I am celiac plus no soy, egg, dairy and chocolate, avoid fizzy drinks and caffeine plus I do not do booze in food and nothing that looks like it did when alive. I LOVE DISNEY FOOD.
Talk to chefs at each counter service for more information especially sit down restaurants. Bakeries, candy shops and other purveyors of food have a list of ingredient so you will know if that candy is safe. There is the possibility of cross contamination if they recycle the chocolate they use in dipping things. At ice cream shops there is the possibility of cross contamination from CMs who bang the hot fudge ladle on the waffle cones and they do not understand cross contamination. Ice cream shops will open a new tub and use a new scooper to prevent cross contamination of ice cream though.
Avoid any hot dogs that are sold from stands. They are premade so taking off the bun will not make them GF. The same is true of all prepackaged items. You can removed the factory sealed goldfish crackers from the Kid's Power Meal for example but a premade salad with croutons is not safe if they just take the salad back and pick out the croutons.
The following is not the ultimate information and you still need to read labels and talk to chefs.

Yeast
http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/lofiversion/index.php/t16386.html
Usually tortule and tortula yeast is safe and the proper name is tortula. Maltodextrin can come from corn and other plants. If it was from wheat then the packaged should be labeled as having wheat.[/QUOTE]
DLR stands
There is fresh fruit, trail mix, Mickey Bars, frozen bananas, slurpees, cotton candy, popcorn, kettle corn, caramel corn, corn on the cob, turkey legs, Fruit Bu (fruit leather like a Roll Up), fresh veggies such as carrot sticks, Delicias mango bars, and most if not all of the novelties. All stands that sell food take credit cards and other cards such as gift cards with the exception of prepackaged stadium foods like cotton candy and ice cream novelties.
Tomorrowland Terrace
They offer burgers with bacon and cheese (can hold cheese and/or bacon) on gluten free bun, fries, veggies sandwich on gluten free bun, grilled chicken sandwich, grilled chicken salad with raspberry dressing, yogurt parfait, fruit plate, and a breakfast meal. Option of cole slaw instead of
french fries and they have the Kid's Power Pack meal that is full of dairy and no gluten. This is a standard burger with option of cheese and bacon. It is the same burger that you get at Pinocchio Haus. It was pretty good for a gluten free burger and filling, it is food and the price is right.
Redd Rockett's Pizza Port
I loved the rice noodles in mainara sauce but it took 20 minutes to get it.
The barbecue chicken pizza is to die for but they use KC Masterpiece sauce so you can decide if that is safe or not. Some chefs will not make the chicken pizza though and some will.
Pepperoni pizza, OMG, faint.
They have salads also. Ask for a chef and they will walk you through the menu.
Tiki Bar
Everything there is safe and Dole whips have soy and casein but not lactose.
Village Haus
Standard hamburger patty with bacon and cheese that is wrapped in lettuce.
French fries were the best part and they do dedicated fryers. They do not have buns currently but do have a fruit plate.
I liked their burger but nothing can beat TAste Pilot's Grill.
ToonTown: Toon-Up Treats
Not eaten there but you can get a chef salad and the kids hot dog with apple sauce and no bun.
Clarabelle's
The only things available is the Kid's Power Pack with string cheese and ice cream novelties. The parfait is premade so they cannot make it GF.
Blue Bayou
They are remodeling the kitchen and I am waiting to give them a second chance. I got a chunk of chicken, plain rice noodles with no sauce and veggies. For the price I could have had me a steak dinner at the plaza inn, a cheddar burger, a hot dog, chips, fries, and 3 drinks plus one popcorn.
The service was great as was the restaurant but I do not like restaurants that cannot even serve me plain white rice or a boiled potato. Bring ketchup.
Cafe Orleans
Not been there lately and they have salads, ratatouille, and the kids chicken and salmon meals with plain rice noodles.
Rancho Del Zocalo
Not been there either, lately, sigh, so many places to eat.
They offer vegetable and plain tacos, corn tortilla quesadillas, enchiladas, roasted chicken, fruit plate, and tostada salad without shell.
Celebration Round Up Barbecue
Not tried this but they have barbecued tofu and GF meals except for dessert.
Stage Door Cafe and Golden Horseshoe Saloon
I got gluten and soy free french fries from their kitchen via the Golden Horseshoe Saloon and they were a sorry state but they were still french fries. They share the same kitchen. Ice Cream should be safe.
Kid's POWER Pack - with string cheese, Nonfat yogurt, sliced apples and whole-grain "fish" crackers. Includes choice of small Low-fat milk, orange juice, or small bottled water. $5.99
That is one option as the crackers are prepackaged.
Hungry Bear Restaurant
I been waiting for it to come out of refurbishment.
currently it is bacon cheeseburger, fries and checken caesar salad.
Plaza Inn
Minnie's breakfast is to die for and they make omelets, and the best gluten free waffles plus the chef made special for me potatos and ham.
Steak uses montreal version of McCormick Grillmates and seems to be GF and I had no reaction except to the soy and that was not really noticible. They also use Grey Poupon on the steak.
