Sometimes it is easier to get a less than 60 days out reservation at Cafe Orleans. I opted to reserve my dining experience at Cafe Orleans because of the better lighting (for my photos) and the cheaper price. In my online reservation I noted I was gluten free, however, there was not an option to add any notes about my gluten free Monte Cristo request. It was suggested to me to email Disneyland Special diets about my request.
About 12 days before my reservation I emailed Disneyland special diet team with my request of a meat and cheese gluten free Monte Cristo sandwich. I also included my reservation information to make it easier for them. A day or two later they replied with a thank you and the request has been added to my reservation.
48 hours before my reservation I called the Disneyland dining reservation phone number. I wanted to double check on my reservation and it’s a good thing I did because I was informed that the gluten free Monte Cristo request was not with my reservation. The cast member informed me to always call to put in the request no later than 24 hours prior to your reservation time.
