First vegan meal in Maui: Sammy's bar & grill

My friend Sarah and I had to wait for our friend Amelia's plane to land, so we grabbed salads at a small restaurant in the airport called
Sammy's. We had the Beach Salad, and I ordered it without egg or dressing. It had mixed greens, jicama, pico de gallo, roasted corn salsa, avocado, and lime. It was actually really refreshing and satisfying. It cost about $13.50 after tax and tip.

The restaurant overlooked the quiet runway and green mountains - beautiful. : )

Vegan food at Disneyland

It's been several years since I've been to Disneyland, so when a friend asked me about vegan options there I couldn't remember. I turned to my Twitter community for answers, and thought I'd compile them all here for your reference. : )

Disneyland notes on their FAQ page: "Special dietary needs — including vegetarian and medically restricted diets — can often be accommodated at select table-service restaurants. Please request special meals at least 24 hours in advance at (714) 781-DINE (3463)"

@HealthyVoyager said: "there is, the portobello "steak" on cous cous. It's just a'ight and overpriced, but a vegan option nonetheless" "there is also a veggie po' boy across from Pirates at some New Orleans delio"
