Disney Rocks!

[johnsoniu]

Just got back from vacation at DisneyWorld and man, did they ever live up to everyone's praises on this board!!!

Liberty Tree tavern at the Magic Kingdom is an absolute must. Chef Al came out and talked to me and brought my meal out himself. I could't have any of the deserts on the menu, but he made a chocolate brownie-cake special with raspberry icing and ice cream. It was fresh out of the oven when he brought it out and smelled so good, my non-celiac dinner mates were drooling over it! It took a little extra time to cook my turkey dinner, as he made the gravy with corn starch special from scratch, so the manager gave us free fast passes for the rides the rest of the day!

The Brown Derby @ MGM had quite a bit to offer also, and the chef came out and talked to me there as well. They're a bit pricey, but like my wife said, better to spend a few dollars extra and be safe with something you can enjoy.

Counter service was not a problem as all the cashiers have ingredient books with them, and will call the manager or chef if their is any questions.

All in all an awesome time, I even gained a couple pounds( I'm an extremely hard gainer) despite walking what seemed like 8 miles everyday

Chef Al is emailing me the chocolate brownie recipe, will post when I get it.

And last but not least, Guhlia, I promised to give Mickey a hug for you, mission accomplished . My daughter's high school was marching in the parade and he came around and greeted all of us before the parade started.

Uh! You got to see Mickey?!?!?!?! Why is it that I NEVER get to see Mickey?!?!?! Thanks... Maybe next year I'll get to give him one of my own.

That is great you had a good vacation. I want to go to disney, sounds like we are very welcome there. I am thinking about maybe going there for my honeymoon.

We LOVE Disney. I asked the one chef if I could move into the actual park and have them cook for me everyday!! We are going again in October. The 6th thru the 13th. We own a house down there, so we are free to go whenever we want.. its wonderful! The house is rented out the rest of the year, but we usually get our pick of weeks, so I cook breakfast and such gluten free at home and in any of the parks I eat safely lunch, never ever even a rumbly tumbly.. and dinner, I either cook at home, or we stay in the parks.. and of couse, safe safe safe.. its great!

I am so glad to hear all the postivie things about eating at Disney. We just found out my 6 year old daughter has celiac and we are planning on going to Disney for the first time in Oct. I was a little worried about the food.. we did not get the meal passes but now I know I don't have to worry about eating there. Thanks

I just got back from a Disney trip with my high school band. I was a little nervous about the trip, having gone gluten free just a month ago. However, it was easier to eat gluten free there than at home. We had a nice meal at the Brown Derby at MGM, and not only did they make me a tapioca dinner roll (first bread product in a month-it was delicious), but they gave me the phone number of where to order the rolls. It was great.
