20 Gluten-Free and Allergy-Friendly Foods at Walt Disney World Leaving This Month

Get them before they’re gone!

Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration is coming to an end on March 31, and taking all it’s limited-time menu offerings with it. If you haven’t had a chance to try some of these special meals and desserts, this is your last chance. Some of the foods are available at quick-service restaurants, while others are more exclusive to signature dining experiences and need reservations. Read on for a list of 20 items that are either gluten-free or allergy-friendly around the parks and resorts, complete with where to find them.

PS: You can skip to the bottom for a quick matrix of the options on the allergy-friendly list and which allergens are present in each.


A couple quick things to note before we dive into the foods that may be safe for you:

First, when dealing with food allergies at a Disney Park, ALWAYS speak to a cast member to inform them of your allergies or dietary needs before ordering. There are specially trained cast members at the food locations throughout the parks. They can let you know if any changes have been made, or if there are modifications available if you see something on the menu that’s not listed as safe do to a component.

Second, Disney does have allergy protocols that are some of the best in the industry. However, there’s always a chance for cross-contact. Use your own judgement here.

And lastly, Disney does not count highly-refined soybean oil, or other highly-refined oils as allergens, and they do not list whether allergens were processed in the same facility as allergy-friendly foods on their menu. If you avoid things made in a shared facility or with highly-refined oils, you may be able to ask for more information.

My Thoughts

There’s not much here at all for those with a milk allergy, only a plant-based burger option at Columbia Harbour House. Guests with celiac disease or a wheat, egg, or soy allergy fare slightly better. Guests who are managing nut or seafood allergies (without any others) will have the most options. Unfortunately there are no Top 8 free foods (nothing safe for me), and I’m disappointed that Disney hasn’t released any info on Sesame yet, since it was declared a top allergen and it’s required to be disclosed on food labels now.

Also, there’s no info on snack carts, because the ingredients for those items aren’t available online. For those locations, you can ask the cast member to see the allergy binder, and those will have a full list of all ingredients for each item that location carries.
