Gluten Free, Autism and Disneyland

[lisadoll93]

We are taking 3yo DS, recently dx'd. He is on a GF diet. Does anyone know of places that can prepare food for him? Any suggestions, ideas are greatly welcomed. This will be our first trip since the dx'd. We will be staying on site to make it easier for him to rest when need be.

Thanks,
Lisa

My mom was able to get Gluten free pasta and cookies at Goofy's Kitchen. It was a buffet so there were a few things she could eat. It's also a character meal which would be fun for the kids! Good luck and have a great trip!

Where is Goofy's kitchen?

Sorry I just realized it's DL not DW.

We stayed at Vacation club so that my aspie son could rest when he wanted to and I could prepare the food he wanted at the right time. It would have been very difficult to have stayed in a hotel room. I would suggest a villa every time.

Sorry for the confusion but I was talking about Disneyland, CA.

Thanks for the tip about Goofy's kitchen.

If you're going to Disneyland and like the idea of having a kitchen to prepare your own food, there are lots of hotels and suites within walking distance of the front gates. Staying on-site at Disneyland isn't quite the same as staying on-site at WDW. The hotels are clustered all around Disneyland and some are even a shorter walk from the gates than the 3 they have "on-site." Many of the hotels in the area have kitchens or at least refrigerators and microwaves in the rooms. Hope you have a great trip!
