Re: Disneyland in Anaheim

[Guest guest]

Hi eileen,

You are in luck...Disneyland is a GREAT place with kids with

celiac...we go 2-3 times a year (in laws live nearby) and we have

never had a problem..this is what I do:

1. Call Chef (Justesen)...he is one of the head chefs for

the park (calling is better...he does not respond to email quickly and

he prefers to talk with you) and he will go over what is available by

land, etc.....his number is 714-781-3569 and his email is

chris.justesen@... say he is helpful is an understatement

and he had pushed for more GF food to be available in the park...he

will give the details but here are some of our favorites:

2. SOme of our favorite places to eat in the partk are as follows:

a. Pizza place in tomorrow land - near Space Mountain - makes GF

pizza for you using Kinnikincik GF pizza crust...Thye are very

careful...have a sperate oven for jus tthis purpose...it was so good

that we went there 3 times in 3 days

b. Hamburger Buns and Hot Dog buns available in a few areas in the

partk...so take advantage of it..they are great (kinnikinnick again I

think)..

c. I have small children so we always eat at Ariel's grotto in

California Adventure - they make a GF pasta there that is yummy.

d. All the restaurants are VERY accommodating...Chef will tell

you want to do (basically, for a casual/fast food type restaurant, as

a busboy to get a manager so your order is taken care of

correctly...and for the nice restaurants, make a reservation at the

disney dining number - don't have it but Chef will - and not on

the reservation that you have need to have GF food...the chef will

come out and make ANYTHING you want...I kid you not...)

We always have a great time and I think it is the most GF friendly

place we have come across so far...please email directly if you have

any more questions!

Cheers!
