Plant-based options are launching all over the Disney parks, and now there’s a kids’ option on Batuu in Disney World!

Disney World is diving headfirst into the world of plant-based cuisine and that means a lot more options for vegetarian and vegan guests. Earlier this month we reported on the brand new plant-based logo and plant-based Mickey Waffles and now Star Wars: Galaxy Edge has joined in on the initiative!
Today, we found a new kids’ menu item at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo called “Meat” Marinara and Pasta. This entree is made with Impossible Meat (a plant-based meat substitute that is super popular right now) in the marinara sauce. And we have to say, it does fit the look of the food of Batuu.
“Meat” Marinara and Pasta
The price for this meal is $8.99, a dollar cheaper than the Fried Chicken kids’ meal and the portion seems great for those with smaller appetites.

Meat substitutes can definitely be hit-or-miss, but we really enjoyed the Impossible Meat. The texture of the sauce is was very close to a meat-like texture, so we feel like kiddos should still find it pretty tasty.
“Meat” Marinara and Pasta
As for the flavor of the sauce, it’s definitely on the milder side. It’s not overly sweet and there’s no spice really at all. If your kiddo likes something with a punch of flavor, this might not be the meal for them. However, some kiddo like more mild foods, so the marinara could be a good option for those picky eaters!

This dish probably wouldn’t hold up too well as an adult entree with the softer flavor, but it definitely makes for a hearty kids’ meal!

While the new plant-based options are terrific for vegetarians and vegans, I suspect that Disney, like most major businesses, is targeting flexitarians. These people are veg a large part of the time, but not exclusively. According to Vegetarian Resource Group polls, 46% of diners sometimes or always choose plant-based options when dining out (https://www.vrg.org/nutshell/Polls/2019_adults_veg.htm). That compares to only about 5% that are truly vegetarian or vegan. Flexitarians and meat reducers are driving the growth in plant-based foods.
Disney’s new dishes are also a great opportunity for anyone veg-curious to try plant-based foods easily.
Thanks, Caryn!
The Impossible Burger “meat” is made of soy protein. And it is higher in fat than real meat.
