's nice to read other people's experiences of dining at Disney.
