She shouldn’t be nervous Disney is the best at accomadating allergies! My boyfriend is GF, and we’ve been going several times a year for the last coue years and never had a problem.
She can eat french fries at most places, as long as they have a dedicated fryer they’ll be safe. Most Disney restaurants do. Some third party restaurants don’t (for example Homecomin’ doesn’t have GF fries available). They’ll let you know when you tell them your allergy what’s safe.
I believe there are GF beers in some places. My boyfriend doesn’t really drink much so he’s never tried any and I’m not sure where. Hard ciders are also GF, and just about any other alcoholic drink too.
Quick service might take a couple minutes longer and you won’t be able to use the
MDE app to order ahead where it’s allowed. I wouldn’t avoid it but we do mostly TS our of personal preferences and because there can be more variety to the allergy choices. Dluxe Burger, Satu’li Canteen, and Blaze Pizza are good QS wih Gf options for example. And all the resorts will have GF choices.
Defintely keep Tusker House. It’s great food and allergy friendly. At buffets if you’re afraid of cross contamination then let the chef know, and they’ll bring fresh food from the back. They also will probably have some allergy versions of donuts, toast, waffles they’ll bring out.
Let me know if you’re curious about anything else. I also have food reviews marked in my signature (usually as “DTR”), that have GF reviews in them for many restaurants. I would also definitely look at the menus ahead of time some third party restaurants in DS & Epcot, and most the festival booths don’t have much available (aside from some drinks), but that’s about the only places that seems to be an issue. And always mark it on the reservation and then we usually mention it at the restaurant too.
I don’t want to speak for everyone because I may be wrong, but I know a couple people who are GF and the allergy isn’t like peanuts. They can be in the room and near the items, some people are even okay with some cross contamination (but if you’re unsure don’t take the chance they’ll be able to accomadate). My boyfriend and I store both GF and non GF food in our kitchen and he even cooks the non GF food for me sometimes with no issue. Just don’t store GF and non GF food together and wash dishes between using them for Gf and non GF food. Out of the people I know that have the allergy, there’s a variety of reactions to eating it, but none have issues being around it so as for being in the same room I’d say that’s fine.
