Is Disney Still a Good Gluten Friendly Destination?

We go to both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. We just got back from Disneyland. What they offer gluten free changes periodically, but Disney is still the only vacation place we go to that consistently has good gluten free options. They have a flipover gluten free pizza that is so good. There have always been some carts and restaurants that did not have options. Their popcorn is gluten free, dole whip is gluten free. You can get burgers and fries gluten free, but that is not your only option. There are salads, soup, steaks, lobster nachos, potato skins, corn on the cob, turkey leg. At the buffets, they will bring you food from the back or walk you through the many gluten free options on the buffet which do of course have cross contamination issues. Some restaurants may not be quite as good as they used to be, but there is still gluten free food.
 

Disney World has many options. You can even get gluten free churros, beignets, calamari. Most restaurants with a chef have delicious gluten free options. You can get fried fish, chicken, fries, onion rings and more at Cookes of Dublin or Raglan Road at Downtown Disney. The character meals both breakfast and other meals all have gluten free options. 
 

I always want them to offer more gluten free options, but I always have felt that I could find safe and good gluten free food at Disney unlike other places that I go. I have not been out of the United States though. I hear Italy is a wonderful place for gluten free.

I visited Disney World in Florida for 10 days in January 2023. Out of the 10 days, 5 days where spent at Disney’s parks. I ate gluten free at the parks with no problems. There are plenty of options to choose from and the chefs are very accommodating. The Disney app and their website lists places to get food along with allergy friendly menus, which makes it easier to pin point where to safely eat. 

We spent 2 week at Disneyworld Resort and Parks in July 2022 (yeah, I know, but we attended a diabetes conference) and our kid who has type 1 diabetes has also celiac disease, and we are all vegan:  we had no problem eating like kings, and safely, throughout the parks and the resort: because of our particular dietary needs, we did a lot of research beforehand (this restaurant has vegan options but not gluten-free, this other place has gluten-free but not vegan), and we never had to worry about food. I would recommend to anyone looking for gluten-free food not to just "wing it", but have a pretty good idea where they can find it, always double checking, because menus change and often at Disney.
