2017 Gluten Free & Dairy Free Guide to Walt Disney World by Sarah Norris

2017 GLUTEN FREE & DAIRY FREE

GUIDE TO WALT DISNEY WORLD CREATED BY SARAH NORRIS FROM GLUTEN FREE & DAIRY FREE AT WDW

"To all who come to this happy place... welcome!" This is what Walt Disney said on the grand opening of Disneyland in 1955. His vision? A place where children, families, and friends could come together to enjoy together rides and park activities. And this vision still holds true today. As guests with special dietary needs, Walt Disney World is one of the most amazing places to visit and dine safely. I know this myself firsthand. In 2009, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and later, Celiac Disease. As a result, I had several special dietary needs to consider, including a strictly gluten free diet and a dairy free diet, too. With a Disney trip already planned for that year, I was unsure how I would be able to eat safely while on vacation. As I quickly discovered, Disney is the happiest place on Earth for special dietary needs. In Fall 2009, I created Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW, a website dedicated to sharing information about visiting Disney World with a special diet. Now, I'm sharing with you in this guide, what you can expect when you visit Disney World with a special diet in 2017. We'll highlight the basics of visiting Disney World for the first time with a special dietary need. We'll also look at the dining must-do's for the year, along with my best bets for gluten free and dairy free dining experiences. So let's dig in! And a word of warning. You WILL be hungry by the time you finish this guide.

THE BASICS The Walt Disney World Resort offers a variety of options for guests with special dietary needs, but there can be a lot to remember before and during your trip. This section provides information and handy tools you can use to help navigate and plan your trip with a special dietary need.

Disney's Special Diets Department Did you know that The Walt Disney World Resort has an entire department dedicated to special dietary needs? This department is your go-to for pre-trip questions, information, and even special requests.* Disney's Special Diets Department recommends that guests contact them after they have booked their dining arrangements for table service locations and special event experiences and at least 14 days prior to their Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Links and information for Disney's Special Diets Department can be found in the Resources & Links chapter. *Special requests are subject to availability and are not guaranteed. Â

What Does Disney Offer for Special Dietary Needs? If you have a special dietary need and are visiting The Walt Disney World Resort, what can you expect when dining? Disney offers a variety of options for guests with various special dietary needs. The Walt Disney World Resort even carries various special dietary needs products to serve guests with specific needs, including gluten free, vegan, and allergy friendly breads, snacks, and more.* The Walt Disney World Resort also carries allergy-friendly, vegan, and vegetarian menus at select Disney dining locations. These menus are not currently listed on the Walt Disney World Resort website at the time of this publication, but you can find many of them on Gluten Free & Dairy Free at WDW: http://www.glutenfreedairyfreewdw.com/dining-resources/menus/ For other special dietary needs, such as low-fat, low-sodium, and no-sugar added, no special dietary needs menu is available; however, Disney's culinary team can easily assist you with any dining requests. Guests can request to speak directly with a member of the Disney culinary team, at any time during their meal experience. Guests may ask their server or another Disney cast member at a Disney dining location about this. At certain locations, like most quick service restaurants, a Disney culinary team manager will assist guests with special dietary needs requests instead of a Disney chef. For all guests with special dietary needs, it is recommended that you notify a Disney cast member upon arriving at any dining location to discuss special dietary needs options. *For a current list of special dietary needs product offerings for your dietary need, it is recommended that you contact the Disney Special Diets Department.

Important Note About Allergy Safety & Cross-Contamination If you are a guest with allergies or have concerns about crosscontamination, please note that The Walt Disney World Resort does not have separate kitchens to prepare gluten free or allergy friendly food. They also do not have a separate dining area for guests with these special dietary needs. Often a particular restaurant will have a dedicated allergy friendly or gluten free fryer or prepare food in a specific section of a restaurant kitchen, but it is best to confirm any food preparation concerns or needs prior to consuming any food. Disney's Special Diets Department indicates that The Walt Disney World Resort cannot guarantee that cross-contamination during the preparation or handling of special dietary needs meals. This may not sound very encouraging if you're a first-time visitor to the Disney Parks & Resorts with a special dietary need. But, Disney takes special diets very seriously and leads the culinary industry in food allergy and special diets safety, preparation, and handling. If at any time, you have questions or concerns, a Disney manager or chef is on hand to discuss them with you. Let's take a look at how Disney actually handles guests dining with a special diet.

Disney Dining Protocols The Walt Disney World Parks & Resorts offers a variety of dining experiences including snack kiosks with grab and go options, quick service restaurants offering casual and "fast food" style meals, and table service dining locations with standard sit-down fare. With so many options, it can be tough to know what protocols are in place at each of these dining locations for special dietary needs. Here is a brief overview of each of these type of locations with a general protocol and/or resources for special dietary needs guests.* *Please Note: Disney Dining practices, procedures, and protocols are subject to change. This section is a guideline for standard protocols at the time of publication, but does not guarantee that each dining location visited will follow these protocols exactly as noted in this book. For the most current information, contact the Disney Special Diets Department.

