Two months ago, animal rights foundation PETA named Disneyland as the country’s most vegan friendly amusement park. Now, the California theme park has created a specially designed vegan pamphlet, which serves as a guide to all the vegan and vegetarian options the park has to offer, as well as which items to watch out for. The guide also indicates how long a guest can be expected to stay at each restaurant, so you’ll know whether your meal is going to be quick service (QSR) or table service (TSR) and if the dishes are available for breakfast (B), lunch (L), or dinner (D).

Now, park goers will be able to find their Impossible Burgers with ease, not to mention the other 75 vegan and vegetarian meal options to choose from. The guide also lists every ingredient, making it ideal for people with allergies or gluten intolerance.

To say that Disneyland is an ideal place for animal lovers is still not quite accurate. The park still uses horse-drawn carriages and serves nearly ten million hamburgers and eight million hot dogs every year. Still, it’s a gigantic leap forward. The visibility of plant-based eating to young park goers ensures the next generation will be in the know, and asking questions.
