Vegetarian Monorail

[DISlikelakes]

I have a vegetarian wife and daughter who'd love to have a dinner at one of the monorail resorts. Anyone know which of the restaurants are the most veggie friendly especially when it comes to making something not on the menu?

'Preciate it.

I'm thinking the Wave at the Contemporary. I do not know about ordering off menu, but they specialize in sustainable and local type menu items. Or so they say!

Also, Look into the Kona Cafe in the Polynesian. They do some vegetarian dishes and some dishes that include a choice of Tofu in the place of meat.

In the recent past, Ohana has created elaborate feasts for their vegetarian guests. I would check to see if this is still the case.

I know this is not answering your question but my vegetarian sister loved Boma. The chef came out and walked through the buffet with her, pointing out the vegetarian options and then consulted with her before making her a special dish

ETA: As a sidenote, the Yachtsman Steakhouse did the worst job of creating a vegetarian entree I have ever seen. My sister got four dishes, three containing one type of vegetable each and one containing completely plain pasta. It was bizarre. Why would a restaurant serve completely plain pasta to anyone other than a picky toddler? It was even more disappointing because I had read a review in which a vegetarian diner talked about her positive experience getting a consult with the chef and a fabulous off-the-menu entree at YS.

Wow, the name of this thread threw me for a bit - made me look a "vegetarian monorail"??
Can't answer your question though

Great tips so far. Thanks!

Hi,

We did lacto-ovo vegetarian meals at each of the monorail resorts last summer. 1900 Park Fare was alright -- they had veggie maki rolls, but not much else. We didn't leave hungry, but it just OK. I do have to say the character interaction made up for any culinary shortcomings, however. Lady Tremaine and her daughters are a laugh-riot.

'Ohana was fantastic. We had veggie lo-mein, grilled tofu w/a few sauces, and white rice (plus the salad, bread, and dessert).

Chef Mickey's had a couple vegetarian entrees and a number of side dishes. We really enjoyed that as well.

Oh, Boma and Tusker House are fantastic for vegetarians.

Have a great time!

DH and I went to Yachtsman for my birthday in May (I'm a strict vegetarian) and that was one of the best meals of the trip, for both of us! Maybe you caught them on an off night or maybe the menu has changed since then.

I think the Wave would probably be your best choice for a non-signature restaurant, but any of the signature restaurants, especially CA Grill, are good with vegetarian options. And Kona is good too, but I think the Wave would have more options.

Unfortunately, I don't think I could drag her back there if I tried.

I'm glad you have such a great experience though!
