Disney Parks Introducing Vegan Dining Options

The vast array of dishes served throughout all Disney Parks is about to get even bigger, and a whole lot more vegan. Disney announced this week that it is preparing to bring hundreds of plant-based dishes to all of the restaurants and quick service eateries in its various locations. This will include main savory dishes, sweet desserts, and even snacks. Like the current menu at the parks, a lot of the dishes will be connected to the sections of the specific park they're located in.

The full plant-based menu is expected to roll out in Spring 2020, bringing these options to each and every place food can be purchased in the parks. There will also be a new plant-based icon on the menus, noting which items are part of the rollout.

On October 1st, quick service locations in Walt Disney World Resort will begin getting these items, along with the icon on the menus. Table service restaurants in Disney World will follow suit on October 3rd.

Along with the announcement, Disney released the descriptions of a few of the items coming soon to menus.
