PETA’s Definitive Guide to Vegan Food at Disneyland

We love a Disneyland pickle just as much as the next vegan, but the happiest place on Earth is a treasure trove of animal-free foods just waiting to be discovered, especially since the entertainment complex has announced more than 400 new vegan items, including some at every single restaurant. You can dine like a prince or princess all day (or week) long. Disney is making it easy to find them: Just look for the green leaf logo at any eatery.

Here are a few of our favorites whether you’re channeling your inner astronaut at Space Mountain or hunting for treasure with the Pirates of the Caribbean.

• Starfield of Greens Salad: Ask for vegan cheese.

(Tip: Daiya vegan cheese can be added to any pasta.)
