Turkey Legs At Walt Disney World


jmengert

Recommended Posts

I'm leaving for Walt Disney World in a few days, and I'm excited that it seems to be a gluten-free paradise. However, I am one who chooses to not eat out, as I have multiple food issues, on top of celiac. The last time I ate out I also got violently ill, so I've decided it's not worth it (even though I'm tempted to at Disney.....)

I've emailed the allergies contact at Disney, and they said the turkey legs are gluten-free, soy free, and dairy free. My question, then, is if anyone here has eaten them without issue. I guess I'm mainly worried about cross-contamination here.

Thanks for any help anyone has!

I've eaten the turkey legs 3 or 4 times without issue. One other time I had a stomach ache, but on that day I also had the McDonalds fries and ate at a restaurant, so it's hard to say where the cross contamination came from (other than the fries which are at a stand that only serves fries).

I ate the turkey legs at Disneyland & they seemed to be fine. The only thing was that they were pretty greasy, so it gave me some problems, but nothing like a glutening.

(By the way, they actually taste more like ham instead of turkey..atleast the ones that I ate.) :D

The turkey legs are really greasy, but they should be gluten free.

Yes, I ate them, too. I never had a reaction to those turkey legs. And they aren't even small. After Kathy and I ordered one each, we wished, we would have ordered one for both of us. They are huge! :blink: I wish I'd have one right now, too :lol:

I have never had a problem at anyplace in Disney. Even during the Food and Wine Festival. The small tiny stands in each "land" at Epcot, the people working were knowledgable. I didnt get to eat as much as everyone else, but I had plenty! It was great. The one place that didnt know, I think it was Britian or Scotland, something like that, had an awesome grilled salmon in a maple sauce with a salad that was slightly warmed due to the fish.. they werent sure so they called up to the main kitchen and asked there... lucky me it was gluten free... it was the bestest! The one place I had a problem with, I went over to the customer service building and the manager took me back to the restaurant, gave me a gluten free meal, that they always had, just stupid cashier didnt know, and it was all free, they were willing to feed my whole family free, there were 8 of us.. but we didnt take it, only for my son, as we were heading to the food and wine festival and wanted to eat there!!! Disney is the happiest place on earth!!

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