Snack Carts / Kiosks Found throughout the Walt Disney World Parks & Resorts, snack carts and food kiosks often serve snack type foods that include classic Disney favorites like popcorn, chips, turkey legs, and Mickey Bars. Because these are small carts and kiosks, no Disney manager or chef are on hand to discuss special dietary needs options. Most cast members staffing these carts and kiosks are not trained in handling special dietary needs as in-depth as managers and chefs are. If you are interested in a snack or food item at a Disney snack cart or kiosk, ask a cast member for the Allergy Ingredients Binder. This binder will list the ingredients and allergens (if applicable), for all items served at that cart or kiosk.

Quick Service Dining Locations If you're looking for a quick fast-food style meal while at the Walt Disney World Parks & Resorts, quick service dining locations are the perfect way to satisfy your taste buds. Quick service dining locations can be found throughout the Walt Disney World Parks & Resorts and offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner options (locations and offerings are subject to change). Unlike Disney snack carts and kiosks, special dietary needs trained managers, and in some locations chefs, are on-hand to assist you with your special dietary needs meal options. When you arrive at a quick service dining location, it is recommended that you alert the cast member at the cash register of your special dietary needs. In some cases, the cast member will hand you an allergy friendly menu, which covers the top 8 common allergens (gluten/wheat, egg, milk, fish/shellfish, peanut/tree nut, and soy). At this time, you may also ask to speak with a manager or chef, who will speak with you about your options. If your special dietary needs are not covered on the special dietary needs menu or you wish to discuss safety, including cross-contamination procedures, it is recommended that you always speak with a manager or chef.

Quick Service Dining Locations For those guests who choose to order special dietary needs options without consulting with a manager or chef, their order will still be flagged as special dietary need and also be prepared by a manager or chef in a designated area of the kitchen. All special dietary needs options, regardless of manager or chef consultations, will be prepared in the same way; however, speaking with a manager or chef allows for meal customization* (if applicable), as well as an opportunity to discuss special dietary needs with a trained cast member. Most special dietary needs quick service meals, especially those which are allergens, are typically served on a tray with a different color than the non-special dietary needs meals. *Please Note: Walt Disney World Resort Quick Service Dining Locations have limited offerings and cannot create extensive customized options or make dishes for which the kitchen does not currently carry ingredients for. Some locations may not be able to provide special dietary needs guests with options due to limited availability.

Table Service Dining Locations If sitting down at a full-service dining location is more your speed, table service locations at the Walt Disney World Parks & Resorts offer the best variety and customization for guests with special dietary needs. Guests dining at table service dining locations can note their special dietary needs prior when making an Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs). In addition, guests can contact the Disney Special Diets Department at least 14 days in advance to notify them of their dining reservations and special dietary needs. Contacting the Disney Special Diets Department in advance helps ensure that the table service dining location is aware of guests' special dietary needs and, in some cases, may also assist the kitchen at stocking select special dietary needs products (such as gluten free buns, etc.). Upon arrival, guests dining at table service dining locations will be presented with an allergy-friendly dining menu (if applicable and available). Like quick service dining locations, guests have the option to order directly from the allergy-friendly menu or to consult with a chef prior to ordering. It is recommended that guests consult with a chef to discuss any special dietary needs and concerns with cross-contamination.

Non-Disney Owned Dining Locations Though the majority of the dining locations at the Walt Disney World Resort are owned and operated by the Disney Company, there are some locations that are not. Companies such as Landry's and the Patina Restaurant Group rent restaurant space from Disney in a variety of locations, like Epcot's World Showcase and Disney Springs. This means that these locations may or may not adhere to the same special dietary needs protocols as the Disney-owned locations. Most do not carry allergy-friendly dining menus. While many of these locations offer outstanding special dietary needs accommodations, it is important to know that these dining locations often do not operate the same way that Disney-owned restaurants do.

Making Dining Reservations Disney allows guests to make Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs) 180 days before their vacation. During the reservation process, you can indicate if you have a special dietary need. This is important because it gives the Disney dining location and chefs advance notice of your visit. It also allows the Disney host/hostess and server to best assist you during your dining experience.* *Please Note: Indicating your special dietary need on your ADR does not guarantee that a restaurant was properly notified or has special options available to you. Always ask to speak with a member of the Disney Culinary Team upon arriving at any Disney dining location. ADRs can be made online: http://www.disneyworld.com in-person, or by telephone at: (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463.

Online Advanced Dining Reservations Special Dietary Request When booking ADRs online, make sure to check your special dietary needs requests. See example below:

"Disney is the ONLY place where we can eat at a restaurant safely. We do not eat out at home anymore and haven't in over a year. I still get a bit nervous when we first eat out there that my daughter will get sick, but so far they have been able to keep her safe. Can't wait for our next trip and time off from cooking!” Denine R.

"The feeling of complete relief that this is one area of your trip home that you don't need to be concerned about. Any dietary restrictions are not looked at as an inconvenience but as the norm and accommodations are made without judgment or the feeling of being "different" or difficult. Also the substitutions are gourmet and delicious and not just leaving off the cheese or 'We will just bring it without a bun.' It is truly Magical!" - Tom D.

