The Happiest (Vegan) Place on Earth

The Happiest Place on Earth announced it’s jumping on the vegan bandwagon. Earlier today, Disney announced that it will roll out plant-based food options at every dining location at both Disney World (starting early October) and Disneyland (in spring 2020).

In a recent blog post, the theme park giant said, “We’re thrilled to announce that ALL of our major quick and table service restaurants will soon be serving up plant-based options at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort — along with a new plant-based menu icon coming to Disney dining.”

“Our guests will now be able to choose from hundreds of sweet and savory creations, including many brand-new dishes destined to become fan favorites!”

As many as 400, in fact!

Thomas Smith, Editorial Content Director at Disney Parks, wrote, “These fun and flavorful options are made from plant-based ingredients like vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes — and are made without animal meat, dairy, eggs or honey.”

So What’s on the New Vegan Menu?

• Plant-Based Cashew Cheescake from California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort
• Chili-Spiced Crispy Fried Tofu Bowl from Satu’li Canteen at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
• Shiriki Noodle Salad from Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen at Magic Kingdom Park

… to name a few.

Disney is also introducing a new menu icon — a green leaf — which you’ll see next to any and all plant-based food options.
