Disneyland Paris has chosen Beyond Meat as its official plant-based meat partner across the whole resort, including the hotels, both theme parks and Disney Village.
Beyond Meat is a Los Angeles-based producer of plant-based meat substitutes founded in 2009. Menu items will be made using Beyond Meat’s plant-based products such as the Beyond Burger, Beyond Sausage and Beyond Meatballs.
“Partnering with Disneyland Paris, a beloved and iconic brand who shares our vision of a better future, is a true milestone for us as we make plant-based meat more accessible throughout Europe,” said Jorg Oostdam, general manager EMEA at Beyond Meat.
“As more consumers gravitate towards flexitarian diets, we’re looking forward to surprising and delighting Disneyland Paris’ guests with our plant-based meat offerings that taste just as great as conventional meat and can help make a positive impact.”

Concern over the effects of climate change is growing across the globe. Disneyland Paris is responding with the introduction of Beyond Meat and more sustainable dishes.
“Disneyland Paris is committed to providing an exceptional guest experience with magical memories that last a lifetime, and our dining experience is an integral part of that,” added Laure Albouy, the resort’s VP of business strategy and integration.
“With sustainability as a core priority, we are delighted to partner with Beyond Meat [which] is pushing the boundaries in the reinvention of food. We’re excited to be offering our guests new food choices and help contribute to a better world.”
In 2020, Disney announced a partnership with Impossible to introduce the company’s plant-based products at Disney’s US theme parks and Disney Cruise Line.
Disneyland Paris has also created a replica of its Sleeping Beauty Castle using 300kg of recycled glass as part of a waste recycling campaign. Earlier this year, the resort started operating the first section of its solar canopy plant.
