GF dining

[Haymak]

I am going to DL/DCA in a few weeks with my SIL and I was wondering what are some good GF dining choices, she is the one that is GF so I am not familiar with what she can and cant have. We are making one meal Café Orleans because we cannot go without the Pomme Fritas! Some recommendations would be appreciated, other then Café Orleans I think we will just do counter service. Thanks!

There's a gluten-free super thread. I remember sharing it with a friend whose daughter was just diagnosed Celiac. She said it was really helpful.

Unfortunately, I just tried to search for it, but couldn't. I struggle with using the search function on DISboards. Not sure why.

Maybe someone else could help you find it?

Good luck!

After the initial post you might want to work backwards through the thread. DLR discontinued allergy lists 2 1/2 years ago. As an example, the list in the first thread has the old Blue Bayou menu, before the May 2013 changes. So you may not want to rely on that list too heavily.

In general, I've found Disney to be very good with gluten-free diets. At the counter-service locations, they should have a notebook of the ingredients of each product they use, so you can determine if the products are GF, and they will also do things like cook your french fries in a dedicated fryer (so there is no cross contamination with other breaded fried foods cooked in the same oil). At table service restaurants, you can have the chef come out and talk with you about your GF options. I've also had chefs walk through a buffet line with me showing me which foods are GF, and also provide other items not on the menu or on the buffet that are GF.

We just did Napa Rose Chef Counter and had a Gluten Free person with us. The food the Chef prepared for him was freakin amazing...down to the gluten free bread pre meal. I have a slight intolerance and usually don't care enough not to deal with the symptoms, but next time I am gonna request gluten free as well!

In addition to Napa Rose, Cathay Circle also has great Gluten Free options as well.
