<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My family and I recently vacationed in Florida and had a fantastic gluten free experience in Orlando and Fort Lauderdale. My wife and son have other food allergies as well. I can't say enough about the staff at the World Disney Swan and Dolphin restaurants, as well as Epcot and the Magic Kingdom They were all incredibly accommodating. In most cases the chef or manager came out to the table and discussed the allergy needs with us. At Epcot, we ate at the Mexican, German, Italian, and Moroccan pavilions; they would often check with the other pavilions if they had run out of gluten free buns and get them for us. At the Dolphin, the chef prepared us gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, soy-free waffles. The Swan indicated they could do the same. My 5 year old son was elated. We had similarly wonderful treatment at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort (www.marriottharborbeach.com)in Fort Lauderdale where I was attending a conference. On one occasion I spoke with the executive chef at the Riva restaurant in the hotel prior to lunch and explained all the food allergies. He personally went to the local Whole Foods and bought a bunch of items and reviewed each one with me. Each time we were there, the chef would come to our table and discuss our allergy issues and come up with wonderful meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The chefs would often personally bring out the meals and review them with us. On one occasion, someone in the restaurant asked my wife if we were VIPs because we got such special treatment. My son was in heaven from the special desserts they prepared for him. I can't say enough about the stress relief of knowing that our allergy needs were being taken care of. When we return next year they suggested we notify the hotel in advance so they can purchase products for us in advance so our experience can be even more enjoyable. They even suggested that any Marriott Hotel would be willing to do the same for guests at their hotels. I haven't had the opportunity to test this yet so I don't know if it is true. I had to relay our positive experiences to the listserv to give some hope to those of us who have to be gluten free.
