Disneyland food
I just spoke with the “Chief chef” there and I am still worried aboutwhat my choices are to feed my three gf/cf/soy free/egg free kids.Does anyone have some helpful suggestions?

We spent 7 days at DisneyWorld this past summer and were able to stay gf/cf.If you are interested, e-mail me off list and I’d be happy to talk with you.

This is one thing I’m aware of from various posts: Disney WORLD is much moregfcf (and Feingold if I remember right)-friendly than Disney LAND. Part is dueto the age of the facilities, but I think there’s also a different mindset,probably partly because so many of the “Make a Wish” type organizations sendkids to Disneyworld that they’re used to having to deal with special diets morethan the other place. You can probably still do it, but it will take moreplanning and caution than if you were going to the other park. I’d love to beable to take our family to either, but we’re in the midwest, so travel isprohibitive (besides the cost of the tickets).

Assuming you are talking about Disneyland in California, not DisneyWorld, here is a link as to what is safe:www.tacanow.com/restaurants.htm (you’ll need to scroll down to thebottom).
My company took our staff and families there last Christmas. We wereto meet for lunch at Red Rocket Pizza Port so that is where I got foodfor my 2 sons - 1 celiac & 1 autistic & celiac. When I got there Iwas concerned because it was cafeteria-style. I couldn’t imagine howI could get anything specially made and not contaminated. I went tothe person greeting people at the door and asked him where I would goto get a meal made for someone on a special diet. He told me to lookfor the lady in a red hat who is the head chef. I saw her rightaway. I told her I understand they can make a gluten-free meal. Shesaid she can make spaghetti with rice noodles and the marinara sauceis gluten-free. She said she would prepare it herself to make surethere are no contamination issues and asked me if parmesan is OK ordoes it need to be dairy-free also. I told her I need it for twoyoung kids. She told me to have the rest of the family get our foodand she will find me. By the time we went through the line, she cameup to me with a tray. It had two kids meals in souvenier lunchboxswith rice spaghetti, a bag of baby carrots and cups for drinks fromthe fountain. My boys were thrilled. They charged the same as aregular kid’s meal. I tasted their spaghetti and it was the best GFspaghetti I ever had.
Later in the day, my husband and older kids wanted a snack. Theydecided to get churros which made me feel bad for my GF boys. Rightthen I looked up and saw a McDonald’s fry cart. That is all theymake - just fries. My boys loved them.
That was a year ago. I recently asked my 4 year old what he likedabout Disneyland when he went (he was 3 at the time). He said heliked the special spaghetti and the boat with the music (It’s a SmallWorld). Forget Mickey Mouse - the GF food was the highlight for him!
My 4 year old is my one with celiac only. He is very sensitive so ifthere were any contamination issues, I would have known. When I wasnursing him, I ate Fritos which only has contamination issues and hewas vomiting from it. He didn’t even have the slightest tummy ache atDisneyland.
