Thank you
I just recently became a vegetarian, and my family is going to EPCOT in February. Could we please have an updated 2020 version?
What did you end up eating?!
Heyyy 😂 i went Vegetarian when I was 12 almost 13 in Jan 2022 and I never been to Disneyworld and I got surprised with tickets for July 2023 and I’m so excitedddd❤ but I’m a little worrried abt plant based dining not rly but idk bc I think I’m also lactose intolerant so it’s gonna be hard to basically do vegan stuff so idk if I can go to the buffet crystal palace one but yeah
I’ve been a vegetarian my whole life and every restaurant in Disney will kindly acomidate you no matter what!
They sure will!
Are the meus clearly marked? Not just for mains but also desserts ?
Thats so helpfull thanks 😊
@@DFBGuide I feel like you should do an update on this with all the new restaurants. My son is a vegetarian, and we are going to plan a trip for 2022
@@bbybap4729 was going to comment the same thing! Would love to know more for our trip in 2022
Dole Whip uses a seaweed derived base instead of milk to create the creamy texture.
I was slightly concerned because often if there's no dairy, there may be gelatin. Good to know!
It stays solid longer because of it
Ingredients list :
Sugar / Dextrose / Coconut Oil / Stabilizers (Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Karaya Gum, Pectin) / Maltodextrin / Citric Acid / Natural & Artificial Flavor (contains Pineapple Juice), Modified Food Starch, Malic Acid, Artificial Color (Yellow 5 & 6) / Mono & Diglycerides / Less Than 2% Silicon Dioxide (Anticaking)
If you ever do a updated version of this. Woodys lunchbox in toy story land has a amazing list of vegan options. The chili tots are amazing, even though I went last week I forgot what it's actually called haha but it's so amazing for all you vegan lovers
I had bottomless vegan milkshakes at Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge!
YAAAAASSSSSS!
Holy hell.
I’m vegan and I’m so grateful that you included options for me! I’ll be doing the Disney college program so this blessed my heart for when I want to eat in the park!
The vegetarian curry pods are outstanding! Wish I had one right now! Tofu bowl was also delicious!
So good!
Thank you! I appreciate the lack of black bean burger options! This has been very informative. Thank you.
Thanks Derek! We included the favorites from our followers, and while there are many "plant-based burger" options in WDW, there's lots of other great vegetarian food to try.
A lot of places have the black bean burger, but it isn't vegan. Many of those places upon request can sub out a gardenburger which is vegan. I agree with you though, that's kind of a last resort when it comes to Disney...
Could not agree more!!
New as of late March 2019, Whispering Canyon at Fort Wilderness Lodge has plant based all-you-care-to-eat platter that includes BBQ JAK FRUIT, which, if you have never had this (if they have done it correctly using untie jak fruit) tastes like BBQ pulled pork.
I’m going to Disney world in March and would love an updated video focusing on vegan and how we can customize things (I have a quick service food pass)
This was really helpful and also made me hungry, lol. Disney World has come a long way in Vegan & Veggie options but I'm hoping for much broader menu options in the future!! ;)
We need to find a way to clone Chef TJ
We just got back from our trip and the Tofu Bowl at Satu'li Canteen was really good. I love that you can create your own bowl. We had the Vegetable Curry Pods as well and they were good. Some of my favorites on other trips were Tusker House and Boma. Good variety of choices.
I visited in February 2020 and Disney has done a great job of adding Vegan/Vegetarian options especially to their quick service restaurants, so much that I was not expecting it! I have been vegetarian for a while now, I usually order sides or slightly modify meals to make the vegetarian, which I am used to doing but this time was not the case! I would go up to quick service restaurants prepared to order sides but when I thoroughly examined the menu, I saw that they have added options like plant based hot dogs at Caseys Corner, plant based sausages at Flame Tree BBQ, and I saw an interesting plant based burger at Pecos Bills, and many many more! I was staying at Saratoga for a night and didn't even realize one of the breakfast sandwiches I was jealous I couldn't have was actually plant based because I just did not even give the menu description a second glance when I read the word "sausage", but I will be reading more thoroughly from now on!
Yay!!! 👏👏👏👏 Thank you!! Another one to add is Garden Grill. They have all you can eat family style meatless loaf. It’s great! We had to ask for it there was nothing about it on the menu.
begging for a 2019 update! so many veggie options are being added throughout the parks!!
