Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Juat wanted to write a quick note to anyone planning a trip to Disneyland, California. We just got back and my family (Mike and I - was pretty unenthusiastic, but that is a seperate issue) had a great time. We were able to have a great trip with little stress about food issues. We stayed at the Residence Inn Suites (on Clementine) and had our own full equiped kitchen (fridge, freezer, stove, micro, etc..) We had brought our own breakfasts foods to save time and from eating out, but the hotel also has a full breakfast that is included. I was able to have the eggs, potatoes and bacon (with no noted ill effects). I asked the kitchen about the 'dairy, and soy' in the items and they were somewhat able to answer my questions. I didn't ask about the 'gluten' since I had feeling that they would not get it. If staying here you may want to call ahead and ask the front desk to do some research for you. They were very helpful. It was a nice, clean place and they had a ($6 a day/unlimited) shuttle to the park). I would reccomend the Residence Inn as a place to stay. I was also pleased that all the places we ate at the Disney Park were accomdating to our dietary needs and allergies. They took my questions and requests well and no one that we delt with was flustered, anoid or made you feel like a freak. It did take a little more time to get a meal, cause it had to be made special in the kitchen, but they were very helpful. We had talked to Chef Toby of Carnation Cafe and had gotten a few Disney dinning tips. We had heard of the kinnikinnick pizza's and buns offered at the park, but did not feel like having pizza. My biggest reccomendation is for Tortilla Jo's, that is located in the new Downtown Disney district. We ate there last night before our all night trip back home. They have all the GF items marked on the menu, and they were very accomodating to our dairy and soy requests too. The food was very good! It looks like this is owned by a restaurant group called Patina Restaurant Group. They have only one local restaurant - 's Kitchen in Napa. Maybe at some point they may open others more local. You can check out Tortilla Jo's at http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/en_US/moreMagic/downtownDis ney/dining/detail?name=TortillaJosDiningPage or the Patina group at http://www.patinagroup.com/. We had great meal! Let me know if anyone has any other questions on our Disney experience. Eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Go to " Guest Relations at the entrance of the park. tell them your child has special needs " autism' and cannot wait in long lines. They will issue you a special pass which you show to attendant at each attraction. You will be escorted in a different entrance which brings you to a higher area of the line.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I would highly recommend eating at Taste Pilots in the California park. We had hamburgers w/ gf buns, the fries are great, and the salads were good too. From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Pam Newbury Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2009 12:36 AM Subject: [ ] Replying to Messages p.s., we’re heading off to Disney/Lego lands tomorrow. In looking for GF eateries around Legoland, I spotted a letter from PF Changs to a celiac down there who had gotten glutened. The manager apologized profusely and said she had even been to the PF Changs in Palo Alto to observe their Gluten Free procedures…I just had to laugh and imagined (the Mythbusters guy) drawling, “Well, there’s your problem right there!” That aside, the description she gave of the procedures sounded quite elaborate; makes me wonder how so many accidents happen. Is it just the turnover in staff? Maybe we should contact PF Changs and let them know that so many celiacs are having problems. It does seem discouraging when a restaurant makes such an effort to accommodate us and there are still accidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
