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!

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
