Trail's End Restaurant Lunch - Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort

Last Sunday, we had lunch at Trail's End Restaurant at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort.

For breakfast and dinner, Trail's End serves up American favorites at an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet, but for lunch, they have an a la carte menu.

Three Broomsticks - Universal's Islands of Adventure

Earlier today, I had lunch at the Three Broomsticks, a counter service restaurant in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade at Universal's Islands of Adventure.

Before having lunch, I enjoyed a frozen Butterbeer from the cart outside, but I later regretted my impatience, because I wanted something sweet after I ate lunch.

Wendy's Frostys

Yesterday, we decided that we didn't want to spend our whole afternoon in the kitchen preparing our Labor Day dinner, so we kept it simple - mini turkey meatloaves, corn, and a tomato & cucumber salad.  For dessert, we were going to make our first cream cheese pumpkin pie of the season, but in the spirit of keeping it simple and enjoying our holiday, we went to Wendy's for Frostys.

Snacks with Character at Walt Disney World

Yesterday, I stopped at Mouse Gear in Epcot to check out the new gluten free Snacks with Character.

This is the first time I have ever seen certified gluten free treats with Disney characters on the packaging.

Electric Umbrella Allergy-Friendly Menu - Epcot

Earlier today, I stopped at the Electric Umbrella, a quick service restaurant in Future World at Epcot.

Their new allergy-friendly menu lists options for people with gluten/wheat, milk, egg, soy, fish/shellfish, and peanut/tree nut allergies.

Leaky Cauldron - Universal Studios Florida

Earlier today, we had lunch at the Leaky Cauldron, a counter service restaurant in Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida.

This Harry Potter themed pub serves traditional British dishes like fish & chips, bangers & mash, and cottage pie.

OMG...It's Gluten Free Fudge Brownies

I am not sure where I tried my first OMG...It's Gluten Free fudge brownie at Disney World, but I think it it was either Tusker House or Columbia Harbour House.

Our favorite packaged treats at Disney World are now available at a large majority of the Disney-owned and operated quick service and table service restaurants in the theme parks and at the resorts. The brownies are certified gluten free, and are made in a peanut and tree nut free facility, but they do contain milk, soy, and egg.  You can view the ingredients in OMG...It's Gluten Free fudge brownies here.  Disney also sells OMG...It's Gluten Free dairy free chocolate chip cookies and sugar free fudge brownies.  The GF/DF chocolate chip cookies are pretty good, but I avoid the sugar free fudge brownies, because they contain maltitol.

Leaning Palms - Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

Earlier today, I had lunch at Leaning Palms, a quick service restaurant at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.

Of the two water parks at Walt Disney World, my family has always preferred the theming and attractions at Blizzard Beach.  You can read my review of Lottawatta Lodge at Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park here.

Five Cheese Margherita Pizza

Two years ago, I started making pizza with Chebe Original Cheese Bread Mix, which is free of gluten, soy, corn, rice, potato, yeast, peanut, tree nuts, egg, iodine, and sugar.  It is also grain free and non-GMO.  The mix contains manioc (tapioca) flour, modified manioc starch (100% manioc), dry milk, and iodine-free sea salt.  Chebe does make a pizza crust mix, but my husband and I prefer the original cheese bread mix, because it doesn't contain any herbs that affect the flavor of the pizza.  Locally, Chebe mixes are available at Chamberlin's in Winter Park, but I usually buy them from amazon.com.  

If you like Brazilian cheese bread, you will love this crust, which is so easy to make.  We cook our pizza on a cast iron pizza pan, which makes for a nice firm crust that is never soggy.  

Kona Cafe Lunch - Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

Last Saturday, we had lunch at Kona Cafe, a table service restaurant at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.  In the past year, it has become one of our favorite restaurants for lunch at Disney World.  

Kona Cafe used to have gluten free menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they recently adopted allergy-friendly menus, which list options for people with gluten/wheat, milk, egg, soy, fish/shellfish, and peanut/tree nut allergies.
