I love that you carried your leftover bag around the park 😂 that’s what I would do too. We love being non-wasteful

[@freyawyttthegoddessandchip7764]

Edit out the misused big terms love and krystal that only reflect me - hmnz also cannot misuse big terms/names like lady and Mer / Lee etc (that only reflect me) in their name or about hmnz!

Wow I never thought of this

[@DamianaGrande]

@@kelsey2333 it’s addicting lol

[@fairyscience]

Tomorrowland isn’t a Star Wars themed area, it’s meant to be just futuristic and kinda sci-fi themed which is why there are Star Wars attractions there from before Galaxy’s Edge opened 😊 they won’t merge the two though since there are other rides & attractions there that aren’t connected to Star Wars!

[@vegancam]

Well that and Galaxy's Edge is way over the other side of the park. They were never intended to be merged. I really did love HyperSpace Mountain and the Gonk droids in Tomorrowland though.

[@johnsmi213]

But they could move Star Tours to Galaxy's Edge. I guess Galactic Grill isn't necessarily Star Wars themed but maybe it is given they sold Darth by Chocolate, etc.

@4:54 The vegetable baozi (包子) is not vegan: if you check the list of ingredients, the dough contains dairy. This has been a public service announcement from a random vegan youtuber.

[@tracymata4796]

ugh thank you so much!! I saw that bao on there, and when I was vegetarian I loved it! But since going vegan, I thought I had heard the bun itself contains dairy, but I couldn't find verification for that. When I saw it here, it got my hopes up for a second that it might be vegan. So thank you for clarifying. But I'm sad it's not vegan. :(

[@markgosen]

I have no idea how you went on a rollercoaster after eating so much food, you definitely enjoy living dangerously 😂

[@abbypayne4496]

Definitely do a part 2 and do drinks and sweets this time!! And then a part 3 and 4 for California Adventure. Bonus part 5 for Downtown Disney?

[@adrianibarra8758]

damn abby! anything else???

[@artemisr.2357]

Yesss definitely downtown disney. The vegan red velvet cupcake is amazing at the cupcake store

[@llamaliza6886]

Downtown Disney has some surprisingly good food! I was so shocked to find good food in Disneyland, I just thought it would be like overpriced stadium food.

[@sk5835]

I wish I could go back in time and tell you to eat the ronto-less roaster last, because it's one of the best items at either park, vegan or not. Everything else is going to pale in comparison.

[@MerleONeal]

You're not wrong

[@piercingstorms]

Also if you can make it to Red Rose Tavern for breakfast, their quinoa bowl is delicious!! If you do DCA, go to Lamplight lounge for their vegan options - some of the best in DCA!

[@Burningtreeblood]

Ex-wife surprised me and our daughter wit a trip to Disneyland. THANK YOU!! You made it just the size of my sceen for a sceeenshot. Now I can just check the list and I know where I can go and what I can get 💕

[@SadbhW]

You guys are awesome for still doing family holidays together!

[@t4jes]

Ronto-less wrap is the best. I tried it before i went plant-based and it’s better than the original version!

[@briannalucente2478]

Next time instead of the cauliflower tacos, try getting the cauliflower in the tostada bowl! So good and might be that little thing you're missing from that meal :)

[@MerleONeal]

Thanks for the tip!

[@gab22233]

wow, the vegan options at Universal Orlando are SOOO much better. You should do a video there, the options are endless and seem way yummier!

[@nateskool]

I'm so sad because right before COVID forced the parks to close, they were planning to bring at least one plant-based option at every restaurant. I worked there for 6 years up until March and since coming back to reopen the parks last April (2021), they got rid of so many options for vegans backstage, despite me begging basically every shift and they of course wouldn't let us eat the food guests got. A whole year of not having a guaranteed meal sucked lol (they sometimes had vegan weekly specials, but often ran out).

[@alainadacosta1222]

I haven't been to an amusement park or Disney for ages so this was so fun even hearing the music and action. I also appreciated that you included the prices. That Ronto-less wrap looks really good

[@mz3princess148]

Merle!! I am living for this content! You’re pretty much the only vegan KZbinr I watch. I made your tofu chicken today and it was amazing! My meat eating family gave it a 8/10!! They were so impressed

[@MerleONeal]

OMG i'm so glad you liked it!!!!

[@TC-bd3oi]

Thank you for the reviews! I tried the Bronto-Less wrap and the dole whip today. Amazing! Would have never found them without you!!

Hey y'all This one was fun. Are there any Disney recipes you'd like me to try to re-create? LMK!

[@benconover2227]

Went to Disneyland YEARS ago and there wasn’t nearly as much (that I could find). I did however have that gumbo, and I’ve been thinking about it non stop ever since.

[@DamianaGrande]

When I worked there all I ate were fries, bread, and those cauliflower tacos on occasion. I’m OBSESSED with all of her finds.

[@yaz-mc8zv]

if you like to cook there’s a copycat recipe for it. my dad used to make it all the time when i was younger cuz me and my whole family loved it so much! if ur interested i can try to find the recipe link :)

[@JA99]

This was great and I love when you do the comparison videos too! Just like in those videos, I think people are more interested in hearing your take on the taste rather than the price. I think it's safe to say anyone who goes to Disney knows they're going to spend an arm and a leg on anything, including food!!!

[@queenbee786]

"Dry ass falafel" dude you need to get some good Falafel from a real middle eastern place. It's delicious

[@deceaseblade]

ye they are, but at most places you get some sort of very dry falafel :( I always thought I don't like Falafel, until I ate good one and I loved them.

[@tracymata4796]

That's funny. My impression of falafel has always been that it is dry as well. But I'm open to trying the authentic stuff, because I have heard from others that it is supposed to be more moist.

[@deceaseblade]

@@tracymata4796 try to find a place that focuses on these kind of dishes or google good Falafel places in your city. They are actually moist and very flavourful freshly made :3

Yesss it definitely adds up 🤑

[@emdegn1904]

I freaking love this!! I grew up going to Disneyland every year, sometimes more (my dad got veteran discounts and my family all lives locally), so this gave me so much nostalgia! I LOVE THE DOLE WHIP, and we always got dinner at Rancho! I think for pt. 2 you should try: a rice bowl from Rancho (you can get rice, beans, the veggies, and whatever else you want- SO good), the white bean hummus from Cafe Orleans (comes with pickled veg), vegan Mickey Waffles (they're allergen, and you can get them at Carnation Cafe), BBQ tofu from Riverbelle Terrace (get it with their vegan chopped salad), rice bowl from Bengal (this is essentially just ordering rice, pineapple skewers, the veggies again if you want, and the citrus slaw!), popcorn (there are so many flavors at this place in Star Wars Land but I haven't tried it- that land wasn't a thing when we went haha), cinnamon crisps from Rancho, impossible wrap from Royal Street Veranda, chocolate covered frozen bananas from the vendors, Mickey Pretzels from the vendors (hold the cheese- it's great dipped in hummus from the vendors around though), and the CANDY at the shops!! I wrote a vegan guide to Disneyland for the magazine I work for, if that's helpful to you: www.peacefuldumpling.com/travel-guide-to-disneyland-vegan-food-best-rides
