Toledo has a lot of gluten-free options and a setting that is absolutely spectacular!

Beaches & Cream has several gluten-free options, including some excellent dessert!

Rosa Mexicano is not traditional mexican cuisine, but offers quite a selection of gluten-free options!

The gluten free choices at Steakhouse 71 were a little underwhelming, but what food I did order was pretty good.

You can enjoy an all-you-can-eat gluten-free breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe.

1900 Park Fare is at the Grand Floridian Resort. It’s a character buffet, but there are several concerns for anyone who wants to eat gluten-free here.

At Disney’s Boardwalk Resort, there’s several different dining options for someone to enjoy. Many of them are extremely popular, as is the case with Trattoria al Forno. It offers both breakfast and dinner as a casual Italian eatery.

When I initially looked at the gluten free menu, I was a little underwhelmed if I am honest. There were only a handful of dishes that were listed as safe for gluten allergies. Then, the server came over and explained that essentially everything on the regular menu is available gluten-free, except the garlic bread, gnocchi, and lasagna!

After hearing this and slowly gathering my thoughts from having my mind blown, we quickly ordered the Crispy Pancetta Arancini as an appetizer. I was told I would get my own roasted garlic and oil for bread and the normal Disney gluten-free rolls.

The server shared that the pizza is a typical purchased gluten-free crust. But I had read about the gluten-free Parmigiana di Pollo. It’s been so long since I’ve had chicken parm that I just had to try it. It came out with a side of pasta as well. Let’s just say that this dish did not disappoint!

The chicken was absolutely amazing! The pasta was soft and cooked perfectly. I’m not a big fan of pasta overall, but this one was good. It wasn’t like some other gluten-free pasta’s that taste pasty or too crunchy. The texture was very similar to what I remember normal pasta texture being like.

After a great experience, I will certainly go back to visit again. They were limited on the dessert options in this location, but you can always visit the Cake Bake Shop just a few doors down to get some gluten-free dessert as you leave!

Just across Seven Seas Lagoon from the Magic Kingdom sits the Polynesian Village Resort. The resort is a beautiful place to stay with convenient access by land, boat, and monorail. Inside of the Polynesian is one of our favorite restaurants: ‘Ohana.

‘Ohana means family which is exactly what Disney builds on with this family dining experience. Everything is served family-style, with large bowls and plates of food brought out to the table. Which heightens the fears of anyone that is attempting to avoid gluten or other food allergens! But Disney handles this extremly well at ‘Ohana.

While the rest of my family enjoyed the normal bread, I was given some of the normal gluten-free rolls that Disney serves along with my own plate of honey and butter. The salad was served and is gluten-free. Everyone at the table was able to share without any concerns. When it came time for the main course, I received my own side of food, including white rice, chicken wings, and vegetables.

For the main couse, all the meats are gluten free. All you can eat steak, chicken, and peel & eat shrimp from the grill. Each with an asian flavor to it.

To end the meal, they have dessert for everyone. While most receive the typical bread pudding or cupcakes, those who need gluten-free are not left out! ‘Ohana has a gluten-free bread pudding dessert. According to the menu, it comes with a dairy free ice cream as well.

While I am not a huge fan of bread pudding, this one was not too bad. It was certainly a great ending to an amazing meal. If you are looking for a great gluten-free meal that will not leave you hungry at the end, try out ‘Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort!

At Disney’s Boardwalk Resort, there has been a lot of excitement with the opening of The Cake Bake Shop. A lot of influencers and bloggers have been visiting and sharing, focusing on the decor and the various options. But many of those options don’t work for those of us who need gluten-free.

We grabbed a lunch-time reservation to visit and see what all the hype was about. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. There was a lot of work done to create a specific experience for anyone who visits.

We asked at the front about gluten-free menu options. The front hostess advised that the restaurant did not have a dedicated gluten-free menu, but that the server would be able to help us with gluten-free options. We were seated very quickly as the restaurant was not very busy. I was told to explore the menu and see what options I liked.

The menu had a lot of different options for meals and drinks. There were 6 total pages in the main menu, as you can see below. It was noted on the main menu that the sandwiches could all be made gluten-free with gluten-free bread.

When the server approached, he advised me that there were no gluten-free soup options. He shared that many things could be modified to be gluten-free, but that the soups were not an option. He shared that he had a family member that had celiac, and he typically recommends the sandwiches as the safest option. I opted for the chicken salad sandwich on the gluten-free bun. The bun was soft and delicious. There wasn’t a ton of flavor to the chicken salad, but it did not taste bad.

The big reason for the visit was to try a gluten-free dessert option, since everyone raves about the cakes. The dessert menu is large, having a few gluten-free options such as a brownie and macaroons.

I decided to go with the Oprah’s “O” List Mint Chocolate Chip Cake. At first I was a little skeptical, but on the first bite that went away. This was by far one of the best gluten-free cakes I have ever had. There were two types of icing on the cake. The inside was a dense icing that had a stronger mint flavor. The outside was light, similar to a buttercream icing, which didn’t have a strong mint flavor at all.

I cannot say that I recommend the food here. The sandwich was just normal, and overpriced in my opinion given what it was. But the cake, that was worth every penny. I cannot recommend it enough if you like chocolate mint!
