I've received the list of gluten-free foods & dining options in WDW, but I noticed the water parks weren't listed. I've sent an email to Disney, but was wondering if anyone had any experience eating gluten-free at the water parks? We love Typhoon Lagoon & hope we won't have to skip it this time around. Thanks for the input. :)

I have eaten gluten free at both Disney Water Parks. Any of the people you emailed about the main parks should be able to get you a list for the water parks. (I emailed someone at Magic Kingdom today and they are calling Typhoon Lagoon to get me a list for that park). At each water park there is one counter service restaurant which will have gluten free pizza/burgers and hot dogs with buns. They also have a chef who will prepare it himself. They will probably have gluten-free mac and cheese and brownies and ice cream too. On my last trip, I phoned the water park one day in advance just to make sure they had gluten-free mac and cheese and pizza in stock for my family. You won't go hungry! Have a great trip and please fill us in when you get back!

Hi everyone,

Here's the reply I got back from Disney:

"you should be able to get a hamburger, hotdog, or chicken sandwich on a tapioca roll for those allergic to wheat. Be sure to ask when you are there. Of course, you are allowed to bring in your own

food and use the picnic benches."

Sounds like your typical counter service fare. My only concern is actually finding a manager at one of these places. I've been to the water parks before & there are not a lot of people around to ask for help.

I'll post all our experiences when we get back.

Thanks everyone! :D

Brenda Bennett is the best contact person for Disney World food allergy dining. If you go the the disboards website and post in the disABILITIES section, you will be able to get all her contact information. My husband and I went in September and we found it an extremely accomadating place.

Hello!

Where did you get the list of gluten free foods and dining options fop Walt Disney? I called and the woman I spoke to had not heard of it.

Now that I am reading all this good stuff about the food, I am even more excited to go!

Thanks!!

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
