Finding gluten-free food while traveling can be difficult, but Disneyland has a great variety of gluten-free options for guests to choose from during their time at the parks. Whenever possible, Disneyland will go above and beyond to address special dietary requests and help you explore your options for allergy-friendly foods.
At most table-service and quick-service locations, you can request to meet with a Cast Member who is special-diets trained to see what options are available to you. Disneyland can accommodate common allergy-friendly requests with little notice (for allergies like nuts, eggs, milk, etc.), and they claim that for less common allergy-friendly or intolerance requests, like gluten intolerance, “restaurants will do their best to accommodate you if you need meals made without a food or ingredient.”
In this article, we will break down how to navigate gluten-free dining at Disneyland for table-service and quick-service dining locations during your next trip.

Dining Gluten-Free at Disneyland Table Service Restaurants
While making a reservation at Disneyland table-service restaurants, be sure to notify Disneyland of gluten-free requests. If you're making your reservation on the Disneyland app, after you select your dining time, you'll see an option with a green triangle that says “Dietary Requests,” and you can select “Wheat/Gluten” to notify the restaurant ahead of time. Additionally, make sure to remind your server of your gluten-free requests when you arrive on the day of your reservation.
Disneyland also includes a disclaimer here that explains there is a chance of cross-contact and guests must proceed at their own risk (which we will discuss more below).
Once you arrive at the restaurant, notify your server again about creating your meal without gluten, and you can ask to see an allergy-free menu that will help you explore your options. If you have a question about the menu or preparation process, or you don't see anything that works for you, you can ask to talk to a chef or special-diets-trained Cast Member, and they will provide assistance.

Gluten-Free Carts, Kiosks, or Smaller Quick-Service Locations at Disneyland
Unfortunately, many smaller quick-service dining locations like carts and kiosks don't have allergy-friendly menus. You can always ask to see the product packaging to see if an item (like ice cream bars or frozen lemonade, for example) is safe for you to eat. Disneyland states that while smaller dining locations are more limited in their gluten-free options, larger dining locations will “offer more resources to help guide you toward an appropriate meal.”
Some quick-service locations will include an allergy-free portion in their online menu, so you can look at these ahead of time to see which options will work best for you. For example, below is Red Rose Taverne's gluten/wheat allergy-friendly portion of their online Lunch and Dinner menu:
When looking ahead to see which quick-service locations have gluten-free options, keep in mind that menu items are always subject to change without notice. If a certain gluten-free item has been available in the past, that doesn't necessarily mean it will always be available, as Disneyland updates its menus.
What Are the Cross-Contact Risks For Gluten-Free Dining at Disneyland?
Disneyland acknowledges that there is some risk of cross-contact despite their best efforts to prevent this. On Disneyland's page on special dietary requests, they state: “We use reasonable efforts in our food preparation and handling procedures to avoid the introduction of the most common allergens into your menu choices. While we take steps to prevent cross-contact, we do not have separate allergy-friendly kitchens and are unable to guarantee that a menu item is completely free of allergens.” Bakery items that are stored under the glass display cases at places like Candy Palace and Candy Kitchen, Trolley Treats, and Marceline's Confectionery are at a particularly high risk of cross-contact.
Disneyland also mentions that “allergy-friendly offerings are reliant on supplier ingredient labels, and we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the contents of each food item. Allergen advisory statements (e.g., “may contain”) are not regulated and therefore not taken into consideration when developing allergy-friendly meals.”
Disneyland lists most of its items as “gluten-friendly,” meaning that no gluten was used in the preparation of the item, but it's not fully guaranteed that the item is gluten-free, as cross-contact may occur if it's prepared alongside other gluten-containing foods. As with any food allergy, Disney encourages those who are dining gluten-free to make an informed decision based on their needs and comfort level.
If you are in doubt at all about your options, don't hesitate to request to speak with a chef or a special-diets-trained Cast Member who can help you navigate the offerings at the park. They will be happy to provide guidance and help you explore the options that are the safest and most comfortable for you.
Disneyland Locations With Gluten-Free Offerings
Table-service restaurants will usually have separate allergy-friendly menus that you can request when you arrive. Not all of these are available through the Disneyland website or app, and when you look for the allergy-friendly portion of these menus online, you'll typically see a section with this note:
That being said, you can always look up pictures of allergy-friendly menus online for these table-service restaurants, like Lamplight Lounge and Cafe Orleans (some of the best Disneyland restaurants). While it's not guaranteed that these are current, you can at least get an idea of what the allergy-friendly menu might contain and what options are available to you at the location where you are planning on dining.
At quick-service restaurants, there are certain gluten-free options available across Disneyland. The following gives an idea of the quick-service restaurants that have online menus with separate gluten-friendly offerings.
Keep in mind that these are only the Disneyland online quick-service menus that have separate gluten-free offerings, and there may be options available in addition to the ones below at other dining locations if you inquire and talk to a Cast Member about your allergy-friendly request. For example, Disneyland's Dole Whip and popcorn are gluten-free, and there may be more gluten-free options available at dining locations that are not listed 0n the online quick-service menus.

Bring Your Own Gluten-Free Foods to Disneyland
If you are nervous about the prospect of eating gluten-free at Disneyland, you can always bring your own food into the parks. Just make sure that your food doesn't require storing via refrigeration, extra preparation, or reheating, as Cast Members are not able to help you with this.
You can bring your own food into Disneyland as long as it's not stored in a glass container. You can bring a cooler as long as it fits Disneyland's size limits (nothing larger than 24″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high) with reusable ice packs (as loose or dry ice are some of the items not allowed in the parks per Disneyland's bag policy).
Bringing your own gluten-free food can be an especially great option even if you're planning on dining in the parks, as you can still bring snacks, treats, and other items to enjoy throughout the day that might not be gluten-free at kiosks and smaller dining locations.
Contact Disneyland in Advance for 4 or More Allergy-Friendly Requests
If you have either 4 or more allergy-friendly requests, require pureed meals, or adhere to a medically restrictive diet (such as very low protein), you can contact Special.Diets@Disneyland.com ahead of time after booking dining arrangements no sooner than 14 days before your arrival.
Disneyland has several options for dining gluten-free, and if you are ever in doubt, you can ask Cast Members for assistance in deciding what foods will work best for you. For broader information on dining with allergies at Disneyland, you can see our ultimate guide to Disneyland with dietary restrictions.
