Dining at Disney

Just finished reading a blog post by Ginger Carter Miller (Gluten Free In Georgia and Florida) detailing her experience trying to get gluten free food at a conference in Illinois. It was bad. Very bad.
Just when I have hope for eating out with food intolerance/allergies comes a horror story. I don't eat out much any more. And sometimes I miss it.
This makes my memories of eating at Walt Disney World earlier this year even more special.
I wish I had taken a picture of every meal I ate and especially of every chef who came to our table and explained what I could eat and how they would accommodate me. They were amazing. I felt like I was the star of some wonderful new gluten free cooking show.They talked me through the menu or the buffet line. The chef at the 50's Prime Time Cafe said he would convert anything I wanted on the menu.
Even at the counter service establishments, the managers were knowledgeable and helpful. A chef from France made me gluten free waffles!! (In the shape of Mickey of course.) And that was at one of the Value Resorts.
So gluten free dining at Disney World is do-able and enjoyable! Now if only they could teach the rest of the continent how to do it....
