By Kim LaPaglia Leave a Comment

DFB is all about the FOOD at Walt Disney World. ALL kinds of Disney food. And that means making sure that families with special dietary concerns (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.) have the information they need to create safe and delicious meal plans for their vacation.

Have you wondered about vegan dining in Walt Disney World? We’re happy to share — vegans CAN eat well at Disney Springs, especially with a little advanced planning.

Look for vegan menu items!
