vegetable sides?

[whitehart]

We're not vegetarian, but we need more vegetables than potatoes for a week. What Quick Serve places have the best variety of vegetable side items with meals on the QSDP?

In the Animal Kingdom:
Pizzafari will serve you a salad with your pizza.

In the Studios:
Pizza Planet will serve you a salad with your pizza.
Fairfax Fare has a pretty standard baked-beans-and-coleslaw sides offering.

In Epcot:
Sunshine Seasons (the Land) will serve you stir-fried broccoli/mixed veg with your asian food, and they have some interesting entree salads.

In Magic Kingdom:
Cosmic Ray's serves their barbecue ribs and/or roasted chicken plates with 'seasonal vegetable' - it has been 'green bean season' for the past four or five years, apparently
Pinocchio's Village Haus serves their pizza with a side salad, and they also offer a couple of entree salads.


On top of this, every single location that sells burgers/sandwiches offers them with 'choice of apple slices or french fries' which could help eliminate fried-potato overload as well. I often order mine with apple slices and carry those off into the sunset for a snack later (they come in plastic packages).

It's not hard to eat a little better than standard burger-and-fries at QS locations in WDW, but we generally depend on our TS meals to load up on veggies.

Thanks, we were thinking of upgrading from the "Quick Serve" to the DDP, and this may be the deciding factor.

We find vegetables hard to come by even on the DDP. I find that they give you a big portion of meat, a side of starch vegetables, and then the green something is more a garnish size. Since a app isn't included you have to pay oop to get a salad.

I have however, looked more closely at the menus and planned restuarants where salads and vegetable sides come with the meals at the CS locations.

This trip, since we are doing a split stay, we plan to get the dining plan for one part and OOP the other and see if we fare any better with options vs. price.

Yeah, we tend to do a lot of character/buffet dining and I eat plates full of veggies (really, the vegetable dishes and salads often tend to be some of the best offerings on there )
