I posted this (my first post) on the dining side, but was told that it was better to post over here!
We will be going to DW in October with our 4yr old DD who is GF (Celiac). I am pretty confident about the places we have ADRs at, but want some info on a couple other places:
First, the places we have confirmed: CP (breakfast); LTT (lunch); Chef Mickeys (dinner); Biergarten (dinner). Any info?
Second, we are staying at OKW and probably only plan on eating breakfasts there...what is the quick service like there? I know it's only at Goods to Go, but wondering what options they have that are GF?
And finally, at Downtown Disney - any recs on TS options that are good with GF?
I have done several trips (not to DW) with DD while she is GF, but for some reason this one is making me more nervous! Maybe because on other trips we've driven and packed a lot of food with us...
Thanks!!
 
You have nothing to worry about, my DD is 13 now and we have been going to Disney every year since she was 2. She has been on gluten free diet since she was 4, and we have never had any problems at Disney. Over the years we have dinned at all of those restaurants and never had any issues. Although I can not remember specific food options, each one of them will have a large selection of gluten free offerings. We are going back this August and will be visiting some of those places, Biergarten being one of my DD's favorites. After so many visits I only make few reservations, and know that wherever we choose to eat she will always have nice selection of gluten free dishes to choose from. Disney is probably one of the best vacation places to visit while on a gluten free diet. One year we even had a gluten free cake made for her and delivered to Narcoossee's for a special birthday celebration. So whether you choose any of the quick service or table service restaurants she will always find something gluten free to eat.:goodvibes
 
I agree. My husband and son both have celiac and we have yet to have any issues at DisneyWorld or Disneyland. We were at DisneyWorld at the end of June. When we were at Downtown Disney, we ate at Fresh-A-Peel. Lots of gluten free options, plus Babycakes, a gluten free bakery, is located in the same building. They had wonderful gluten free desserts: cupcakes, donuts, cookies. All incredibly delicious!
 
At Downtown Disney, I've had good luck with Cooke's of Dublin (wow, gluten free fish and chips!!) and Wolfgang Puck Express. Babycakes is awesome and there are lots of sweets to choose from there.

At OKW, I've only been to Olivia's for lunch. They were fairly good with the food allergy options (gluten/dairy). I know they have the Udi's rolls there.
 

I keep forgetting the name Cooks of Dublin. Where are they anyway? They're gluten and milk free, right? Do you know if they use an egg wash?

They are in that in-between Pleasure Island area (or the are formerly known as PI) and the bend before you head to the Marketplace. (They are next to Raglan Road) If you are in PI and you pass Fulton's Crab House and Portobello, you've gone to far.

They are gluten and milk free. I don't think they use egg, but I would definitely check ahead. I do love their fish and chips, they are divine! :thumbsup2
 
I was researching GF during our current vacation in CT and came across an article on Celiac.com 6/3/21012 on GF dining in Disney. It provided a phone number to call to speak with a Disney rep on GF dining and getting info on places that provide GF dining etc. Made me feel better about the trip we're planning later this year.
