Gluten Free Dining Plan Reviews

[No Wheat Pete]

Hi,
We are huge WDW fans - mostly because of the gluten free options at every restaurant. Since our daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease three years ago, Disney has become our vacation hero. I am working on putting together a Disney Dining Resource of my website. (www.EatToLearn.com) Review are categorized by Park and Restaurant for easy searching. I don't have many yet, but I know that WDW accommodates gluten free guests everyday, so they are out there.

Would anyone who posted a review here be willing to submit them to my website? There is a simple form to fill out - you can just copy and paste your reviews into the information area of the form. The link is: http://www.eattolearn.net/Eat_To_Learn/DISNEY%21.html

Thank you so much! Happy Gluten Free Dining!

Please PM me after the 2nd week or so in January and I'll be more than happy to! Our vacation is the first week of January. My brain is so frazzled I know I won't remember between now and then.

Thanks for making that website. It sounds like a great tool for all of us with Celiac!

I wonder if a gluten-free & egg-free cake would be any good. We had an egg-free cake last year and it just didn't taste very well.

Absolutely it CAN be very good. I don't know if the ones there are or not since we've never ordered a cake. I make amazing cakes though. Apple sauce instead of egg makes for a very tasty gluten, milk and egg free cake. According to the chef I spoke to last month at POFQ (he phoned me to talk about our upcoming trip), for allergy free pancakes and waffles he always uses apple sauce instead of eggs and apple juice instead of milk. They use Bob's Red Mill pancake mix and all I know is that when I've tried using that mix at home, it never tasted nearly as good as the ones at WDW. I haven't tried the mix since we figured out egg free but I've made many cakes and cupcakes with apple sauce and IMO they're even nicer than with eggs. It adds a touch of sweetness and moisture that you don't get with eggs and it still binds the way eggs do. Give it a chance.

I just wanted to post that I have placed a link to this thread in post #3 of the disABILITIES FAQs thread (near the top of this board or follow the link in my signature to get there).
That way, if it's not on the first page of threads, you will still be able to find it.

Thanks for the info! My husband had been making egg-free cakes with sour cream and something else, but never tried apple sauce. Well have to give it a shot. Now we need to see if anyone in our area sells Bob's Red Mill mixes.

If they don't have the mixes in your area, I'm pretty sure you can order them from their website and I believe amazon.com also has a selection

Wow Just found this Thread and your reviews were wonderful. Both of my parents have Celieacs and Disney is the best. Weve had many great experiances as well. But thank you cause I am always looking for more places with exciting meals for them to eat and Ive found a few news ones in your reviews.

Thanks! I was just looking at Bob's Red Mill site today. Their prices on the bundles includes shipping. I'll have to check Amazon too. Thanks!

By the way, I no longer have Celiac's Disease. According to my mother-in-law she understands that they can't bring anything over for Christmas dinner because I have Silly *** Disease. That's what her husband told her and she believed him!!!

 

[itradehilton]

"Silly *** Disease" And we wonder why it is easier to just say allergy.

This months Bon Appetit magizine has a article Called "Gluten-free pasta cookoff". It gives the names of their top three picks for Gluten-free pasta.

 

[chell]

Yes, allergy is easier with his family!

Ooh, I will have to check out that issue. Now I need to remember if that is a magazine that I get.

 

[chell]

My husband says that we do get that magazine. Now I just have to find it.

OMG, that is too funny We have problems, my DH's family does not understand it either. Before the celiac diagnosis, when it was "only" the tree nut and strawberry allergy it was bad enough- they'd do things like cover a fruit cobbler in walnuts, but "oh, I left this tiny corner without nuts for you" and then be surprised that I wouldn't/couldn't eat it. It's hard enough to deal with the allergies but it stinks even more that no one gets it

That's why it is easier to just tell them not to bring anything. At least we have a new name for our disease now.

Yummy Gluten Free Cake.

 

[cheesekate2005]

That looks yummy! Where did you have the cake?

It was ordered from the cake hotline and delivered to Chef Mickey's.

 

[cheesekate2005]

Wow, do you know roughly how much they are getting for these cakes these days? Last time I was there the prices were getting steep...I am preparing for my August trip! We have birthday's to celebrate!

 

[snorris49]

OMG that cake looks to die for!
Is it just gluten free or is it dairy and soy free too?

The cake I ordered from the Wilderness Lodge is a GF, dairy free, soy free cake. It was $29.50 for a 6 inch cake, but it was the first non-homemade GF cake I will have and I can't wait!
