Easy Dining for Vegetarians
Disney World is one of the easiest vacation destinations for vegetarians to enjoy a fantastic meal. Visitors can expect exceptional Disney hospitality, with vegetarian dishes available at nearly every dining location. Regardless of your budget or cravings, you will find mouthwatering options throughout the theme parks and resorts.
In October 2015, Disney World released their Top 10 Vegetarian Meals to honor vegetarian awareness month. Although this list is just a glimpse of the diverse offerings available, it certainly illustrates the abundance of delicious choices.
Whether you are looking for a quick bite or prefer a sit-down dining experience, you will discover enticing vegetarian menu items throughout Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios.
Dining Tips at Disney World
- Almost every table service restaurant features a vegetarian entrée. Some places will have a wider selection, so checking individual park listings can help you make informed choices.
