Disneyland Paris

[MAF]

I just want to share our experience at Disneyland Paris (DLP) with you.

We visited DLP for a week in april. As a normal procedure I contacted DLP to find out if we had to bring our own food or if they had some gluten free alternative for our 7 year old daughter.

A pdf file was sent to me that claimed that they had it covered. I browsed the net for gluten free diet and DLP, and realized that several families had bad experiences with DLP. So to make sure we brought some food, just in case.

After a 12 hour drive we checked in at New York hotel, and they also ensured that it was no problem. Our first task that night was to get some food before going to bed. Our daughter was offered 3 different meals, by a very helpful waiter, promising! But the menu was a prepared flight like meal, that tasted awful! Well bad luck we thought.

At the breakfast we asked for the gluten free alternative, and again a very helpful waiter, came with cakes and bread that felt like it was several years old. No Corn Flakes or other "real" alternatives. Luckily we had brought our own Corn Flakes and some bread!

This was pretty much the case the whole week. The restaurants only had this flight meals, and after a couple of tries we stopped because it was uneatable. And when we asked if our daughter could eat some of the "normal" food, they didn't seam to have the knowledge about what was actually in the food (even though we had a note in French explaining what she had to avoid).

So my advice is that are you going to DLP, bring your own food. Don't expect them to know anything!

They do such a wonderful job here in the States. What a shame that they do not have it together in Paris!