Loved the tofu bowls at Satuli Canteen! I wanted to eat at all the restaurants at AK Lodge, they all looked good :-) Sanaa was fantastic - totally agree about the bread service. Disney World's actually really good for vegetarians - you can often ask for a veggie option if there isn't one, and at some places (like La Hacienda de San Angel) they bring out a special vegetarian menu if you ask.
So true -- They're great about modifying the menu for your dietary needs!
Cakes with Faces satu'li!!! Yes! Delicious!
Beaches & Cream also has vegan ice cream & sundaes available!
You do have to be careful though, because sometimes they'll say it's vegetarian or vegan, but it may cooked in chicken stock which is very true for Epcot.
So happy for this food blog!!! I absolutely love Biergarten. I agree with the other choices but have some other gems. Columbia Harbour House has a vegetarian chili that is fantastic. Pizzafari surprised me on my last trip with a wonderful Mediterranean flatbread. Their broccoli is also wonderful and flavorful.
Also as an added tip you can ask any quick service kiosk (ice cream carts, popcorn stands, counter service restaurants, etc.) for a food allergy book! Every location should have a binder of what is dairy-free, gluten-free, and even have complete ingredient lists if you need it! It also helps you to ask for it because whenever you ask a cast member for that binder they call their manager and tell them someone asked for it as well as what you ordered. I think it's a way for managers to see what options are working and were they can improve! :)
I would really love to see an updated version of this list!
Can you do a video for best Gluten Free/Dairy Free options?!
YES! I was just going to say this too. I've had great success finding good GF foods in Disney World but I'm sure there's some great options I'm missing too
Do a Search & it should come up 😊
Great video AJ! I would add La Hacienda. They have their own vegetarian menu. The Mickey pretzels and fried green tomato sandwich are a must on every trip. I actually love the biergarten for vegetarians too. Cheese plates at any restaurant are yummy. Goat cheese ravioli at California Grill. Okay I'll stop. It's making me hungry.
Ha ha! Thanks, Laura! Great tips!
I'm so giddy that there were so many new options you've provided me that I hadn't thought of! I'm really thankful! You guys are the best. Love this channel, really enjoyed this vid!!
I would be so so great full if you could make a vegan guide for DLP! I'm planning a trip!
This is so exciting! I'm a vegetarian and I've never been to Disney with this diet before. Boyfriend and I are planning for Jan of 2019 for my birthday, so I'll def use this video to help plan where we eat
Yay! Have a great trip and don't forget - if you don't see something on the menu that suits you, ask a Cast Member as there are usually alternatives available that aren't listed. Also, the kids' options sometimes have some nice veggie stuff available too and come with yummy sides like cookies or applesauce (yup, I'm a big kid!).
Keep in mind also from a vegetarian sister, they have a veggie burger in most or all locations. In tomorrowland I was able to get a falafel burger in November. I thought it was very good. :)
If you end up in toy story land. At woodys lunch box they do vegan substitutes for a few choices and the chili tots are soooo amazing def my fav kinda nostalgic kid food in all of Disney and it's a good portion for two people. Have fun and make magic happen!
Thank you for this! Lots of ideas for our next trip. On our last trip, I celebrated my birthday with a wonderful vegetarian meal at Jiko. Like Sanaa, Jiko has a whole vegetarian menu to choose from. Not just a couple of options but a whole menu!
You guys are AWESOME!! Thank you for thinking of us veg-heads! :)
Please update this and do a 2019 version
Yaas!
I had not seen the Brie & Apple sandwich! Vegetarian Chili at Columbia House is delicious, hearty, and very filling. It’s one of my favorite options as a vegetarian.
This was so helpful! As a vegetarian it’s difficult to always make everyone happy when I live in a meat eating family. Now I know where to go so that we all are happy!
thank you, helpful
i needed this!! thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I was one of the ones who requested this video, and you guys told me it was coming, just maybe not in time for my trip. My trip is next month! Your timing couldn't be more perfect!
DFB is the best. I love you guys!
YAY!
Thank you so much for this one! I love it.
To help any future viewers or time travelers, I can personally recommend the vegetarian Bangers & Mash at The Plaza in Magic Kingdom. Those were absolutely bonkers and very filling, no weird 'fake meat' rubberiness.
Also worth mentioning they have the fried green tomato sandwich there as well, but it does come with bacon by default.
Was totally expecting those options to be real yawns but I was blown away.
This is so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊❤️
Please do an updated video of this 😍 I love this video regardless but can imagine how much more amazing veggie & vegan food items are available now! 🤩 Thankyou! 🤍✨
i’ve been waiting for this for ages omg!!!!! i thought i was gonna have a really hard time finding things to eat in disney but this made me really relieved💞💞
Planning our honeymoon and of course want the best food out there! :) THANK YOU so much for this video!!
