Vegetarian Disney World On A Budget!

[@amandaatwood4296]

Yes!!!! I have been waiting for this video! Thank you!!

[@rebeccaspath9056]

My husband is a vegetarian and I’m a pescatarian. I got the tacos with fried spicy cauliflower at Pecos Bill’s and they were AMAZING! We went back a second day because we couldn’t get enough!

[@mrsmagicalmonica]

Rebecca Morrison I’m so in love with Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale Inn! It has the most bang for my vegetarian buck! Haven’t tried the fries spicy cauliflower yet. Hopefully, I’ll get it this September.

[@rebeccaspath9056]

Mrs. Magical Monica Yes, you won’t regret it! They had just the fried spicy cauliflower as a snack type item at the Golden Oak Outpost :-) Enjoy your September trip!

[@emiliesmith8671]

I'm not a vegetarian but I'm glad you are providing this resource for those who are. That is what is great about your channel, that you provide great information for lots of different groups of people.

[@JenLefforge]

Thank you, Emilie!

[@jeannettebrown1414]

I’m so happy you exist! I’m lacto-ovo and we’re taking our first trip in June! I’m so confused on what to eat! Thank you

[@jcarey1357]

It’s either veggies or chicken for me... I’ve always been a veggie burger kinda guy! Love all your food choices especially a hummus lover :) thanks for the tips Jen!

[@JenLefforge]

You bet, John!! You have LOTS of trips in your future (like at least 50 of them??) so you need the recommendations.😍

[@wdwmommykim]

I'm at Disney World right now, and I'm attempting to stay keto and do only counter service meals. I used to really love that lighthouse sandwich at CHH, though--so good!

[@Ashleew]

My family is vegetarian and we loved 50s Prime time cafe. Best meal i had at Disney. Their blue plate special was a kale and mushroom ragu and it was just amazing. Server said it is getting added permanently to the menu- it had so much flavor. My kids said their Mac and cheese was the best ever, and they eat a lot!

[@JenLefforge]

Yeah, I like Disney mac and cheese A LOT (maybe too much;) and I am going to have to try that dish at 50's FOR SURE. Sounds amazing!

[@evanp5911]

It’s like you read my mind, I’m doing a whole extended family trip to Disney world next year and my sister in law is a vegetarian. Great starting off point for eating

[@JenLefforge]

Evan I’m so glad! I’ve also had several people mention the cauliflower tacos at Pecos Bill and that’s definitely on my list for next time!

[@atropos0754]

Trattoria al Forno chef was extremely accommodating to my vegetarian daughter . They took away the scallops and added extra ravioli .🤓

[@cindyellacott102]

You can tell you actually eat vegetarian. Some vlogs try to review the vegetarian/vegan menus for their community and never know how to review it. Nothing to compare it to. Seeing this I know exactly what to look forward to.

[@JenLefforge]

Hurray! Yeah it’s a whole different thing when it’s your lifestyle! And honestly Disney does a much better job than most of getting that just because we are vegetarians doesn’t mean we want to eat healthy all the time. I’m on vacation! 😍

[@kellym5231]

The Caprese lunch at utto-Tay usto-Gay looked yummy. The animal print ears were a clever accessory for a vegetarian menu vlog!

[@JenLefforge]

Kelly I was hoping someone would catch that! I was trying to be clever;).

[@corriezoetewey7860]

You tube recommended this to me so I rewatched 😂 Always fun to hear about Disney food!

[@JenLefforge]

Well that’s awesome!🤣❤️

[@daniellemoore504]

Shhhh don't tell people about the upstairs at Columbia Harbor House- my favorite quick service at Magic Kingdom! Especially don't mention mobile ordering :-)

[@JenLefforge]

Right?!?! Great point, Danielle. I have to start remembering to protect my own vacations! LOL!

[@mrsmagicalmonica]

Thanks, Jen! Some of my favs are MK-Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn, DAK-Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe, Poly-‘Ohana, DHS-Mama Melrose’s, AKL-Sanaa 😋 21 years of vegetarian life here! Surprisingly, Le Cellier & Shula’s were very accommodating.

