Anyone who’s been to Walt Disney World before knows that the food is half the fun of going there. From Mickey Mouse-shaped ice cream bars to turkey legs as big as your head, they’ve got it all.

For vegans, however, dining in Disney World was much less fun… until October 2019, that is! That’s when Disney World added more than 400 new vegan items to their menus.

Now nearly every eatery in Disney World has vegan options. And we’re not just talking about salads and French fries. No, these are dishes that vegans will actually want to eat.

Of course, 400 is no small number, so there’s bound to be some culinary misfires here and there. To help you avoid them, we put together a list of some of the most popular and delicious vegan dishes in Disney World.

Making this list was no easy task, both because of the sheer amount of options and because we kept getting hungry. Not that we’re complaining, though!

Anyway, without further ado, here are the dishes vegans need to try on their next trip to Disney World.

 

Magic Kingdom Park

Loaded Slaw Dog – Casey’s Corner

What better place to start our culinary journey through Disney World than Main Street, U.S.A., the iconic entrance to Magic Kingdom Park? It’s there that you can get your hands on the Loaded Slaw Dog at Casey’s Corner, a ballpark-themed, quick-service restaurant.

This vegan take on a hot dog features a flavorful plant-based sausage cradled by a pillowy potato bun. It’s topped with pickled slaw; barbecue vegan aioli, which you should ask for extra of; and roasted corn relish.

For about $12, it comes with a side of French fries or apple slices. If you’re feeling adventurous, get the apple slices and top your dog with some of them. We’re not promising that it’ll be good, mind you, but we’ve got a hunch.

 

Revolutionary Meatloaf – Liberty Tree Tavern

The name of this next dish, Revolutionary Meatloaf, works on two levels. One, it’s served at Liberty Tree Tavern, a casual, sit-down restaurant with a colonial theme. Two, it’s made with plant-based meat but tastes just like the real thing. Revolutionary, indeed!

The meatloaf comes topped with a few ladles of rich mushroom gravy, which adds flavor and helps keep the meatloaf moist. It’s flanked by buttery mashed potatoes and a medley of hearty garden vegetables. The portions are generous, so come hungry.

 

Plant-based Ice Cream with Peanut Butter Sauce – Plaza Ice Cream Parlor

Like Casey’s Corner, the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor is another Main Street mainstay. There, vegans can enjoy their choice of either Tofutti or Rice Dream ice cream.

If you’re out of the loop when it comes to plant-based ice cream options, Tofutti is made from soy. Rice Dream is made from, well, rice.

Peanut butter sauce is available as a vegan-friendly topping because, let’s face it, what’s ice cream without toppings? Other toppings may be available too; just ask.

Oh, and heads up: The cones there are supposedly not vegan, so you’re probably going to have to go with a cup.

 

Epcot

Vegan Jackfruit Gyro – Sunshine Seasons

Finding time for a sit-down meal during a Walt Disney World vacation isn’t easy. Sometimes you’ve just got to eat on the go. That’s where the Vegan Jackfruit Gyro from Sunshine Seasons comes in.

The Vegan Jackfruit Gyro is a grab-and-go sandwich brimming with savory pulled jackfruit and fresh veggies. A cup of vegan tzatziki sauce comes on the side. If you need something to eat but are short on time, this gyro is the way to go.

Also, a word to the wise: Check the date on the gyro. Obviously it’s best if it was made on the same day. Any older than that and it’s not going to taste its freshest.

 

Bangers and Mash – Rose & Crown Dining Room

Fancy yourself an Anglophile? If so, take your taste buds on a trip across the pond with the vegan bangers and mash at the Rose & Crown Dining Room.

Just like the Rose & Crown is a spot-on imitation of a traditional British pub, the vegan bangers and mash is a spot-on imitation of the real thing. It features two brat-flavored Beyond Sausages perched on pile of mashed potatoes. The whole thing is topped with mushrooms, pearl onions, and gravy. Wash it down with a tall glass of dark beer for the full English experience.

 

Frushi – Hanami

What do you get when you cross fruit with sushi? Frushi, of course!

