Though gluten-free may be a “trend” for some, for others it is a lifestyle choice or serious allergy. And when you’re at the happiest place on Earth, it should be the last thing you need to worry about. So here’s a bunch of restaurants with allergy-friendly menus or specific gluten-free dishes. As always, make sure to check with your server or cast member for your allergy needs. Take a look at the best gluten-free restaurant options at Walt Disney World.
