As a local I’ve definitely noticed that especially after re-opening the default “plant based” option is impossible burger with avacado or jackfruit and some kind of sauce….
Backlot express hasn’t had vegi sandwich in a while their plant based option was a hummus and vegetable plate up until a few weeks ago when they added a tofu bowl same with Rosie’s it’s now a plant based lobster roll I believe
Absolutely this! I’ve gotten some lovely meals that way in the past. Sometimes I’ve asked to just have the meat omitted from something, and they’ve been able to do it.
If you had time to do springs before your first park day you could always pick up some items at erin McKenna at springs those are vegan/gf
That's a good reminder, we will at least have those items. We always prioritize going to downtown Disney our first day and that's one of the reasons. I'm hoping that not having a cooler with us on this trip isn't going to cause a problem.
I love the This Shepard Went Vegan Shepard’s pie at Raglan Road in Disney Springs. It’s vegetable based with no fake meats (unlike the Shepard’s pie at Rose & Crown in EPCOT).
If you want something for breakfast that isn't popcorn or fruit (if you can find fruit), then your best bet is having breakfast food in the room.
Yeah, I'm super annoyed at what they have done with the combination of QS hours and park hours. Last Spring at the Poly they were technically opening Captain cooks at 7AM- but they didn't take allergy orders until 7:30. And then, they weren't staffing the register to push people to do mobile orders, so it might take 15+ minutes to order. We gave up RD at Animal kingdom before even trying, but by the time we could just get a side order of bacon for my son people had been in the parks for an hour already!
Perhaps someone does know this, however, I've found no evidence of it in 2 recent trips.
We have been seriously considering those afternoon strategies. It's such a change after years of go-go-go in the mornings then relaxing after lunch, but I don't know Disney wants to accommodate our morning style anymore. This might be the end of our regular room stays in lieu of DVC 1 bedrooms for the kitchen. I really like breakfast these days. Thinking about skipping it makes me crabby.
I hear you. I, too, prefer to have a real breakfast.
It almost gives me more anxiety thinking about having to worry what times we will get.
You will figure it out, and the main thing to remember is that you're there to have a good time, not to schedule things. And if most of your group doesn't mind standing in line, then that's helpful as well. Also, lines tend to be much shorter closer to park closing--this is true of all the parks. So if you don't mind staying up later, you can do that.
I am, but to be fair it's my immediate family and my little brother's family and we all know I'm going to worry over it and make all these little plans whether or not anyone else tries to do it too... so it's ok. They are also on a first trip with two little pre-school girls, so I've been planning out ways to streamline days if we are together, or outlines of tips if we need to split up. I'm mostly utilizing things from helpful bloggers for simplicity, like I made minor alterations to the maps Josh @ easywdw made to update changes so I can hand them a color coded "try this if you get overwhelmed." I even highlighted things I know their girls will want to see. I really want to feel like I at least set them up to have higher chances of a great trip. They are pretty laid back so it should go well and it would be a dream to have a family to sometimes vacation with.
I am here to assure you that everything will work out. Believe that it will. Use my belief if you need to!
