It’s no secret that veganism and other specialty diets have gained popularity in recent years. Whether for health reasons, ethical considerations, or some combination of the two, countless Americans have adopted new dietary habits – many of which prohibit the consumption of animal products. With the rise of veganism has come a shift toward vegan-friendly options at eateries and attractions nationwide. Disney is the latest company to capitalize on veganism, which will surely delight health-conscious visitors.

The parks house a combined total of more than 600 restaurants, food stalls, and other dining locales that offer ample space for introducing change.
