Eating Out Gf In Orlando

[Karen(England)]

Hi,

I live in England. We are going to Orlando in October with 2 children (age 7 and 9).

Can anyone recommend restuarants and restaurant chains that are good for

gluten-free food in and around Disney World and Universal in Orlando, Florida?

Many thanks,

Hi Karen,

if you're in the MGM studios, you can buy plain turkey legs there. We just came back from the MGM studios this monday (4th of July) and Kathy and I (we're both celiacs) ate those turkey legs and didn't have any problems. It says turkey legs on the food vendor booth and it's near the "Tower of Terror" and the "Aerosmith Rollercoaster". But for your children I would only buy one turkey leg, cause these were "monster turkeys". I'm used to eating a lot and I had to throw half of it away unfortunately.

Fortunately, Disney is one place that takes allergies seriously. Are you staying/eating on Disney property? There is a # to call and also an email address that I will look up for you. They were very accomodating and at one restaurant they even made me a loaf of fresh,hot bread at the Italian restaurant right in the Magic kingdom. Most of the Disney character breakfast can do gluten-free pancakes or waffles...

Hi!

We are renting a house in Davenport, about 30 minutes drive from Disney.

I think it's near where the 27 crosses I4.

I know that there is an Outback Steakhouse in Orlando - they have a gluten free menu. The website allearsnet.com has a lot of information on dietary issues inside Disney World. They have every menu for every restaurant in all parks and hotels. They have a section for Celiacs with a lot of tips and restaurant specific information.

Hi!

I went to Orlando last year and the experience at Disney itself was great. When we got there, I called a number and set up reservations in both the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. At both of those locations, they were ready to serve me and all times the chef came out to talk to me before ordering and even brought my food to the table. The experience was wonderful. The Liberty Inn (not sure of name) in Magic Kingdom even had a gluten free brownie for me when my husband was eating regular apple pie...which was great. Here is a link to the part of the website relating to the dining Open Original Shared Link . This page gives the phone number you can call when you get to Florida to discuss food allergies with someone at Disney.

Outside of Disney we made sure to eat at Outback Steakhouse Open Original Shared Link and there is an Italian place called Carrabas that has a location in Orlando and a gluten free menu on their website. Open Original Shared Link .

Hope this helps and have fun!
