Hey Thrill Seekers,

Gone are the days when vegetarians and vegans had to survive Orlando theme parks on chips and side salads. I was once served a broccoli sub… just broccoli nothing else…

In 2026, both Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World Resort now offer some genuinely excellent plant-based meals and even SeaWorld Orlando has improved its options significantly.

Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or just trying to eat less meat during your holiday, here are the best places to eat across Orlando’s major parks.

🎢 Best Vegan & Vegetarian Food at Universal Orlando Resort

Universal has quietly become one of the best theme park resorts in Orlando for plant-based dining. In fact, some guides now rank Universal Studios Florida as the best Universal park for vegan variety.

🍄 Universal Studios Florida

🥧 Vegan Shepherd’s Pie – Finnegan’s Bar & Grill

One of the most recommended vegan meals at Universal.