"The cast members actually care about providing us a full experience. It's never about removing items and making due. Eating at WDW means we are treated with respect even if it means extra work for them." - Kendra S. "I love that they don't look at me like I'm crazy, and they GET it! I have never been somewhere nor accommodating than disneyworld! That's one of the main reasons I keep going back!!!!" - Cindy B.

"As a person with food allergies, the thing I love about eating at Disney is that their selections are as unique and magical as the parks/resorts themselves. I could go to the store and grab a quick gluten free cookie or brownie but how many places offer allergy friendly beignets or zebra domes?" - Austin M.

"I don't like to be made a fuss over and hate bothering the chefs so I LOVE that a lot of the restaurants have menus that signify specific allergies even some of the buffets (Hollywood & Vine) have menus listed with what I can & cant have & chef only comes out to ask me if I want Mickey Waffles!" - Julie M.

"It's the place I always feel safe! And without the frequent compromises you get elsewhere... eg. mash contains butter so we'll serve with no potatoes, salad dressing contains milk so here's a dry salad, sauce was cooked with cream so have plain meat instead... The chefs at Disney will try their hardest to give you a complete and tasty meal, replacing rather than omitting." - Sarah C.

Allergy Mickey Waffles are made using one of several popular gluten free and allergy-friendly mixes and are typically made using rice milk and canola oil.

Top 10 GFDF Snacks

Sarah's top 10 gluten free & dairy free snacks at wdw

Top 10 Gluten Free and Dairy Free Snacks in the Disney Parks & Resorts Snacks can be a challenge when you're gluten free and dairy free. But, it doesn't have to be with some of these amazing options from my Top 10 List. These are some of my favorites and are snacks that I look forward to eating, again and again. These include items at Disney Resorts too, along with my favorite theme park snacks.

#1 - Dole Whip Location(s): Aloha Isle - Magic Kingdom Pineapple Lanai - Polynesian Village Resort Refreshment Port - Epcot Tamu Tamu - Animal Kingdom You can't get any more unique and Disney-inspired than a pineapple Dole Whip. This gluten free and dairy free pineapple soft serve can be found at several different locations throughout Disney World, but I recommend getting one at the Aloha Isle in Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom. It's the perfect spot to enjoy this refreshing snack.

Top 10 GFDF Snacks

#2 - Freshly Popped Popcorn Location(s): Various Popcorn Carts at all 4 Disney Theme Parks There's nothing better than watching a parade or fireworks, or strolling down Main Street U.S.A. with a bucket of freshly popped Disney popcorn. Believe it or not, this popcorn is both gluten free and dairy free -though you'd swear it was loaded with butter. It's a must do for any visit to Disney World.

#3 - Allergy-Friendly Beignets Location(s): Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory - Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter Resort You'll feel like you're in New Orleans when you enjoy the allergy-friendly beignets at Port Orleans French Quarter. Even if you're not staying at this resort, it's worth the visit to enjoy these deep-fried and covered in powdered sugar pieces of dough.

#4 - Maple Popcorn Location(s): Frontierland Popcorn Cart I love popcorn, and this is one of my favorite versions at Disney World. If you enjoy kettle corn or caramel corn, you'll love this salty and sweet treat. Pro Tip: Get this popcorn when it's freshly popped. It's hot and slightly sticky, and oh, so delicious.

#5 - The Bakery Sink Location(s): Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC Disney Springs Forget the Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream! It's all about the Bakery Sink at Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC, a 100% gluten free, dairy free, and vegan bakery at Disney Springs. This bakery favorite includes leftover cupcakes, donuts, and tons of frosting.

Top 10 GFDF Snacks

#6 - Snacks with Character Location(s): Various Shops and Snack Kiosks at all 4 Disney Theme Parks All snacks should have character, especially when they are allergyfriendly. Snacks with Character is a Disney branded snack line for special dietary needs. They have great options, like my favorite, the Chocolate Sunseed Bar. And, even better? They are from your favorite special diets brands, like Enjoy Life Foods.

#8 - Turkey Legs Location(s): Various Kiosks at the Magic Kingdom and Epcot It may be more like a meal than a snack, but Turkey Legs are a popular snack choice at Disney World. They're both gluten free and dairy free and a fun snack to try while you're at the Disney Parks.

#9 - Ice Cream Sundaes Location(s): Various Kiosks, Quick service, and Table Service Locations It can get downright hot at Disney World, especially in the summer. Sometimes, you just need to cool down with a sweet treat. Disney serves regular ice cream and non-dairy ice cream to guests with special dietary needs. My favorite? It has to be the No Way Jose Sundae at Beaches and Cream at the Beach Club. It can be made gluten free, dairy free, and is filled with rich peanut butter and chocolate goodness.

#10 - Fresh Fruit & Vegetables Location(s): Various Carts and Kiosks at all 4 Disney Theme Parks It may seem silly, but sometimes you just want some fresh fruits and vegetables. These are a great go-to snack when you need a break from indulging in beignets, sundaes, popcorn, and Dole Whips.
