Hundreds of plant-based dishes are sprouting up all over the Walt Disney World Resort.

Guests are now able to more easily identify plant-based dishes with the introduction of a new green leaf menu icon that will make it easier than ever to find this delicious cuisine at both quick service and table service locations.

Flame Tree Barbecue is arguable one of the most popular quick service restaurants at Disney's Animal Kingdom. If barbecue is your comfort food then this is the place you want to chow down at while visiting the theme park.

B.B. Wolf's Sausage Co. in The Town Center at Disney Springs is a Disney owned and operated kiosk serving up gourmet sausages with some serious style. I dropped in recently to try the sampler and see what all the huff and puff is about when it comes to these artisanal dogs.

This brand-new aerial gondola system glides above the treetops connecting four resorts directly to Disney Parks in a fun and free way to travel.
