The Gluten Free Princess Prepares for Disney!

[hallienicole]

This is my very first PTR so please bear with me as I try to figure this out. I figured that this was the best place to put down all my plans and excitement as I get ready for my next trip to WDW!

So lets get started with 5 things about me:

1) My name is Hallie. I am 20 years old and I currently live in the Mile High City.
2) I'm a Hospitality, Tourism, and Events major concentrating in Hotel management.
3) Last year I had to get two hip surgeries to fix hip dysplasia that left me with a broken hip and three six inch screws in my hip. That was fun....not!
4) I love dance. I'm trained in classical Vaganova ballet but had to quit to due to my hip. Now, I'm training in ballroom dancing. I absolutely love it and can't wait for my first competition!
5) I have Celiac Disease. I cannot eat anything with grains including wheat, barley, oats, rye, etc. No cookies, cakes, pasta, basically anything with wheat. Basically I can't have anything yummy otherwise I'll get really ill.

Our trip is January 12th - January 17th 2014. We will be there for my 21st Birthday!

We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge. I was rooting for either Beach Club or Contemporary but in the end my dad got to choose where we are staying....more on that later.

I hope you can join me as I prepare for our trip in January. On here to then I'll post schedules, dinner reservations, packing stuff, I might ask for some advice here and there, and maybe some of my favorite tips and tricks for doing Disney gluten free.

See Ya Real Soon! ​

I should probably start off with some introductions.

Like I said I'm Hallie, or as my Dad calls my The Gluten Free (GF) Princess. Whenever we go to Disney the chefs always come out and cater to my dietary needs. The princess always gets the food she wants!

Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom
Favorite Ride: Big Thunder Mountain
Favorite Restaurant: The Plaza Restaurant
Favorite Movie: Finding Nemo
Favorite Character: ALL the princesses! I can't pick one, I'm a princess girl



This is my Dad. He owns a used car lot, so he's a typical guy, but he secretly loves going to Disney. Don't tell his friends that or he'll deny it so fast!

Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom
Favorite Ride: Soarin’
Favorite Restaurant: Anything in the France pavilion
Favorite Movie: Monsters Inc.
Favorite Character: Snow White...he's the only guy I know who will wait in line to meet a princess!





This trip is a “daddy/daughter” Disney trip! It's kind of been our special thing since my mom can't fly on airplanes due to vertigo. However, she's expressed that she wants to go to the flower and garden festival sometime....another ticket to Disney?

Up next….hmm I think we should talk about food!
