There are other counter service places that also have vegetarian dishes (Stage Door has fried mozerella, I think Hungry Bear has some sort of sandwich/wrap). I think that you can get veggie patties at the burger places, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Some of the 'nicer' buffeteria type places have some more unusual options (French Market has some pasta that's basically grown up mac n cheese and it's delicious!, Plaza Inn has some pastas). There are also various little stands around the park that sell fresh fruit and other veggie-friendly foods. I don't know the exact locations, but there should be an equivalent location to most of the food options in DCA as well. Pizza Oom Mow Mow has a nearly identical menu to Redd Rockets, Farmers Market is the same as Stage Door, and there are a lot of options in the Pacific Wharf restuarants. I don't know if allears.net has menu items for DL like the do for WDW, but there should be some website out there that lists the menus at all of the restuarants, so you can check to see what they have. I would be surprised if there wasn't at least one veggie option at every restuarant though.

There are vegetarian bulletin boards where you can read all about how this or that "vegetarian" item at Disneyland isn't really, truly, strictly vegetarian. For example, the vegetable skewers at Bengal BBQ are tasty, and have no meat ingredients, but they're cooked on the same grill as the meat skewers. Then there are the "veggie" burritos at Rancho del Zocalo, which may or may not contain lard, depending on whom you ask. As a relatively casual vegetarian, I've found something to eat at every location. Plaza Inn's penne pasta is a particular favorite. And yes, there are veggie patties at just about every burger place. On the other hand, if your boss is a strict vegetarian, or a vegan (no dairy, no eggs), you may have a tough time finding acceptable casual dining choices. You may be restricted to high-end dining (where everything is made to order and special requests can be easily accomodated) or pre-packaged foods (e.g., bowls of fruit).

I would assume that if you ask them at the restuarant, they would tell you what's in it. They were very upfront with the gluten-free stuff, and there are tons of other people with all sorts of other food alregies, so I can't imagine that they would keep it a secret. They may not post it in an easily accessable place, but if you want it, I'm sure they will give it to you.

Originally Posted By alexbook Re-reading this, I think I sounded more critical of Disney than I meant to. As a company, they're accomodating, but you have to be prepared to state your requests clearly, and if your requests are out of the ordinary, you may need to state your requests in advance. The problem I was addressing is that the term "vegetarian" doesn't have a universally accepted definition. I was trying explain that, depending on a particular individual's definition, there may be more or fewer choices available. There are bulletin boards where vegetarians and vegans discuss these sorts of things, and you can find long threads debating whether a particular dish is vegetarians, depending on all the ingredients and sub-ingredients and depending on how it was prepared and served. To take a common example: Is a veggie patty still vegetarian if it's fried on the same grill as a hamburger? What if the grill is scraped down after the hamburger and before the veggie patty?
