About Me


Hello, my name is Janel, I am a native Californian whom is a wife of 22 years and a mom to two awesome kids. I first started my gluten free journey in 2006 when my son was suspected to have Celiac Disease.  Shortly after I discovered I was gluten intolerant.  

Fast forward to a few years later (2007-2008) we started visiting Disneyland annually. Back then you could call Disneyland and discuss everything with a chef. Too many people called often so it got discontinued. You could also get a printed list but not ahead of time. So if we wanted to know what was gluten free you had to know someone who could get the list. And this list changed frequently so there was a chance it might not be the same.

I started sharing my Disneyland trips & gluten free food online and I noticed quite a few people started coming to me for information. That’s how Gluten Free and the Mouse was started (first it was under a two different names for many many years). I rebranded aka changed my website & social media name to Gluten Free and the Mouse back in 2020-2021 and since then I’ve been able to reach more people who are looking for gluten free options for Disneyland.

I created this gluten free community to help others around the world discover new gluten free products. I've always had a love of Disney and saw there was also a need to help others discover what gluten free options were available at Disneyland.