[@dawnturpin]

There are SO MANY vegetarian/vegan options now. So great. Also....Impossible Sliders at Nomad Lounge. Can’t go wrong with that!

[@JenLefforge]

I didn’t get a chance to try them but must!

[@lindarichards9913]

We ate at the Columbia Harbor House about a month ago and our son, who is a vegetarian, had the lighthouse sandwich and he loved it! I had a bite and although I'm not a vegetarian, I would so order this as well. Also....I remember you and other vloggers mentioning the tip about going upstairs and it was so much less crazy upstairs with plenty of seating. Great tips!

[@JenLefforge]

Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!😍😍😍

[@mahemphill93]

And now I want Satuli Canteen. Thanks, Jen...

[@JenLefforge]

Whoopsie!

[@eheersink]

Yay! I’ve been looking forward to this video. Thanks for your suggestions. It’s great hearing them from a vegetarian on vegetarian meals. Most of what I’ve seen is people used to eating meat for a main and comparing it to that. So I appreciated your thoughts.

[@JenLefforge]

That’s super interesting and your the second person to make that observation! I guess I didn’t realize someone would review vegetarian food if they weren’t a vegetarian? Glad I could help!

[@MsToady]

Yum, love Columbia Harbour House! We just returned from Disney and ate there two times!

[@JenLefforge]

Why does it never occur to me I can eat someplace twice?? Love that! I hope you had a wonderful trip, Margy!

[@webcreatrix]

The Lighthouse Sandwich is my favorite, too!

[@JenLefforge]

Just made my self peanut butter and jelly for lunch. It wasn't nearly as good. LOL! Thanks for watching, Denise!

[@elizabethlevey4796]

All of your meals sounded delicious! I will have to try some of these the next time I am at Disney.

[@JenLefforge]

So much good food, Liz!! Thanks for watching!!

[@sandrabond1]

I’m not a vegetarian but since welcoming my dil into the family I’ve been learning more about it and embracing it. I’ve seen some real benefits to my health just minimizing the meat I eat and increasing the veggies/fruit. This video is perfect for my upcoming July WDW trip. I’ll be searching some of these places out AND my wallet thanks you for the kids menu ordering tip:).

[@JenLefforge]

Girl you will save a fortune with the kids meal trick! It doesn’t work at table service but at counter service you can order kids meals all day (and the disney Mac and cheese is quite good!)😍

[@akfasso]

Thanks for the info! I am not a vegetarian, but I am working to reduce my meat consumption (not entirely). A slow process, but it's nice to be more mindful of it. Loved these tips and will have to check out these options next time I'm there.

[@JenLefforge]

And really if you can get a plant-based option that's just as good, why not? Glad you liked the video!

[@tarac.1911]

Thanks for the video, Jen. I was vegetarian most of my life until I got really sick as a teenager and now I still eat more of a plant based diet. I am glad to know all of the options for when I go next year. 😀

[@JenLefforge]

I’m so glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@sharismith8165]

Love this video! I am vegan and have found Walt Disney World to be very accommodating. They make it easy to eat too much :)

[@JenLefforge]

Oh my word, isn’t that the truth?!?! Thanks, Shari!

[@SteveFeatherstone]

hi jen, this is a super vlog. I remember having the chilli in a bread bowl when I last visited the magic kingdom

[@JenLefforge]

Thanks for watching Josh! Yeah people rave about their veggie chili!

[@christyl7763]

I am also a pescetarian, but when people question the way that I eat (which they ALWAYS do) I always want to reply with " I am a vetavitavegamin" lol * I LOVE LUCY! ;)

[@JenLefforge]

It’s exhausting to explain and i love the Lucy nod🤣🤣🤣🤣Usually I just say i eat mostly plants. 😎

[@kaelynmoyer9689]

I feel like you made this video just for me !!!! Thank you!

[@JenLefforge]

I am so glad, Kaelyn! Thank you for watching😍

[@kayjacks4852]

Jen I just adore you! Thank you for making this video! We're planning our meals for our December trip so this video is just what I needed today

[@JenLefforge]

I'm so glad!! I feel like really everything I ate is great for anybody, not just vegetarians! Enjoy your planning - that's my favorite part!

