The MouseHub take

Liberty Tree Tavern sits in Liberty Square, a colonial-style inn where the standing menu is Thanksgiving dinner no matter what month you show up. Service is family style and all-you-care-to-enjoy: the Declaration Salad lands first, then the Patriot's Platter of roasted turkey, pot roast, and smoked pork loin with mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, herbed stuffing, and house-made macaroni and cheese. Dessert is the Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake. There is a plant-based version too, the Tavern Keeper's Feast. Both meals cost $45 per adult and $24 per child, plus tax and gratuity. You eat in one of six rooms named for Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Paul Jones, Paul Revere, Betsy Ross, or George Washington.

The draw is a long, cold, seated break in the middle of a Magic Kingdom day, and food lands within minutes of the party sitting down. Guests who wanted a light lunch leave uncomfortable, since a holiday dinner and a Florida afternoon work against each other. The check-in lobby holds almost nobody, so parties wait outside until their name is called, and tables run past their booked times often enough that visitors bring it up. The rooms are small and a full house gets loud.

At a glance

Best for
Anyone who wants a real sit-down meal, cold air, and more food than one person should carry back into the park.
Skip if
You want a light lunch, a quiet room, or a quick turnaround back to the rides.
Worth ordering
Oooey Gooey toffee cake, Pot roast, House-made macaroni and cheese
Reservations
Disney calls advance reservations highly recommended, and the booking carries a per-person no-show fee. The restaurant does take the mobile walk-up list, so a missed booking is not the end of it.
Value
$45 per adult and $24 per child, plus tax and gratuity, at both lunch and dinner. The refills are what make that math work.

The good

  • Food arrives minutes after you sit down
    The kitchen sends one family-style platter rather than a plate per person, so there is nothing to wait on. The Declaration Salad tends to land while the party is still sorting out drinks.
  • You can ask for more of anything
    The Patriot's Platter is all-you-care-to-enjoy, and diners report servers refilling the meats and sides they liked. Ask before the plates get cleared.
  • The pot roast outshines the other two meats
    Turkey, pot roast, and smoked pork loin share the platter. Diners single out the pot roast as the one worth going back for.
  • The toffee cake earns the reservation on its own
    The Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake is a vanilla toffee cake under chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream, and reviewers rate it the high point of the meal.
  • Allergy diners get their own plates
    A shared platter is awkward with a restriction, and diners report the kitchen sending dedicated plates instead. Disney's policy is that guests may consult with a chef or special diets trained Cast Member before ordering.
  • Each of the six rooms has a name and a story
    Disney names them for Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Paul Jones, Paul Revere, Betsy Ross, and George Washington, and each room carries artifacts associated with that figure. Wood paneling, candelabra chandeliers, and brick fireplaces do the rest.
  • Plant-based diners get a whole second feast
    The Tavern Keeper's Feast is its own all-you-care-to-enjoy menu: a Tavern Salad, an Impossible meatloaf with mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy, and seasonal vegetables, then Johnny Appleseed's Warm Apple Cake. Nobody is eating sides while the table works through the platter.

The bad

  • The check-in lobby holds almost nobody
    The indoor waiting area is small. Most parties end up standing outside in whatever the weather is doing until their name is called.
  • Tables run past their booked time
    Diners report waiting well after their reservation time before being seated. Leave slack before whatever you planned next.
  • The turkey and the pork loin come out dry
    Both roasted meats draw the same complaint across reviews. It shows up often enough to plan around, and the pot roast is where most diners land instead.
  • A holiday dinner lands hard in the heat
    This is a heavy meal in the middle of a walking day. Guests describe dragging through the afternoon once they are back outside.
  • Six small rooms means tight tables
    The rooms fit a lot of covers into a small footprint. Chairs back into neighboring parties, and a full house gets loud.

Veteran tips

  • Try the walk-up list before you give up
    Liberty Tree Tavern is on Mobile Dine Walk-Up Availability, so a table without a reservation is worth checking in My Disney Experience. That is rare for a Magic Kingdom sit-down meal.
  • Send one person to check in and wait in the shade
    The lobby cannot hold your party, so leave one person at the host stand and put the rest somewhere shaded in Liberty Square. Walk over when the table is ready.
  • Book it for the worst heat of the day
    A midday seating spends the hours nobody enjoys outdoors sitting in air conditioning. The trade is that nobody moves fast for a while afterward.
  • Ask for more of what you liked
    The platter arrives with a set ratio of meats and sides, and the house-made gravy is its own line on the menu. Tell the server what you want more of rather than working through what came out.
  • Raise allergies before you order
    Disney's policy is that guests may consult with a chef or special diets trained Cast Member before placing an order. That matters more here than usual, because the food comes out on shared platters.
  • The Diamond Horseshoe serves the same menu
    Disney runs the Liberty Tree Tavern menu at The Diamond Horseshoe in Magic Kingdom. Check there when the tavern shows nothing on the day you want.
  • Cancel in the app or pay for it
    The reservation carries a cancellation and modification policy, and the card on file is charged a per-person fee for a no-show or a late cancel. Move the booking rather than dropping it.
  • Walk the rooms before you leave
    Each room holds the signature artifacts of the figure it is named for, and Disney invites guests to go find them. It beats sitting still waiting for dessert.
