Jules – I can affirm that Mythos (Islands of Adventure at Universal) is VERY good with GF. I love their menu… it’s actually marked with GF (and vegetarian) choices – and there are a lot of them. If you see something on their menu that’s not marked as being available GF, Mythos will try to work with you to make it GF. (They have done that on more than one occasion with my son.) Definitely check it out next time you go to Universal!

Interesting. I’ve been to Disney a few times when I was a kid but that was pre-celiac days so it’s nice to hear you found a bunch of places which cater for the gluten free of us!

They told us Butterbeer ingredients are gluten free, it’s that it is prepared in an area that is a high risk for cross contamination. I asked if there was a chance I could see the area and was told no (hey, asking is free, right? but that he (the manager I was speaking with) has seen where it is prepared and that it is very high risk and very likely to be CC with wheat flour products being made from scratch.
If you any anyone else interested can write a letter–he said the more requests they get, the better the odds they can change their practices in the future.

I wish I had know read this a few hours ago, as I just returned from Universal Studios. I would have never guessed Butterbeer was not gluten free. I had some! Didn’t really have a problem, thank goodness…

Thank you Jules, and everyone for all the fabulous info! Planning a trip to Disneyland this summer for my birthday and this helps alleviate my fear about eating in the park!

I’m on the west coast and frequent Disneyland regularly as a year-round passholder. I was diagnosed with celiac about 6 months ago and was pleased to find out that Disney is very celiac friendly when researching it on the internet. Guest services has a several page printout labeled ‘celiac offerings’ that you can get for Disneyland and California Adventure. I’ve not gone hungry. They have dedicated fryers for french fries, gf hot dog and hamburger buns, etc, gf shells for pizza, rice pasta, etc. Even baked potatoes. The restaurants at Downtown Disney are very accomodating as well. I’ve heard great things about the hotel restaurants as well. Just thought I’d share about the original Disney:)