This is EXACTLY what I needed. Very excited to go now. I was worried about finding veggie options on my next trip. Also good to see that there are great options at places that the rest of my non-vegetarian family already loves to go. Will make our next trip so much better.
Would love an updated version of this!!
OMG I am so grateful for you guys!
Yesss!! We have been waiting for this one!! 🌎✌
YESS
Hope it doesn't disappoint!
I've been wanting to see a video like this!! Everything looks so delicious! Could you make one for Disneyland now? I feel like there's probably a few items I don't know about in certain places, and I'd love to hear the best ones! Thanks for the awesome video!!
One of my favorite videos! Thanks, AJ!
It has probably already been said but Chef TJ is at Cape May right now (Spring 2020) or was before the covid shutdown. My wife and inlaws got to experience his service while I got to stay behind at the resort (POFQ) with a cranky 4 year old but she has told me he is absolutely worth seeing if you are a vegan. When you make reservations make sure you ask what days he works and hopefully he will be there.
omg i drooled at the first restaurant you showed...
This is a helpful video thanks for posting! Morroco in Epcot has ALOT of options for vegetarians and vegans! Most dishes can be made into a vegan dish you just have to communicate with the chef/manager. China has good options as well with a tofu bowl and vegetable egg rolls. Sunshine seasons also has so dishes for vegans as well!
yes!!! I've been waiting for this video!
The only soup at Boma thats not vegetarian was a seafood curry soup. But it's pescatarian!
Yes, when I was there last month, there were no vegan soups at all.
i'm saving this video for later hahaha thank you for the tips!
Would love an updated version of this video!!!!!!
Great video. Was so helpful for our stay. Would recommend Skipper Canteen. They modified a number of dishes for us and all were delicious! Would recommend the Perkins Thai noodles without the chicken. Also had falafel and Orinoco Ida's Cachapas, both wear also very good. There were lots of other dishes which they offered to modify for us.
Just came back from my Disney trip and I have to say that one of my favorite meals was the red quinoa cakes at Whispering Canyon. They were so good, even my big meat eating husband was obsessed. Definitely recommend.
The bangers and mash at The Plaza is amazing, and the vegan hot dog at Casey’s Corner is top 5 best things I’ve eaten at Disney.
Thanks for this video!! So many options
I visited the Magic Kingdom way back in the 90s as a young vegan. I was happy to find some kind of vegan snowcone thing and a boxed salad that was more than pedestrian for me because they included red bell pepper and kidney beans. Given the choices we vegans had in the 90s as far as dining out that was a big deal. I need to try some of this new stuff!
This all looks amazing, can't wait to try!☺
Wow! You said tabboulah!!!!!! Correct pronunciation!!!! I was surprised because everyone tries to mimic the Lebanese accent when saying it, which is somewhat close to tabouli, but they get even than wrong.
WOULD LOVE AN UPDATED ONE FROM YOU ☺️☺️☺️ you are my favourite wdw platform so would love a new one x
Thank you for this video! I'm visiting next week and would've never known there were so many vegetarian options in the parks! This will be a great help on my trip!
I am so happy that i came across this video. You guys are so informative. I was a little stressed with what I could eat when we go to disney in june because I am vegetarian. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for making this video - awesome job! We've just got back from a WDW trip and ate at almost all the CS places you listed. In addition to the rice bowl, Pecos Bill's can make a vegetarian version of any of their meat dishes with a really tasty courgette and squash mix.
Other than these places, however, I felt that many of the quick service veggie options had gone downhill since our last trip. It used to be that almost every CS place had a different and interesting veggie option available, but now it seems to be more and more veggie burger or salad. We ended up hitting a number of our favourites (listed in your video!) twice, just so I could get a decent meal. If anyone else has found this, please write to the Mouse to let him know you're not happy! On the last night we went to Boma and hogged-out on amazing rice, cous cous and stacks of vegetables, so that made things a lot better! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)
Joanna, thanks for sharing! What are your favorite CS places?
Oooh, I'd have to say: Tangierine Cafe, Satu'li Canteen and Pecos Bill are my top choices. I also like Pinocchio's Village Haus, La Cantina, Sunshine Seasons, Wolfgang Puck and Rosie's.