Frushi puts a sweet spin on sushi by replacing the usual ingredients with stuff like coconut rice, pineapple, cantaloupe, and strawberries. It looks as good as it tastes too, making it the perfect dish to post on Instagram or Snapchat to your friends. To make it vegan, just order it without whipped cream.

In the past, Frushi has only been available during the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival, which takes place in the spring. This could always change, though, so keep an eye out when you’re passing through Epcot’s Japan Pavilion.

 

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

“Totchos” – Woody’s Lunch Box

Like Frushi, “Totchos” turns two dishes into one. Namely, tater tots and nachos.

Totchos starts off with a bed of crispy tater tots, which are cutely called “potato barrels” at the Toy Story-themed eatery Woody’s Lunch Box. The tots are then topped with nacho ingredients, including chili, cheese, queso, tomatoes, and corn chips. Sour cream and green onions provide the finishing touch.

Keep in mind that, by default, Totchos are not vegan. But it’s easy to make them vegan! Just get them with vegan chili and vegan cheese, and skip the sour cream.

 

Felucian Kefta and Hummus Garden Spread – Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the Star Wars-themed section of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, is one of the most immersive experiences Disney World has to offer. And that includes the food.

Luckily, vegan food exists in the Star Wars universe. Not only that, it’s pretty good. Case and point: the Felucian Kefta and Hummus Garden Spread at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo.

This out-of-this-world dish combines plant-based meatballs, herb hummus, tomato-cucumber relish, and some pita on the side to pick it all up with.

 

Blue Milk, Green Milk – Milk Stand

Some of the things people were most excited for at Galaxy’s Edge included the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run ride, build-your-own lightsabers and droids, and… milk?

Yes, milk. But not just any old cow’s milk, mind you. We’re talking about the Blue and Green Milks available at the Milk Stand in Galaxy’s Edge.

In the Star Wars universe, Blue Milk and Green Milk comes from the alien species banthas and thala-sirens, respectively. On Earth, they’re plant-based beverages made from a mix of coconut and rice milk. Alcoholic versions are available too, in case you’re looking to catch a buzz.

 

Polenta Cake, Mushroom, and Herb Cauliflower – Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano

If you’re in the mood for a nice sit-down meal while in Hollywood Studios, look no further than Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano. That’s where you find this particularly hearty vegan entrée: Polenta Cake, Mushroom, and Herb Cauliflower.

Equal parts filling and flavorful, a polenta cake and cauliflower steak serve as the base of this dish. They’re topped with a medley of sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and red peppers, along with a creamy cashew-cheese sauce. Mangia!

 

Cookie Shake – Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

The Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant offers one of the most whimsical dining experiences in Disney World, bar none. Diners eat in booths that look like ‘50s convertibles while old sci-fi movie clips play on the big screen and servers dressed as carhops zip around on roller skates.

That’s why it’s a shame that the food there is only just okay.

One menu item at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater that has gotten rave reviews, however, is the Cookie Shake. And it just so happens to be vegan! It’s made with non-dairy milk and cookies, and, at about $7, doesn’t come cheap but is worth every penny.

 

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park

Sicilian-style Pizza Slice – Pizzafari

Located in the wild, untamed heart of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Pizzafari is a quick-service restaurant specializing in; yep, you guessed it; pizza. Options range from an artisan shrimp flatbread to tried-and-true pepperoni.

For vegans, they’ve got the Sicilian-style Pizza Slice. This square-shaped slice of pie is topped with plant-based, spicy sausage crumbles; plant-based cheese; and tangy crushed tomato sauce. It costs around $11 and comes with a side salad.

 

Roasted Vegetable Bowl – Harambe Market

If the name “Roasted Vegetable Bowl” doesn’t pique your interest, we don’t blame you. In a place where sushi is made out of fruit and milk comes in otherworldly colors, a bowl of roasted vegetables seems even more boring than usual.

Make no mistake, though: The Roasted Vegetable Bowl from Harambe Market is anything but boring. In fact, it’s downright delicious.

The vegetables in the dish, which include sweet potato, zucchini, and cauliflower, have a nice spice to them, which is tapered by cilantro rice and salsa. And, like the Sicilian slice at Pizzafari, the Roasted Vegetable Bowl comes with a side salad.

