Disneyland

I live about 20 minutes away, and I thought I would share some of the good places to eat. The best gluten-free restaurant is called The Storytellers Cafe. The chef comes out and gives you the option of mainly gluten-free pasta or pizza. I think there are a few other options also. It is located in the California Adventure Hotel. Although it is expensive to stay there, I would recommend it. I haven't tried their restaurants in Downtown Disney, but if you call ahead, most of those restaurants can make you something. I get cravings for candy sometimes and they have a really good candy store in Disneyland. I forget what it is called, but their ingredients are pretty clear. If anyone else knows of good restaurants/food, please write!!!

I have GREAT news!!! If you are thinking of traveling to Disneyland, or have a trip planned...let me share my findings!

We got back last night, and had a great gluten free trip!

We called ahead and recieved NO help. I was rather disappointed, until we arrived at the character breakfast at Goofy's kitchen and I asked to speak to the chef about my daughter's "special diet." The chef came out and offered my daughter gluten-free pancakes, waffles, fresh fruit, ham, blueberry or carrot muffins, and chocolate chip cookies. After telling him what she wants, he brought it out a few minutes later. He assured us the syrup was gluten-free, and he would be checking back with us again. His name was Chris and he said he is head chef for the restaurants in the Disneyland hotel. He also told us that the

Pizza Port in Tomorrowland will make a gluten free pizza (which she tried and devoured!), Buzz Lightyears restaurant in Tomorrowland has been instructed to carefully make a gluten-free burger with no bun. The Plaza Inn will make a gluten-free pasta dish with brown rice pasta, and he also told us about the storytellers Cafe in the Grand Californian hotel. My parents went to an Italian restaurant for lunch one day and asked for any gluten-free options, and she brought out a menu of gluten-free dishes. This restaurant is in California Adventure park, but I am not sure of the name.

Also, they will let you take food into the park, as long as it is already prepared (like sandwiches). Their reason is because they don't want people taking up picnic tables to make their own sandwiches.

So, after my daughter met her idol Mary Poppins, and ate her 1st gluten-free pizza, it was by far the happiest place on earth for her (and me, because I watched her smile light up!)

That's wonderful!!! Glad to see you and your daughter had a successful experience!

I went to the Storytellers Cafe the other day, and I had gluten-free pizza. I almost thought it was regular pizza, it was so good! Also, when they brought out bread for my friends, they brought me gluten-free bread and a chocolate muffin!!! I was ecstatic!! Actually, I am going again today for my mom's birthday.. can't wait!!

Just sort of reviving this thread because I wanted to say "thank you!", lol. I'll be going in a few weeks so needed some places and suggestions. I thought I'd done a search of the threads, but for some reason didn't see this one, so I posted a new topic. Thanks again!

Just so you know.. pretty much all of the restaurants in both Disneyland and California Adventure have something they can do for gluten-free.

Have fun!!!!
