Truly no intention to be political. We have the meal plan so will be at a few buffets. As an ibs sufferer I'm scared of any stomach illnesses, but I also have to eat a pretty clean diet with lots of fruits and veggies to avoid flares.

I was thinking about this earlier, wondering if most QS salad is bagged lettuce. I think I'll actively try to eat cooked vegetables as often as I can and forego salads - what I've been doing at hm. Normally salad would be a go-to but willing to pivot.

You could also try asking your server at very beginning of meal before ordering who lettuce supplier is. Have done this at home 2x before ordering salads while out. It helped me for peace of mind :-)

I'm with you. I'm scared of lettuce. I did have a Caesar salad at Aulani Sunday hopeful it was a farm to table thing. So far so good. Otherwise I've been eating crap like fries to avoid lettuce. Quite ironic.

A few restaurants, such as Tiffins, usually have lettuce from the land. I just got off a cruise and skipped all lettuce. At home I am sticking to local hydroponic lettuce.

That's why the only salads I eat are Ham Salad, Egg Salad and Chicken Salad.

What about pasta salad, @fatty?

Just got back and I avoided salads on my trip. Tried to find other healthy options. Some things I did: ordered kids meals with both sides as cuties, many restaurants had green beans as a side (and we always received a huge portion)...

Ordered any cooked veggies on TS menus, Satuli canteen has tropical forest fruits breakfast packed with tons of fruit and steel cut oats mixed into the yogurt and is phenomenal, they also serve cabbage slaw as a side!

And many QS has oatmeal and fruit/yogurt parfaits. It actually wasn't too bad finding veggies/fruits without salad.

We have one meal at GG so assume salad is good there. Thinking I'll sadly have to avoid salad at H&V and Primo Piatto. I tend to go for a lot of fruit and veggies at the buffets so hoping fruit is at least okay. I assume any herbs on main meals are cooked

We're also avoiding lettuce from restaurants at home and using Little Leaf hydroponic. I miss my spinach so much.

There is salad at Disney?

Bacteria is not political. It's happy to attack any willing host. Science y'all.

@elaine, that was my thought!

So I would eat it and not think about it at all. But I'm eating it at home too. According to the pensacola news journal, there have been 158 cases in Florida as of July 15. They average 250 a year. So it seems to me that's pretty average....

Osceola County had 7. So 13 cases out of nearly 2 million residents and I don't know how many tourists. I'd take those odds. .00065%

Interestingly those two counties had 13 cases in the same time period in 2025, 9 cases during the same period in 2024, 18 cases in 2023. I personally wouldn't worry in Orlando.

We're eating it at home, too, only from Taylor Farms' competitors, though, and no iceberg lettuce. Fruit and salad mixes as normal, though I only eat romaine hearts anyhow because I don't like "leaves." (Yes, my salad palate is limited!)

I will say, however, that I've never eaten a salad at WDW, so don't figure I'll start now!

I get my fill of lettuce just looking at it on living with the land. I haven't been eating it leading up to the trip because nobody wants that ON vacation.

My DD had a salad and DGS had a fruit plate at GF Cafe on Monday and they were fine.

Publix has changed to a brand of romaine (salad every day)I've never seen there before. But honestly, DH was sick for 5 weeks (doc finally prescribed antibiotic) after eating at Tutto Italia in Epcot(friend who was with us was sick for 4 days) .

WDW probably used whatever Sisco has.

@irene they both ate salad? Love Little Leaf at home. Lasts so much better. I'm in the no salads at Disney side of the list. This made me think and Can't recall anywhere eaten in last few trips. And I like salads! Funny
