Embracing Variety: Gluten-Free Options Abound
One of the biggest misconceptions about gluten-free dining, especially at festivals, is limited choices. At Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the variety of naturally gluten-free options and dishes specifically prepared to be gluten-free.
Planning is Key: Navigating the Festival with Dietary Needs
While Epcot offers a plethora of gluten-free choices, a bit of pre-festival planning can significantly enhance your experience.
Here are a few tips:
- Download the My Disney Experience App: The app provides up-to-date menus, including allergen information, for all food booths.
- Utilize the Festival Passport: This handy guide, available throughout the park, highlights gluten-free options at each booth.
- Communicate with Cast Members: Don’t hesitate to inform Cast Members at food booths about your dietary needs. They’re trained to assist guests with allergies and sensitivities.
