In response to the increasing popularity of vegan and plant-based diets across United States households, Disney has announced that animal-free food options will soon roll out across Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort in the U.S.
Overall, Disney parks will feature 400 plant-based menu items and dishes that range from sweet and savory.
They include steamed Asian dumplings at Epcot’s Le Cellier — “plant-based meat dumplings” served with bok choy, Chinese long beans, red peppers and radish in an Asian broth — and a garden plate with meat-free kafta, hummus and pita at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
For dessert, vegans can satisfy their sweet tooth at Disney’s Contemporary Resort’s California Grill, which serves plant-based cashew cheesecake.
The new plant-based menu items will roll out across the parks in 2020.
Disney parks in Paris, Hong Kong and Shanghai offer limited vegan options, but include risotto-style spelt with mushrooms, pan-fried vegetables, plant-based dumplings and caramel mix nuts banana cake. RGA/NVG
