Disneyland, California

[elissaley]

I discovered this restaurant about a year and a half ago and since I found this forum, I thought I should share this with the group.

If you live around the area or if you are traveling to Disneyland, I strongly suggest eating at Storyteller's Cafe. My husband and I have passes to the parks, and we ate at Ariel's Grotto once and the food was horrible. They had only one item - Pasta that tasted like paper, which I wouldn't even eat after the first bite. Then, we found this place.

It is outside of the park inside of the Grand Californian Hotel, right never the pool for the hotel and the food is excellent! Hamburgers - with gluten-free buns, Pizza, desserts and they have a breakfast menu as well - I have only eaten lunch and dinner there though. It is a decently nice restaurant, which has rolls on the table, which aren't gluten-free, but if you ask for them, they will bring you gluten-free rolls at no extra charge. The chef will come out and let you know what is gluten-free and they are extremely helpful. The other great thing about this place is that the prices are comparable to Red Robin, which is nice if you are on a budget.

Once, I came to eat here though, during the week and they were closed between lunch and dinner for a short period, so we went next door, which is called something like the Rapid's Cafe, Canoe Something or Explores Snacks - something like that - this is also outside of the park. They went next door to prepare my gluten-free hamburger, with a bun and made my special french fries as well, which I was extremely impressed with since it is a cafeteria style place.

In addition to Storyteller's and the substitute, if they are closed, check out the Rainforest Cafe at Downtown Disney, they are also fairly accomodating.

The reservation number for Disneyland Dining, which includes Storyteller's Cafe is 714-781-3463.

Enjoy!
