We are finally taking our first vacation since my dx. We are taking the kids to Disneyland! I have read alot about Disney being celiac friendly and our friends will be there at the same time. I am looking for any and all advice about eating gluten-free at Disney. I am the only one in the family that has it. However, I would really like to avoid being sick on our first vaction in 5 years! Please let me know any helpful hints you may have for staying gluten-free in the park. We will be staying in the Disneyland hotel in hopes that it will be easier for me to eat.

Thank You!

The Storybrook Cafe serves gluten free food in California Adventure and there are 2 gluten-free restaurants in the Disneyland Hotel. They are VERY Celiac friendly...don't worry!

I was recently at a conference in Anaheim, right down the street from Disney. I had very good luck in downtown Disney, and there is an Outback and a place called Mimi's Cafe a short distance away.

Hez, I've heard good things about Disney. Do a search on the forum here too, there have been past threads on Disney. Also, whenever I travel, I always take gluten-free dining cards with me. Makes it much easier to communicate. Have fun!

Storytellers Cafe (located in the California Adventure Hotel) is extremely gluten-free friendly. They serve hamburgers with buns, pizza, and spaghetti for us. Also, they have gluten-free fries and cornbread. Also, they have a flourless strawberry ice cream cake that is extremely good.

I have also heard, but not tried, Goofy's Kitchen or something like that is gluten-free friendly and is located in the Disneyland Hotel.

There is also a Whole Foods about 10 minutes away.

Have fun!

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Ceekay · Posted

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
