Best vegetarian/vegan options?

[casjen]

I have my ADR's already booked. I am looking for good counter service restaurants/ideas.

I can't have any dairy at all, so I need mainly vegan. I have colitis and get very sick when I eat chicken, meat, seafood etc. Any help is appreciated.

My favorite veggie places on our most recent trip were:

-Mara (CS at AKL): Had fantastic hummus (a few different flavor options), also butternut squash soup, and other veggie options. If you've ever eaten at Boma, Mara sells some of their specialty dishes

-Tangierine Cafe (CS at Morocco at Epcot): hummus, taboule, and couscous were very good!!

Per the above website

1) Make your Advance Reservations at the restaurant of your choice at least 72 hours in advance--we recommend at least a week's notice for vegetarian meals (and 180 days or more for WDW's more popular restaurants) -- by calling (407) WDW-DINE (939-3463). Victoria & Albert's Chef's Table reservations can (and should) be made 180 days before.

2) If you're a vegan or on a strict low-fat diet--or would simply like an extra-special vegetarian meal--call the Walt Disney World main switchboard (407) 824-2222 and ask to be transferred to the restaurant of your choice. Once connected, ask to speak directly with a chef, and explain your dietary needs. Have fun brainstorming with the chefs about your special meal. If you give them enough advance notice (usually a week will do), most Disney chefs are more than happy to purchase special items like rice milk, kamut or seitan to make your meal memorable. Remember to get your chef's full name and to let him or her know the date and time of your visit.

3) Check in at the restaurant as soon as the park opens and tell the host that you've made prior arrangements with Chef X for a special vegetarian meal. Be sure the host verifies this before you head off to enjoy the park. If you haven't made prior arrangements, do so now.

4) Upon being seated at the restaurant, let your server know about your special dietary needs. If you've made arrangements with the chef for a meal not usually on the menu, tell the server your name and the name of the chef with whom you spoke.

5) If you have not made any special prior arrangements, a meal can often be prepared for you "on the fly" at table service restaurants. Ask your server if you can speak with a chef at your table. Find out what ingredients are on hand in the kitchen, and have fun being creative with Disney's culinary talent!

6) If you're at a quick service location and a castmember tells you that special meals and substitutions cannot be made, ask to speak with a manager. Nine times out of ten, your needs will be accommodated.

7) If you have a very strict diet and simply can't risk a goof-up with your special meal, feel free to bring a small cooler of goodies into any of the parks with you (only guests with special dietary restrictions are allowed this privilege). To avoid lugging your cooler around all day, stow it in a rental locker, located near the entrance to each park.

8) If all this advance planning and special requesting is simply not your style, just go with the flow - after all, Walt Disney World is a better place to be vegetarian than most American cities, and you're just as likely to stumble across something yummy as not.

GOOD LUCK !

Tusker house had amazing vegetarian options. I am not sure how many of those were vegan- but i heard the cheds with a few others going through with other customers so that might be a good bet!