They also offer mashed taters, veggies and a bunch of chicken drummetes.
Carnation Cafe
WORST GF food in the park. Everyone else gets a steak with carmelized onions and cheese. I got veggies or salad and the steak on a gluten free hot dog bun. I could not have salad as they have no soy free dressing. I was disgusted by the steak. It was just some chopped steak on a bun. no cheese or onions. If I ever eat there again I will be bringing french fries and the toppings for a philly steak sandwich. I do not recommend this restaurant to GF people due to poor service and food that is not fit for a dog. It was an insult to hand me a plain steak when I should have had cheese and onions. They do not understand that GF does not mean no cheese and onions.
Blue Ribbon Bakery
They offer in the morning containers of yogurt such as Dannon like you get a in a grocery store. They also have fruit.
Coke Corner
HEAVEN
Hot dog on a GF bun, chips and a drink. Love this place.
Award Weiners
They have great hot dogs on gluten free buns.
Pizza Oom Mow Mow
I love this place and staff spoils me rotten.
they have the best GF pizza around.
Cocina Cucamonga
Not tried recently and it is low on my list because I am part Hispanic and know enough about Mexican food to be insulted by their meager offerings. Kid's chicken taco is all you can have. Aint they ever heard of adult sized corn tortillas made the old fashioned way without wheat.
Baker's Field Bakery
Chicken Caesar Salad and not tried that or them lately.
Tate Pilot's Grill
SHEER BLISS
cheddarburgers that are thick and juicy on a gluten free bun plus criss cross fries. They have kid's sliders without bun, chicken salad, and grilled chicken sandwich on GF bun. The barbecue sauce is yummy and safe as well as the fresh onions, tomatos, and lettuce. A really nice toppings bar.
Ariel's Grotto
SHEER BLISS
The chef will talk with you and make you a meal to your needs. I love the food and have spent way too much money there.
Cove Bar
Currently open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only. Kids are allowed at tables ONLY. They do carry in DLR gluten free beer. Talk to the chef and you should be able to get something gluten free. Enter via Ariel's but go striaght on through the upstairs to the bar. Not tried it as it always seems to be closed when I am there.
Golden Vine Winery - Trattoria
The chefs will spoil you here and I recommend it as well.
Karl Strauss's beer truck
They sell black pepper popcorn and I aint been daring enough to try that.
[bSchmoozies[/b]
They sell smoothies which should be GF but at the price of one I am not paying that much just to try one as i am dairy free.
FairFax Market
They sell fruit and veggie related snacks as well as trail mix which most if not all are GF. This is located across from the animation building.
Places that are not on the GF list
Riverbelle Terrace is not on the GF list and I went there for breakfast and they could not even offer me a slice of bacon or a piece of fruit and did not try.
Bengal Barbecue Is not on their list. Their PArfai is probably premade back backstage thus the crunchy stuff cannot be removed. They have Frito -Lay chips and a fruit cup but not sure if that is safe. It is their sauces that makes them flavorful and thus not GF.
Pluto's Diner
Nothing GF there except drinks and the pizza probably is made backstage.
French Market
I think they closed.
Royal Street Veranda
Used to have yummy food in a bowl. Not sure why we cannot just get a bowl of the gumbo. Only the drinks are GF at this shop at the corner next to Pirates.
Little Red Wagon
Located near Plaza Inn and they have the best corn dogs but those are not GF. They sell Frito Lay chips and the usual drinks. Might as well go to Coke Corner.
Pacific Wharf
They sell sandwiches, stuff in bread bowls, bread, and salads. I have not tried to eat there lately. I do not know why they are not on the GF list. Usually a site will make burgers without a bun or salads without the crunchies.
San Andreas Shakes
Not listed on the GF list. I would worry about cross contamination from shakes containing cookie pieces. They do sell ice cream in a cup.
=================================
All restaurants at the Hotels have GF offerings. I love Hook's Pointe, Goofy's breakfast
, Napa Rose, and PCH Grill. Some have few things and some like the character buffets make fresh waffles and pancakes that are GF, omelets to order, fresh fruit and excuse me as I am going to be daydreaming about that food.
=======================
Downtown Disney is hit and miss. I do not recommend ESPN zone as they could not provide me with potatos or rice with my GF meal. Rainforest Cafe was the same way. Any restaurant that cannot boil me a potato or even offer plain white rice is not worthy of being called a restaurant and don't get recommended.
I have not tried the others but be warned that Uva Bar, Catal and Naples are out of the people who own the Tuto restaurant in Epcot which is known for not being allergy friendly at times. I have so much money and am going to try
Disneyland and DCA restaurants first. I have 20 in park and over 30 total to check still and only so much funding, time, and room for that much food. 2 meals a day is a lot for me. I fight the urge to go to the same happy places over and over. I am making an exception for Plaza Inn as they spoil me and make me feel like I am their personal guest and I have had one reaction and it was gluttony. I ate too much each time.
