Gluten Free aka Special Dining at Disney World

I have been an expert on “no sugar added” dining at Disney World for many years now. Check out my reviews at Our Laughing Place. I am ALL over that! But maintaining a gluten-free lifestyle is recent for me, and–frankly–I wasn’t sure I could stay on track while touring Disney World.
My first big piece of news: Disney World is MUCH more attentive to gluten-free diets in general. That’s right. The Disney company is going to make sure no one has an allergic reaction to gluten while on their property. No way. Now, a few people go might into diabetic comas…but that’s just because the “no sugar

added” movement doesn’t get the same press, I think. For example, every restaurant, from counter service to signature dining, has access to gluten free breads, pizza crusts, pastas, etc. Not all of them order it (foreshadowing here) but it is available. On the other hand, while every restaurant that is Disney owned is required carry a no sugar added dessert, only a few restaurants take care with the amount of sugar they put in the appetizers and entrees. Turf Club at Saratoga Springs literally soaks their meat in brown sugar brines. Continue reading Gluten Free aka Special Dining at Disney World

This is not a rumor! Disney is allowing guests to add Disney Dining Plans to room only reservations in Walt Disney World! This is certainly big news for Disney travelers. The newest package will be known as the Walt Disney World Ticketless Package. The details on the Disney Dining Plans will remain the same. You can choose the Quick Service Plan, which my family likes. It has counter service options and a snack each night. The regular dining plan has a counter service option and a sit down option for each night. You also get a snack. The deluxe dining plan comes with three meals per night and two snacks. Every dining plan provides you with a resort refillable mug for your Disney vacation stay. Pretty cool that we can add these to room only stays now! Of course, there are some rules.
