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!)
