Goofy's Kitchen is located in Downtown Disney (outside the park) near the Disneyland Hotel.
Still in walking distance of the hotel.
The all you can eat buffet will satisy the wheat lovers in your family. They had everything - even things I had never seen like breakfast pizza?
The chef came and showed us what was good for us on the buffet. We enjoyed bacon and eggs and specially made gluten free pancakes and waffles. They had an omlette station and each omlette was made while you wait - but allergy sufferers be mindful the utensils are not changed between ingredients. I suppose if you asked the chefs would oblige to make it separately.
Make sure the camera is charged as the characters wander around all the tables and let you snap away those funny photos.
Highly recommend.

Outside Goofys Kitchen is the Monorail directly into the park. A great way to avoid the crowds at the gates.
Time for Dinner and JACKPOT again - we found PF Changs down the road at the Gardenwalk - two blocks from the hotel.
PF Changs have a gluten free menu - we shout HOORAY. We rang ahead and ordered takeaway as the place was packed.
By far the best meal so far gluten free fried rice and gluten free mongolian lamb and dessert as a big finish. GF chocolate dome with raspberry sauce.

Sadly this is the last day of our park hopper pass and after 3 x eleven hour days of shows, rides, parades, fireworks we still haven't seen and done everything - but we have enjoyed every minute.
So our best tip is:
Visit Disneyland during the week and out of american school holidays.
The weekends are very busy and the wait times on the rides go from 5 to 10 minutes during the week to over one hour for each ride on weekends.
The greatest disservice that Disney has - is not identifying gluten free on their menus in their restaurants - if you don't have the allergy listing of restuarants from the Chamber of Commerce or City Hall you will have great trouble.
Seems all the staff I asked do get requests from allergy sufferers often but no one does anything about satisying demand. After watching the television you will soon realise - every second advertisement is a lawyers company ready to sue for anything - it seems a very litigious environment. Probably easier for companies to avoid the issue than try to solve it.
But something is wrong when you walk into the biggest candy, lolly shop you have ever seen in Disneyland and nothing is gluten free - confirmed by asking the staff.
