Thank you all for taking the time to respond to my post although I'm honestly truly shocked at the direction that unfortunately this post took due to some of the responses... I was just asking for advice, tips and past experiences and not judgements and criticism but that's the interest for you and there is nothing one can do about it.
Not that I have to defend my current way of eating but yes, it may be 'bland' but when you have had 180/110 blood pressure in my 30s and choose to finally want to do something about it, bland yet having a healthier life matters more; but that's beside the point. Plus when you start eating w/o salt, you begin to taste food's true flavors and you will be surprised how enjoyable food can be on its own.
I would never ‘expect’ a restaurant to cater to a specific need because then I would just eat at home, but I’m going to Disney with a group of people who don’t have any dietary restriction and so I have to find a way where I can also eat at these restaurants while maintaining the dietary needs I’ve been given to have a healthier life at this point in time.
I would figure if I can ask at a restaurant to please refrain from adding salt OR more salt or oil where possible, it wouldn’t be the end of the world... They have the ingredients and if they are willing and able to accommodate and find a way to make something simple that I can eat (which Disney is one of the best at going above and beyond for their guests) I figured that it's better to ask and the worse they can say is no, sorry. I was simply asking if anyone had past experiences doing this.
So for all those that gave me great tips and advice, I do truly appreciate it. Thank you so much!
Based on the replies, my plan is to probably skip the buffet, salads and I can add balsamic and lemon, I'll bring some foods and snacks like oatmeal which I can mix with hot water, see if I can ask for steamed vegetables and plain rice, get fruit, no bread (good tip because I was planning on having the mama Melrose bread but not anymore), probably getting the vegan curry at the Skippers Canteen, and I've also called ahead for BOG so I'll see what they can do, if anything.
My goal is not to be 100% perfect on the SOS part because I know it will be impossible, but I do want to try my best where I possible can!
If anyone is interested I can come back and post how my trip goes.
