Who wants a snack? Silly question, right? Touring the parks can give everyone a hankering for a filling snack from time to time. The obvious choice for great vegan snacks within the parks comes from the various fruit carts located throughout. They typically carry apples, oranges, bananas (if you're lucky), or small packages of cut fruit. But let's face it -- if you've been walking around the Magic Kingdom all day and you still have a good four hours until your dinner reservation, that apple just isn't going to cut it! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the staple for vegan snacking throughout various stadiums and ballparks: The Soft Pretzel.
When done right, this snack item can be the perfect combination of warm, doughy, and salty. Is there anything better? Sure, there is! But in the theme park vegan snack department, soft pretzels are often all we have to curb the between-meal-hunger. The best thing is that these babies are widely available in all four theme parks, and they're great for sharing!
Now, you should keep in mind that some stands have gone and corrupted our beloved pretzel by stuffing the inside with cream cheese. These are definitely not vegan, and not very appealing (to me, at least). Just go for your trusty, run of the mill soft pretzel and your hunger will be tamed for more park touring and even more attractions!

We were sorely disappointed with 1900 Park Fare. the chef did not offer to bring us anything and just took us around the buffet. He showed us what our options were: Broccoli, one of the salads, and the tomato soup. Oh. And white rice. It was the most disappointing meal I have *ever had at WDW thus far. The character interaction was fun, but definitely not worth it to eat rice and broccoli ( I didn't enjoy the salad or soup). Both dh and I left hungry and when we got back to our resort (AKL) ordered food from Mara...while we had to smell Boma and kick ourselves!