This video is just what I needed
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS VIDEO!! I’m going to WDW in October and it will be my first time going as a vegetarian. This made me excited and relieved 💕🌱
Hello! Can we please have an updated version of this? It’s 2024, so many restaurants have updated their menus or closed 😢
Would love to see an updated version. Would also love to see Disney create more vegan options that don't swap a meat item for a highly processed fake meat. I work at a farm to table restaurant and see what can be done with some ingenuity :)
Hi! I love the videos on your channel, and I’m glad you included a video about vegan options at Disney. Could you make an updated video about Disney’s plant based options? Didn’t they add many more options in 2019? Do they have a dining plan or festivals/events with vegan food? All the information you provide is so valuable. This seems to be the only thing I’m missing. 😊
My husband and I went to Disney World for our first wedding anniversary. He is vegetarian and was pleasantly surprised how abundant the options were for him. But this video really helped with more options we hadn’t thought of!
Amazing suggestions!❤
FINALLY!!!! Also, you get the most amazing pitas and hummus at 'Ohana when you let them know that you're vegetarian! I still dream about them...
Thank you so much for this video! I'm going either this weekend or next and now i can't wait to go eat some food! Do you know anything about the funnel cakes served in the America Pavillion at Epcot though?
Thank you for this video! My sister and I are vegetarian and we are going to Disney later this year, so this video was very helpful to start planning. Thank you!
Be sure to let us know what your favorite finds are!
I think we will enjoy Via Napoli's white and Blaze pizza because we love pizza and Italian food. I have never experienced Disney World as a Vegetarian as I have only been one since September. I am very excited for that though!
Thanks! This was very informative and discovered some new options we were not aware of!
Great!
Lots of great choices for veggie lovers!
Coming from Ireland for the first time in 2023! Would love an updated version :)
This is amazing! Now we just have to go to Disney World!
So excited for this!!!!!! 🌱
Enjoy -- and share your favorites as well!
more Vegan stuff we need more lol
Sanaa has got to be one of the best restaurants for vegetarians/vegans in Florida. Delicious delicious food
This was a much needed video, so thank you. I'd say Port Orleans Riverside is quite good for veggies too, especially the create your own pasta station in the food court.
Yes, great tip! They've got create your own pasta at several of the food courts in the resorts!
Hey AJ - Do you have any plans to make an updated version of this video? I would LOVE it if you did, especially since this video is over 4 years old, and SO MUCH has changed since this video was made. Thanks for your consideration!
Would it be possible for you to do an updated version of this video PLEASE!! I'm going in April and have not been since you first aired this video, so it would be great to see all the new options and get your professional opinion!! Oh and BTW Thank you so much for all the great content you post my family and I watch you all the time!!
Hi may we see an updated version of this anytime soon? :)
Please make a part 2!! :)
Would love to get an update on this! So important for so many people!
Would love to see another video with the updated plant based initiative at Disney World! Also love your videos!
im soo excited!
Please a video on
1. what things are open at the hard ticketed events ? I mean like firework shows or rides or food location ( shortly is it okay to go to a after hour event rather than regular hours ??? And do something else in regular hour time ?)
2. Expensive vegetarian food for DDP
3. Cheap vegetarian food
4. Good neighbour hotels
5. What ride to fast pass ??
What is the minimum days for a Disney cruise?
Love your channel !!!!
I might be going back to Disney World next January as a full vegetarian, so it’s good to know that there are some really great options! Last time I went in May I was a little stressed because I didn’t do my research on vegetarian food across the parks. This time, I will make sure to plan out the different options that I will have.
Skipper canteen in the magic kingdom has a pineapple rusted tofu dish with coconut rice that made me pretty much shed tears when i went last summer! also the tofu dish in pandora in animal kingdom! i HAVE to go there every time I go to disney!
This is soooo helpful because I just whent plant based
Thank you so much for this video! I would’ve been so lost every time I’ve been to Disney (and I’m an AP) if it weren’t for online resources like this. One of my favorite places is in the land pavilion and I think they have 2(??) vegan options. Thank you for making this video so I can see all the food without having to go everywhere lol
You're welcome! Thanks Kristen!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
Tangerine falafels ...Rosie’s friend green tomatoes....Blaze pizza...Tusker house mash potatoes & green beans. Some you mentioned I still have to try!
Garden grill in Epcot offers a vegetarian skillet during their character breakfast with Morningstar sausages. It was great! You have to request it since it’s not listed.
Akershus too! It has amazing goat cheese ravioli for vegetarians, plus a nice buffet
Wow! Thank you AJ!! This was wonderful. We are vegan, and recently have become gluten free due to 2 Celiac diagnoses within our family. If you could do a video about gluten free choices, that would also be great. I know you are not vegan or vegetarian, so I truly appreciate that you made this video!
