food IS a theme park
When it comes to Disney, there are TONS of snack options to choose from.
Welcome to Walt Disney World!
We review lots of snacks here at DFB on a daily basis. When it comes to plant-based options for our vegetarian and vegan friends, it sometimes feels like the options are limited. So, we decided to check out and review some plant-based snacks we found around Walt Disney World, and now we need to tell you what we really think of them.
When it comes to classic quick-service locations in Disney World, it doesn’t get much more iconic than Casey’s Corner.
Casey’s Corner
In fact, DFB readers recently voted it as the BEST quick-service spot in Disney World, so we guess y’all really like those Corn Dog Nuggets, too (with that plastic cheese, of course). But Casey’s offers up some standard hotdogs, too, including a few plant-based options. We’re trying one of those NEW plant-based options now…and well, we have some thoughts.
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’s Animal Kingdom, especially with a little advanced planning.
Plant Based Sausage
For starters, in October 2019, Disney announced that every major table and counter service restaurant in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort would offer plant-based options! You will find menus with plant-based options that are available throughout Walt Disney World, these items “are made with no animal meat, dairy, eggs or honey. They are made with ingredients that come from plants, including grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and legumes.”
Walt Disney World can be EXPENSIVE. Surprising…I know! 😉 Depending on how you plan, that price tag can skyrocket. We’ve shared lots of tips on how to save money on your Disney vacation, but there are some unavoidable expenses that you’ll run into along the way.
How much does WDW food really cost?
Once you’re at Disney World, you’ll probably be eating all of your meals there. Avoid sticker shock by looking at menus before you arrive! Disney has over 400 restaurants to choose from and there’s a pretty big variety of options and costs.
Disney dining can be pricey!
Price increases continue to impact a lot of food options throughout the restaurants at Walt Disney World. (In early 2022, we saw HUNDREDS (literally, hundreds) of price increases impact restaurants and snack spots throughout Disney World. Popcorn refills & popcorn buckets, DOLE Whip floats, Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bars, Mickey waffles, alcoholic drinks, and MORE all went up in price.)

Disney World is a food lover’s paradise. Across all four parks you’ll find a variety of cuisine to keep you munching from dawn till dusk!
Cinderella Castle!
In recent years, Disney has become much more accommodating to those with dietary restrictions, so they too can enjoy the wonderful food the parks have to offer. This includes many plant-based dishes!
The Hershey Company’s roots date all the way back to 1894, with their first chocolate bar product being sold in 1900. With close to 135 years of chocolate-making history, Hershey’s became responsible for some of the beloved candy we know today

The company has been responsible for the creation or acquisition of Reese’s, York Peppermint Patties, Twizzlers, the classic Hershey’s Kiss, and so many other candies. Yet, they’ve missed out on one big market…that is, until today.
