Disney World is the most magical place on earth for many reasons. One of those reasons is food.

Unfortunately, I have a gluten intolerance. The first time I went to Disney World with a gluten allergy, I thought that it was going to be near impossible to find food and that once I did scrounge something up, it was going to taste like cardboard.
Fortunately, however, that was not the case.
Not only was there an overwhelming variety of things I could choose from, the food was some of the best I’ve ever eaten.
Every meal was more delicious than the last, and I found myself looking forward to the next. The executive chef came out to my family’s table to talk to me about my gluten allergy and different foods that I liked, so that he could prepare me a gluten free meal that I would love. The employees take allergies seriously and accommodate them well.
Here are my top 10 gluten free favs for all of you out there who are visiting Disney World with a gluten allergy.