 

Chili-Spiced Crispy Fried Tofu Bowl – Satu’li Canteen

Up until the opening of Galaxy’s Edge in 2019, Pandora – The World of Avatar was the newest addition to Disney World. It opened in 2017 after many years of development and construction.

Inspired by the blockbuster movie Avatar, Pandora is home to two themed eateries: Pongu Pongu, a drink stand, and Satu’li Canteen, a fast-casual restaurant.

With a menu based around build-your-own bowls, customization is the name of the game at Satu’li Canteen. That is, unless you’re vegan. Then you’ve got only one kind of bowl to choose from, albeit a tasty one.

The vegan option at Satu’li Canteen is the Chili-Spiced Crispy Fried Tofu Bowl, which, in addition to fried tofu, features vegetable slaw, boba balls, and your choice of a base and sauce.

 

To Infinity and Beyond (the Parks)

Maple-Chipotle Barbecue-braised Jackfruit Dip – Whispering Canyon Cafe

Let’s venture outside of the parks, shall we? Because, really, there’s just as much fun to be had elsewhere in Disney World.

Our first stop outside of the parks is the Old West-themed Whispering Canyon Cafe in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. There, vegan diners can dig into an appetizer that’s as creative as it is delicious: Maple-Chipotle Barbecue-braised Jackfruit Dip.

Jackfruit serves as the base of the dip. To make it look and taste like pulled pork, the starchy fruit is shredded and braised in barbecue sauce. On top is melted, plant-based Pepper Jack cheese and jalapenos. And on the side, tortilla chips for dipping.

 

Beer-battered Onion Rings – Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant

Nothing hits the spot quite like a well-made onion ring. Vegan onion rings can be hard to come by, though. But sure enough, Disney’s got ‘em.

One place you can get your hungry hands on some vegan onion rings is Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant. Raglan Road is a traditional Irish pub that brings a taste of Celtic cuisine to Disney Springs, an outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment complex in Disney World.

Note that the vegan version of Raglan Road’s beer-battered onion rings isn’t on the menu, so you’ll have to ask for them specifically. They can also be made gluten-free on request.

 

Blaze Pizza

If you’re not yet familiar with Blaze Pizza, you will be soon. This pizza chain is taking the world of fast-casual dining by storm. LeBron James himself invested in the chain back when it started in 2011.

At Blaze Pizza in Disney Springs, patrons make their way down the assembly line, creating their own custom pizza by choosing from a variety of toppings. It’s like Chipotle, only with pizza!

The pizza is then cooked in three minutes flat, thanks to Blaze Pizza’s state-of-the-art ovens and skilled “pizzasmiths.”

Vegan topping options at Blaze Pizza include vegan cheese; vegan spicy chorizo; and, of course, plenty of veggies. Gluten-free crust is also available.

 

Pineapple Float

Ah, the Pineapple Float. Truly one of the most quintessential, and refreshing, Disney treats. Nothing beats the Florida heat quite like it.

As the name implies, a Pineapple Float is a mashup of pineapple Dole Whip soft serve and Dole pineapple juice. Vanilla and swirl varieties of Dole Whip are available too but, unfortunately, are not vegan.

You can find Pineapple Floats all over Disney World, including at Aloha Isle in the Adventureland section of Magic Kingdom and at the Pineapple Lanai stand in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

 

Mickey Pretzels, Mickey Waffles

Last on our list are two iconic Mickey Mouse-shaped foods: Mickey pretzels and Mickey waffles. After all, what’s a Walt Disney World vacation without eating something shaped like the big cheese himself?

Vegan Mickey Mouse fans will be glad to hear that Mickey pretzels are vegan by default. Mickey waffles, on the other hand, are not, but can be made vegan on request.

As for where you can find either of these foods? Pretty much anywhere, both inside and outside the parks.

 

So there you have it: our list of some of the best vegan dishes Disney World has to offer. Keep in mind that the information here could be subject to change, so it’s always best to confirm with a cast member that a dish is, indeed, vegan.
