Disclaimer : I am very laid back about cross contamination so still ask your server for clarification if you hold a high standard for purity.
I am going to highlight a couple experiences briefly before giving a quick easy run down of options and will give reviews of the places I tried as a series starting after this post.
Even though this one was prior to Disney its worth warning that in the Buffalo airport I got a black bean patty sandwich from a sandwich shop (I did not double check for egg I just assumed it was fine) regardless of ingredients I recommend waiting until you get to Orlando to eat. It was so gross I was almost scared away from all things black bean.

Savior of the black bean for our first trip was quick service at Pecos Bills, This was my favourite quick service of the trip! Pecos Bill's is a western themed restaurant which features Mexican cuisine. This location offers bean burritos and bean and rice bowls, be sure to specifically request plain white rice the cilantro rice it comes with by default contains dairy. This is one of the few restaurants that has a vegan dessert other than sorbet or enjoy life cookies.
We also went to the Ice Cream Parlor On Main which offers both Rice Dream and Tofutti ice cream. 

Vegan snacks available in the various parks include: Mickey pretzels! Popcorn! Dole Whip! Dark chocolate bars! 
At Disney I really felt I could walk in anywhere and not have to worry all I had to do was ask and vegan options would appear. Keep in mind though some places will be more prepared than others, if you don't call ahead the option you get may not be a full filling as if you had called ahead. 
Most quick service locations feature the basic veggie burger, be sure to double check the patty as they do change them and sometimes the default one will have egg. The standard dessert is enjoy life cookies as the dessert but there are some with more exciting options.
Pecos Bills as I mentioned offers burritos and burrito style bowls in Frontierland. In Hollywood Studios coming in an extremely close second for best quick service is Planet Pizza which offers veggie pizza with vegan cheese, an Italian side salad and you classic enjoy life cookies for dessert.

A 100% must do for all vegans and anyone interested in trying vegan food is Trails End in Fort Wilderness when Chef Tj is working. Currently Chef Tj is off on weekends so make your ADR for a Weekday ideally around 5 before the Hoop Dee Do rush hits due to using a shared kitchen. Tell your server you'd like Chef Tj he will come out and then allow him to surprise you with specialty multi course meal from heaven, 100% cruelty free too!
