I know this is a "day late & dollar short".  Forgive me.  Here is the
summary of all the responses I got regarding a day at Disneyland.

------------------------

I had the best time at Disneyland.  The popcorn is GF I also had ice cream
@ carnation and a chocolate banana but the highlight was the dinner we had
(go early!!!)  at the Disneyland Hotel.  The chef made a special meal for
me.  I did not plan anything ahead and had my emergency supply across the
street at our hotel so I wasn't really worried.  I had salmon and fresh
veggies and my plate was just as impressive as the rest of the group.  I
love both Disneyland and Disney World they really cater to making the
customer happy, even us celiacs.  Have a great time!  Jeanne

It was so hard for me to eat there.  I took mostly my own food.  I didn't
want to be on the toilet the whole time,just take foods like u were going
camping,like canned meats,hard boil eggs,fruit,bottle water,jerky,rice
cakes etc and protein bars...

Many years ago, I worked at Disneyland in the foodservice division.  I
doubt very much that you will be able to find gluten free items anywhere
in the park.  The restaurant that I worked in was the Blue Bayou (the
Pirates of the Carribean ride goes through it); menu items that you might
think would be safe definately were not.  Some examples:  the green beans
and peas were cooked in chicken broth; the "baked potatoes" were actually
potato shells that had been baked, scooped out, and refilled with instant
potatoes mixed with cheese whiz; pantry items (tomatoes, fresh fruits,
avocados) were prepared on cutting boards and with knives that were also
used to slice bread for making sandwiches and croutons.  Hopefully you
will be able to find some items that are safe, but my recommendation would
be to take meals with you.  There were public lockers available on main
street just inside the main gate when I worked there where you could store
food items during your stay.  At least you wouldn't have to worry about
packing it around with you.

I just wanted to send a quick comment that I went to Disneyland for the
first time since I was diagnosed with celiac in Sept 99.  I made sure I
had breakfast before leaving for Disneyland.  I then brought gluten free
snacks for the day.  For meals in the park I stuck to salads.  There is a
restaurant that basically just serves pizza and salad that is in Tomorrow
Land by Space Mountain I think.  Anyway the man there made sure that he
made a salad to my specifications.  Mixed greens, no croutons, he offered
packaged parmesan cheese with the ingredients on the package.  And olive
oil and balsamic vinegar.  I know this might not be of much help but I
just thought I would let you know in case you don't get any other
information before going there.  When we left the park we went for Dinner.
It was a little late but at least I knew the places that I were going to
weren't going to get me sick.

P.S.  The gentleman who made my salad was wearing plastic gloves and he
even put on fresh ones to handle my food incase he had handles gluten
contaminated food prior.  Of course this was by my request but he was more
than happy to do that.

That is the summary.  When at the Disneyland Hotel, we ate at Hook's
Point.  The chef and waiter were very helpful.  We had salmon, potatoes
and creme brulee for dessert.

Just to let you know the number for the chef at Disneyland again, here
is the info:

His phone number is 714/781-3569.  If there's no answer there, call
714/781-4688.  Someone will answer and just tell them you either want Chef
Chris paged or you want to leave a message on his voice mail.
