The ULTIMATE Guide to Disney Cruise Line Gluten Free & With Food Allergies | 2024 Edition

[@caramiller7175]

Thank you so much for putting out this video. I have cruised many times with DCL, but was about to cruise my first time with a lot of food sensitivities. Your video was super helpful. We took your advice and notified them of my food issues before we arrived. We also went on day 1 to ask about pre-ordering & how best to do that in case we were seated with others so as not to be too disruptive. I was able to pre-order for that night, which made meeting our dinning team much less chaotic. Thank you again for all your great tips. We had an amazing cruise, with minimal issues. We appreciate you 😊

You're welcome! We're so so glad to hear that it was super helpful and informative. We're also really glad to hear that it helped you navigate your first cruise with food sensitivities with good results! 😍

Going on my first Disney cruise in December (merry time cruise) and I am so excited! I really enjoyed this video. Lots of great tips and ideas for my upcoming trip!

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

That's so exciting! Merry Time cruises are so festive and fun. We hope you have the best time! We're glad to hear that the video was helpful and gave you ideas for the trip. If we can help with any questions before your sailing, let us know! 😊

[@peterflihan3]

So many great availabilities about gluten-free dining that I didn't know. Thanks so much! BTW, I think the reason people favor embarkation videos is because the whole vacation is in front of you. It is all possibility. So exciting. Thanks again for the helpful and great content!

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

We're glad to share the info and so glad to hear that it was helpful. That's a really great point about the videos and embarkation ones being the most popular in a series & totally makes sense. We're looking forward to sharing all the excitement and possibilities in our embarkation vlog coming up for our next cruise series and trip to Europe! 😍

[@susangranski7257]

Great comprehensive video! Looking forward to seeing you cruise vlogs from your European trip!!

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed it! We can't wait to share our vlogs from Europe too -- it's coming up quickly! 😍

Love the trolley show

[@jacquicollins8826]

My cruise is coming up and my traveling buddy is celiac, so this video is super appreciated!

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

Have an amazing time! We're so glad that this is helpful for you & your travel buddy! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! 😍

[@windyfetterly5423]

Great video, we also enjoy DCL. Favorite ship is the next one I can be on. I've debated trying another cruise line then I think about how well DCL accommodates my celiac and food allergies, then decide to book another DCL sailing! We are excited our next sailing is on the first DCL ship we started on, the Magic

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

DCL is so good with special dietary needs. Like you, it is one of the many reasons we love to sail the DCL ships! So exciting about your upcoming sailing on the Magic. It's one of our favorites in the fleet!

[@jenw3246]

Thank for taking the time to put this comprehensive video together! Also, thank you for including your sweet kitty 🐱😀

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

We're glad we could share the info and are glad to hear that it's helpful! We love making at home videos too when our kitties get to join in the fun! 😻

[@angelahaydt6592]

This is so helpful! We leave for our first DCL to Alaska next Monday!

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

We're so glad to hear that it was helpful! We hope you have an amazing Alaska cruise! 😍

[@paulmeyer5221]

I love that the sun has set behind you during this whole video 😂 your in depth videos are always the best though!

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

Haha! That's when you know it's a truly long video! 🤣 We're thorough and give you ambiance! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@windyfetterly5423]

The head server is also the person you should reach out to if something goes wrong or you have a concern. During my last cruise they almost put gluten filled soy sauce on my dish. I luckily spotted the red lid right before it occurred. I discussed this almost mistake with the head server and he was very visible the rest of the entire cruise and he double checked absolutely everything before it was put in front of me.

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

That's a really excellent point and tip! Things can happen, and a head server is definitely one you want to alert if something comes up. I'm so sorry you almost got glutened on your last cruise. 😢 That was a good catch and definitely good that you let your head server know.

[@pamdalesio1751]

Thanks for doing this video for all of us! I always preorder my meals including breakfast! Sometimes I struggle to decide what I want for dinner when I am full! DCL is the best! Whichever the ship I am on at the time is my favorite ❤

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

You're so welcome! We're so glad to share our experiences and tips with you all. Thanks for sharing how you choose to cruise with special diets food too! 💙 DCL really is the best & we agree that any Disney Cruise is the best cruise!

[@laurapalmieri1711]

My last cruise on the magic, they told me my only option for dairy free ice cream was to go to the specialty shop or buy a dole whip

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

We're so sorry to hear that you had that experience. Things can change across ships & specific sailings depending on lots of factors, including supplies (at least based on our experience, where we might be able to get a product on one ship but not on a following sailing). We've been able to get DF ice cream in all the places we noted and will definitely report back on our upcoming sailings our experience too.

[@laurapalmieri1711]

@@glutenfreedairyfreedisney it wasn’t so bad. I opted for a boozy dole whip lol!

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

@@laurapalmieri1711 A boozy Dole Whip is never a bad thing! 😍

[@SilverCeliac]

Thanks for the great info! Can you comment as to the availability of GF beers and ciders (praying for "on tap", but will happily accept canned or bottled) at the bars? TIA for your great work!

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

We're glad that the info was helpful! Great question about GF beers and ciders. Most of the ships do usually have a few hard ciders on tap in the pub style bars/lounges but not gluten free beer. Sometimes you can find GF beer in bottles on the ship, but it varies by sailing and what supplies are available. We'll check on our upcoming cruise to see what options are on the Disney Dream when we sail!

[@Dastruggle412]

Now can you only get the eggs Benedict and the gluten free Mickey churro waffles at the sit down breakfast? Or can you also get those at cabanas

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

You can get them both at Cabanas/Marceline Market or at main dining. We've done both! 😍

[@EricMobley1]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve sailed on DCL previously but this is helpful. I’m going on the Fantasy in November for the first time! Can’t wait! ❤

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

We're so glad to hear that it was helpful even for seasoned DCL cruisers! Hope you have an amazing time on the Fantasy! We'll be sailing the Fantasy in November too! 😍

@@EricMobley1 Your first Merrytime sailing! That is SO exciting! We love holidays on DCL, plus a double dip to Castaway is perfection!

I tried ordering room service at 11pm one time and they said the allergy kitchen isn't open that late and that I had to order food in the morning. Has anyone here ever ordered at night and gotten gluten free?

[@Pikaroth]

Hey! This is Brandon, and I’m sure Sarah will respond later, but I did want to say that first, both of us are sorry to hear that. I know for a fact that at least once we did order room service a little after 11:30pm, to include gluten free, and there were no issues. Again, Sarah will respond with more as she’s the one with the better memory, but we have absolutely gotten room service after 11pm. I am so sorry you had that happen, though!

[@glutenfreedairyfreedisney]

I know that Brandon already responded but wanted to echo his notes. We're so sorry you had that experience. We have been able to get room service later but we will also check on our upcoming sailing. Things can definitely change, so we'll see if this is a new update to room service or if there are other important notes we can share with you all!
