Plant-Based Dining (Parks and Resorts)

Hey, all. For those of you who ever order plant-based at Disney World, this is a thread for us to discuss favorites, not-so-favorites, report item swaps, etc.

Very curious to hear from others about their favorites and menu items they'd recommend trying.

One item I really liked a year ago was the Plant-Based Wellington at Steakhouse 71, but in February I thought it was just okay. Anyone else have a take on that? I figure I'll try it again, in case February was a one-off situation, because I really liked it last April. So, for now it isn't on one my lists.

I haven't been quite everywhere yet (okay, there are a lot of places I haven't been, but I'm hoping to rectify that somewhat over the next 3 visits this year), so these lists are very incomplete. In fact, more so than I expected when I first started drawing it up. I am leaving out anything that I thought was just okay or, you know, that I am forgetting about just now, along with the endless fake meat skillets at Garden Grill, Sebastian's Bistro, etc.; I like these items, but the sameness and ubiquity of them really hurts variety. There's only so many Beyond Sausages and the like that I want to eat in one week. I'm also somewhat limited by always dining with an extremely choosy 7 year-old vegan who basically only wants vegan burgers, hot dogs, tenders, and fries, so I've skipped a few venues on multiple occasions that I really want to try, but where I can't get him anything he'll eat.

Favorites

• Dole Whip! (obviously)

• Breakfast Scramble with Mushrooms and Spinach at Crystal Palace. The frittata is pretty good, too, but no server has ever known what I was talking about (I had to request the chef); it's on the paper menu at the restaurant and not at the buffet.

• Chili-Spiced Crispy Fried Tofu Bowl at Satu'li Canteen

• D-Luxe Plant-Based Burger and fries (all-time favorite fries)

• Vegetable Breakfast Quesadilla at various value and moderate resorts (totally clutch breakfast item)

• Onion rings at Steakhouse 71 (not super-special, but less common to find onion rings with a vegan batter)

• Southern Style Fried “Hen” at Cítricos (a little salty, but I'm here for it)

• Tofu Power Bowl at Grand Floridian Café (good brunch option whether staying at VGF or PVB)

• Plant-Based Beignets at Scat Cat's Club

• Triple Suns Breakfast Wrap at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo

Not-So-Favorites

• Plant-Based Cheese Pizza at Pinocchio Village Haus

• Impossible Burnt Ends at Flame Tree Barbecue (it's just ground Impossible in an okay sauce; they could do so much better)

• Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut at multiple locations (I may be in the minority here, or just spoiled by Dun-Well Donuts in Brooklyn and Donut Friend in L.A., but these donuts are mediocre)

• Cookie Fries with Dipping Sauce at Beaches & Cream (the texture is so off)

What do you think?
