So, off to WDW in February. I have read all the posts on here about everyone's experiences dining, and it sounds promising. I'm just worried about what my options are with the gluten-free plus DF combo. Not really interested in eating salads the whole time.

I sent an email to the address listed on the WDW site, and am awaiting a response. Just thought I'd get another opinion or two.

Anyway, if anyone has any experience w/ dining at WDW w/ both of these restrictions, I would be interesed in hearing where you ate, what you ate, what your choices were, and how the experience was.

Also, does anyone have any experience eating at SeaWorld? Last time I was there (like 10 years ago), all I remember eating was chicken nuggets and fries...

Thanks in advance ;)

While I haven't eaten gluten and dairy free at WDW, I have eaten plenty of gluten-free/vegetarian meals and they have been wonderful. We have been to WDW 4 times since I have been gluten-free and we are heading back in February too. Many of the gluten-free breads/pancakes/waffles at WDW are dairy free as well. Someone at WDW will let you know when you hear back from them. I would make a reservation for all of your sit down meals and when you make the reservation, let them know your dietary restrictions. Almost every chef has gone out of his/her way for me to create a custom meal. If you are not eating at a lot of table service restaurants, you may be eating quite a lot of salads, burgers etc. The dining plan is pretty great at WDW. Have a great trip.

I also haven't done DF, but had an excellent gluten-free experience. If you have kids, I recommend the Crystal Palace for breakfast/bruch buffet. the chef came out and took me on a tour of the buffet, pointing out safe and unsafe foots. made me a waffle--gluten-free. really knowledgable and helpful. (pooh characters make the rounds during the meals--great for young kids). I didn't have as great of an experience at the norwegian place for lunch (princess lunch)--at epcot. Most all were really good, and there are guides/blogs you can find by googleing disneyworld gluten free with great recommendations

It was fun for my daughter. the food was pretty mediocre in general, and the servers and staff were way less knowledgeable about gluten free. I felt very much more on my own there than anywhere else. I was glad that I was the only gluten free one. (My daugher was not diagnosed yet). Remember, though, that norwegian food in general is pretty blah. (I live in MN). there were some kids options, which emma liked--but not sure about kid gluten free options. I would just make sure you call ahead. Most places at disney were very responsive to that--we didn't call that one before personally, though the reservations stated I was gluten free.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
