Disney World, Disneyland introducing hundreds of plant-based dishes

Plant-based food options will be growing at all major quick and table service restaurants at Walt Disney World starting in October and at Disneyland in spring 2020.

Disney is also introducing a new menu icon – a green leaf – to help guests identify these meals.

All menu items with the green leaf will show that the food item was made from plant-based ingredients like vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes – and are made without animal meat, dairy, eggs or honey.

The menu changes at Disney World will take place Oct. 1, 2019, at quick service locations and on Oct. 3, 2019, at table service locations.

In addition to the menu icon, Disney World all be introducing new options at the theme parks and resort hotels.
