16 of the Best Vegetarian Options at Disney World

For those who follow a special diet, it can sometimes be a concern not knowing if there will be enough to eat when planning a trip. If you are vegetarian and planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, you can rest easy. Disney is one of the best places on earth to satisfy special diet needs. With over 140 restaurants to choose from, it can get overwhelming, so we've put together a list of some of the best vegetarian options at Disney World, by restaurant (dinner options, quick service and table service), to make your planning a little easier. There are many other choices outside of this list, so be sure to tell us your favorites, too!

Note that menus change quite often and are sometimes seasonal, so always check the menus we link to for the most up-to-date info. Another tip: let your server know about your preferences! Depending on the restaurant, there may be a separate vegetarian menu or the chef may come out to speak with you to point out what's vegetarian and what's not. They may also have options not on the menu.

Skipper Canteen (Magic Kingdom, Table Service) // If you're a fan of the Jungle Cruise attraction, then you'll enjoy dining with the Skippers at this spot that has some of the best vegetarian options at Disney World to choose from. Dishes you must try: Shiriki Noodle Salad, Falls Family Falafel, and Curried Vegetable Crew Stew.

Tusker House (Animal Kingdom, Table Service Buffet) // Pretty much all of the restaurants in the Animal Kingdom area have solid vegetarian options, and Tusker House one of those on that list. Note that this is a character dining restaurant, so expect Mickey and friends to pay you a visit while you dine. Dishes you must try: Black Eyed Pea Salad, Samosas, and Spiced Vegetable Tofu.

Sunshine Seasons (Epcot, Quick Service) // You'll find this restaurant in Epcot's Land Pavilion. They offer many different types of foods and a huge list of desserts to choose from. Dishes to try: Vegan Flatbread and the Vegan Korma with Meatless Chik'n.

Backlot Express (Hollywood Studios, Quick Service) // Backlot Express isn't heavily themed with Star Wars, but some of the dishes and desserts give a nod to the franchise, so this may be a fun spot if you are a Star Wars fan. Dish to try: Caprese Sandwich.

Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza (Disney Springs, Quick Service) // Everyone loves pizza, especially when it's made especially for you! You get to choose exactly what you want your pie to be topped with (tons of veggies to choose from, there's even gluten free dough and vegan cheese!) and then it's fast-fired and appears at your table before you know it. We think it's one of the quickest and best vegetarian options at Disney World. Tip: Once you finish your pizza, head on over to Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC for dessert (it's one of our favorite spots at Disney Springs!) Dishes to try: Build Your Own Pizza or the Veg Out Pizza.

Those are just some of our picks, and we wish we could list them all! Since we can't, tell us: what are your picks for the best vegetarian options at Disney World?
