Disneyland has Gluten Free!

So, we're heading down to Disneyland in a few weeks - VERY excited! Last time we were there we only had to deal with DD's dairy issues. Which wasn't too bad, brought her soy milk along and it's easy enough to be selective for meals with her and didn't have any problems with the "no ice cream" rule. There are enough other treats and snacks she could enjoy. And she was only 2.5 years old on our last visit. I expect this time around, should be much the same for her at the ripe old age of 4.

Me, however, will be a different story. First time facing the parks with food "issues". I did some digging on the internet and found that Disney *does* cater to us GF guests! What!? Awesome! I read that if you email Disney Guest Services, they will email you back a current list of their GF options. So, I did. And, took about a week, but they emailed back the list! So excited and happy I wouldn't be eating just giant pickles and pineapple spears the whole week! :)

No churros (*sob*), but plenty of other options, especially for meal time - even GF Mickey waffles! Take a look, this was as of May 24, 2012 (a current list can be picked up in the parks as well) :
