Being a vegan in Orlando

Glad to hear about universal and blizzard beach offering something as well! Also dole whips are vegan :-) off site I think most of the chains are starting to put more options on as they are here but usually they are willing to accommodate. I think by the time we go it'll be even more mainstream and will only get easier! Can't wait!

dole whips dairy free yippee thank u, I never realised..I've had to go dairy free as well as gluten free for health reasons so am excited to hear this, have been struggling to find options that are both.Although Disney does seem to offer some good options if you are either / or!

He is

mostly over Cape may now, sometimes pops to TE, but they have a standard vegan menu now, his Samosa's, Tofu dish and cookies and ice cream

will be interesting to see what he does at cape may, a fish place ? ? ?

Onsite dining will be absolutely fine. As previously mentioned Chef TJ is amazing!

I always say I'm vegan in Orlando (I'm vegetarian) as I find they don't understand about rennet.

Unfortunately, lots of places use the same oil to cook their veggie/vegan options as their fish/meat options. We had issue after issue on our last visit all at off site places. Sweet Tomatoes is the best by far.

To be honest one night I wanted a change from Sweet Tomatoes and drove down the 192. Not one place we visited would guarantee a vegan or even veggie dish that wasn't contaminated. I asked at five different restaurants. We ended up at Target and bought loads of tasty vegan alternatives for a fraction of restaurant prices.

to be fair its the same home, if you ask about cross contamination you always get the same answer, we cannot guarantee it

Target had loads of nice Vegan stuff, we ate in 3 times due to it

A Massive Walmart just across the road over the I4 ( our fav one in the area )

Its not walkable though i wouldnt think, maybe a Cab / Uber / Lyft, it wouldnt cost much
