Disney World, Disneyland going plant-based: Park shares preview of the 'hundreds' of dishes added to menus
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Not crazy about the pork-filled Ronto Wraps at Galaxy’s Edge, or even the buttercream-topped “bloody” wedding cake at the Haunted Mansion? Then perhaps the Disney Parks can entice you with the hundreds of plant-based menu options coming to parks in the near future.
On Monday, the Disney Parks Blog announced that all of the “major” quick- and table-service restaurants at Disney World and Disneyland will soon be adding plant-based options to their menus, along with a new plant-based “icon” to help guests identify the meat-free, dairy-free, honey-free and egg-free dishes.
Options will include both savory and sweet offerings, Disney Parks confirmed. A new icon signifying which dishes are plant-based will be added to menus, as well. (Disney Parks Blog)

Starting in October, Disney World will begin offering its plant-based options at quick-service eateries (Oct. 1) and table-service restaurants (Oct. 3.) In total, between existing plant-based options and new offerings, Disney Parks has said there will be 400 options in total at Disney World alone.