[@artistasguide6884]

You had me at roasted vegetable bowl! (At 95% Vegan, you are so speakin' my language!) Thanks Jen for this video---such a help!

[@JenLefforge]

I'm so glad! Who knew there was so much vegetarian variety at Disney? Well, me. I knew. 😊✨

[@epcotlandfan2804]

I am not sure if i tried that Lighthouse sandwich before, but my parents and son enjoy Columbia Harbor house so we go there often. I need to try it again after your review!!

[@JenLefforge]

Please do! I also love their tuna sandwich so trips when I'm not being full on vegetarian, that's my second go-to.

[@kristenwilliams9601]

Thank you so much for your vegetarian tips!! I’ve been one for over 20 years now. I do like caprese, but my complaint is it is EVERYWHERE. The SciFi Dine-In once had a delicious & unique vegetarian southwestern style shepherds pie but replaced it with yet again, another caprese dish.

[@JenLefforge]

Yeah, I remember one year (maybe 2006) for literally EVERY RESTAURANT at Disney had butternut squash ravioli. I was like, what happened? Did you guys get a bulk deal on butternut squash ravioli?? I get this so much! And yeah, I remember that Shepherd's Pie and it was THE BOMB.

[@CarissaHelmer88]

Thanks for the great tips! I am also pescatarian and we are staying at Yacht Club for our next trip, so we are eating at Yachtsman. Have you ever eaten there, if you have, do they have good pescatarian options?

[@JenLefforge]

I have and YES they have some fabulous fish options there. They typically have a market catch of the day that's always fresh and amazing!

[@mallorydeluca9307]

I’m not a vegetarian, but all of these sound yummy!!

[@JenLefforge]

Seriously, Mallory, even meat eaters would like most of the things i got! Thanks for watching!

[@disneytraveler6823]

These meals sound really good especially the grilled veggie one in AK. It sounds like it could be vegan too.

[@JenLefforge]

Yeah I actually think it was! So good!

[@Enorugger1]

Thank you for not saying you are vegetarian ! I can’t stand when people say they are but eat fish.

[@JenLefforge]

Well you are quite welcome!

[@faigie2002]

Is it a dedicated fryer for the chips, so no meat products were fried in the oil?

[@JenLefforge]

I didn’t ask that but I know the whole meal at Harbour House is certifies vegetarian so that should be the case.

[@anndavid2639]

Thanks for sharing good vegetarian options. I am not a vegetarian but eat meatless snacks and meals.

[@JenLefforge]

My husband is that way - he's not a vegetarian but eats that way whenever he can. Thanks, Ann!

[@ileaween]

The vegetarian food at the Pandora quick service restaurant is really good, too.

[@JenLefforge]

Yeah, I do love their food!! Thanks for watching!

[@mrsmagicalmonica]

ilea888 yes!! Satuli Canteen is so yummy!!!

[@amandashearrow2196]

I might eat vegetarian just to save some money at Disney ;)

[@JenLefforge]

Right?! It really was pretty remarkable how much I was able to save on food and I did NOT go hungry, not even once!

[@bethterra3957]

Great information I'm trying to go vegan but it's tough......😋

[@JenLefforge]

Vegan wore me out. I loved the way i felt but it was super hard when we went out and I was at the grocery store every 5 minutes! 😍

[@image360houston-spring2]

Hey do you have a Patreon??

[@JenLefforge]

I do! The link is in my description but it's just patreon dot com slash Jen Lefforge

[@stephaniepink6085]

Hi I’m pescatarian as well. I found it too hard to travel without eating fish. Plus I found myself eating more unhealthy to stay strictly vegetarian.

[@JenLefforge]

Everybody's different for sure. That's how I felt when I was vegan. I totally COULD have made a go of it and actually liked how I felt, but it was way too much work to get the nutrients I needed, especially as a runner. Maybe someday! Thanks for watching, Stephanie!
