Gluten free eating at Disneyland

My family and I recently took a trip to Disneyland, we had great experiences with 3 restaurants while there.

The first night there we went to the Rainforest Grill in Downtown Disneyland. We told our server about our needs and asked to speak with a chef. A few minutes later a chef came out and told us what we could have that was Gluten Free. There were several selections and the food was fantastic.

Next, we went to Ariel's Grotto in California Adventures. Again we asked to speak with a chef and one came out. Once again the selections were there and the food was again fantastic. Plus this is a highlight for little girls, as the Princesses come to every table for pictures. It was even a highlight for my grandaughters who are 17 and 22 who still love the Princesses!

The one downfall to both of these restaurants is that they are pretty expensive, but the food is really good.

Our last night there we ate at the little Carnation Restaurant on Main St. (the one that is between the shops on Main Street not the larger one down by the Castle). We followed the same procedure and the food was also really good.

We were certain that nothing had been contaminated because my daughter will get an immediate reaction if there is anything gluten there.

Overall our experience was good. When you go there you need to go into City Hall right at first and get a list of the places that offer Gluten free items.
