Walt Disney World table-service and quick-service restaurants will do their best to accommodate you if you need meals made without gluten and most dining locations have a gluten and wheat allergy-friendly menu available for you to choose from. You can even
mobile order from the gluten and wheat-allergy-friendly menu through the
