While the Disney Wish is only a few months old, they are already on the ball with some great Gluten Free options. These options are officially labeled “Gluten Friendly” which could mean several things, so it’s important to communicate your comfort level (we’ll talk more about communication here).
There are multiple restaurants on The Disney Wish,and all of them have an Allergy Menu or the option to make Gluten Free Foods. Lets cover those in detail below and give examples of the allergy menus so you know what to expect.

Does the Disney Wish have any Gluten free labeled drinks?
While many gluten free folks can have drinks made without gluten, some need the gluten free label! They did have a few drinks that are labeled gluten free.
Here’s the drinks found on the Wish that are labeled gluten free:
- Gluten Free Lager
- Rekorderlig Hard Ciders
- Truly Hard Seltzer
- White Claw
They did not have any hard liquors labeled gluten free, but had many reputable brands which gluten free folks enjoy like Titos, Bacardi, Captain Morgans etc. Full bars were plentiful, but finding a bartender who understood cross contact was less so. (Stick to the ‘fancy’ bars of The Bayou, The Rose, The Cove etc and avoid the ones on the decks.)
***As Always, please speak to a qualified restaurant employee when ordering food. In order to see the most accurate ingredients and risk assessment, you will need to confirm allergy safety in real-time. This is my personal experience, I am not employed or endorsed by companies or brands mentioned.***
Rotational Dining
In the evenings, the dining options are chosen for you. There are three options, and you will rotate through the dining options keeping the same waitstaff and table number. On my cruise, we were table 216, and we started in the Marvel Dining room, then Arrendale, then 1923.
Breakfast and Lunch are not rotational, you can choose from Marceline’s Market, 1923 or Room Service.
Preordering Food
You can preorder your meals ahead of time with your waitstaff and they will give the information to the Chef. I preordered every meal, but with several allergies, mine wasn’t very quick at Dinner (much quicker at breakfast and lunch). Learn more about preordering in the Disney Cruise FAQ
Gluten Free Rotational Dining Menus for Dinner on The Disney Wish
This is for Gluten Free, but there are also guides for Dairy Free and those with Food Allergies on the Wish.

Do they have gluten-free Mickey Waffles? You mention them as an option, but they aren’t marked as gluten-free on the menu. Is it the same as Disney World where they have a gluten-free version on request?
Yes, they do have Gluten Free Mickey Waffles, and it is on request.
