Hi friends,
Have you ever gone to a theme park to have a great time, only to spend the majority of the day getting lost in thick crowds, waiting hours in lines, and struggling to find good vegan food options?
We definitely have! We went to Disneyland together to share the best vegan food at Disneyland and how to eat vegan on a budget at Disneyland.
Disneyland makes it easy to find vegan options at almost every eatery in the park, but many theme parks are a ghostland when it comes to vegan options. And that's why we brought theme park pro Russel on to pick his brain and learn his tricks.
In this episode Russell, aka @rollercoastervegan, talks all about how to have the best time and dodge the long lines all while maintaining your plant-based values.
Russell is well-known for their drool-worthy pictures of tasty theme park food on Instagram, and on this episode they are giving us all the tips for finding vegan food both on park grounds and nearby!
We also talk about how to save money, book accommodations, and more when planning a theme park trip.
Whether you’re a roller coaster fan or not, this episode might just have you itching to plan your next theme park trip!
Enjoy,
♡ Toni & Michelle
