Food: 5
Service: 5
Atmosphere: 4
Okay for Children: Yes, but if they characters are on the other side of the restaurant you can't see them until they come around. They got to see all the characters twice, except for Chip n' Dale.
Okay for Couples: Yes, it is pretty quiet if you just want to eat and enjoy your food.
Be Sure to Try: I am weird I loved the rolls they tasted slightly sweet but yummy!! My husband loved the roast beef and he is very picky.
General tips: We had reservations for 5:25pm and had to wait a good 20 to 30 minutes to be seated, not a problem, but there is no where to sit unless you go outside.
TheMouseForLess tips: Can't think of any
Extra Comments: Lack of seating in the waiting area.
Who: Land family
Where: Liberty tree tavern in Magic Kingdom
When: Thursday October 5th, 2006

Okay for Children: yes. My girls loved this!! The atmosphere was nothing special but my girls loved the character interaction. (Chip and Dip--what my youngest calls them--were my girls favorite). Each character spent lots of time at our table.
Okay for Couples: yes
Be Sure to Try: The Banana pudding was great and they served the best sweet tea of anywhere that we ate (or drank)
General tips: Our ressies were at 4:30--it was MNSSHP night--we waited a couple of minutes and were seated.
TheMouseForLess tips: Nothing that I can think of.
Extra Comments: We really enjoyed this restaurant, I would recommend it to anyone.
Who: Linda and DH
Where: Liberty Tree Tavern
When: Wednesday, August 2, 2006, 11:30am
What: Lunch. DH had the pasta with chicken; I had my usual Colony
Salad and for a new twist I ordered clam chowder. (It was cold in
there despite it being well into the 90's in the park).
Approximate Price of Entrees: Soup - $3.99, Iced Tea - $2.19, Pasta-
$13.99, Colony Salad-$12.19. Total with tax (no tip): $34.46. I
used my DDE discount card (passholder perk) and adjusted total was
$27.58. Gave $6 for the tip. (I had to ask her for rolls).
Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 4.5 (I didn't like the pasta, but I didn't have to eat it!)
Service: 4.5
Atmosphere: 5
Okay for Children: You bet. Its in the Magic Kingdom.
Okay for Couples: Yes. There are lots of tables for two in this
restaurant.
Be Sure to Try: I always eat the Colony Salad for lunch at LTT (its
a tradition for me). DH usually has the turkey dinner but this time
it was the William Penn Pasta. He said it was fine, but I found the
sauce to be a bit heavy and bacon-y for the very hot August day.
(It was in the mid 90's).
General tips: Get the first lunch seating at LTT as service will be
really quick as the place is filling up. I really like this
restaurant as there is ample room to move around when you leave, and
not bump into other diners.
TheMouseForLess tips: This is a table service location, and on the
dining plan you want to use it for the character dinner (there are
NO CHARACTERS for lunch). But if you're paying out of pocket the
LTT is a great place to have your main meal of the day. There is
enough on the menu to please everyone. Make a reservation though to
ensure your space; as the day goes on and gets hotter, walk-ups
escaping the heat are difficult to accommodate during busy times.

Okay for Couples: Yes

meal. You can order seconds of everything, or just the items that you liked
best.

meal! We went right before MVMCP, and really got some of our best pictures
with the characters here. I would highly recommend going, even if you don't
have children with you.

Okay for Children: Our son loved the characters and the extra interaction
they gave here. We went during the Halloween party so the characters were
in costume which was extra special.
Okay for Couples: Yes
Be Sure to Try: The potato's were great as well as the dessert. The meats
were good but the beef was a little dry. I liked it because it reminded me
of beef jerky.
General tips: Enjoy the characters this restaurant had one of the best
interactions with the characters. They really took their time to not only
take pictures and interact with our sons as well as us adults. They spent
extra time to interact with our son every time they walked past our table.
The food here was great and one of our favorites. Typical American feast.
TheMouseForLess tips: You can eat as much as you want so ask for seconds of
anything you need.
Extra Comments: This tied for our favorite dinner this trip along with
Ohana's for both atmosphere and food.

waiter was so nice! He went and got Minnie so we could take another picture!

Be Sure to Try: The rolls.
General tips: Dinner is a character meal and throughout our meal, we were visited by Pluto, Goofy, Chip and Dale, and Minnie. Some of the characters came by more than once.
TheMouseForLess tips: If you have a DDE card Ð use it.
Extra Comments: We had a Priority Seating (PS) for 8:35. We were about 40minutes early, but the Cast Member checked us in and handed me a beeper and told us to go inside and wait. We found a place to sit down which was very difficult as the waiting area was very crowded. We waited and waited and waited. We saw several groups that came in after us being called and seated Ð large groups even. I checked and was told 10 more minutes on two separate occasions. We were a party of two and as I later came to find out, there are very few parties of two that come to dine at the Liberty Tree Tavern. Also, it doesnÕt pay to be early for a PS Ð at least it sure didnÕt for us as we were not called to be seated until nearly 8:45. We were seated at a very small table for two against the wall. We were seated for nearly 15 minutes before we were even approached by our server who said he would be right with us. At that point, we probably should have gotten up and walked out. After five more minutes, Raymond came to take our drink orders. He did tell us that he was having problems with the computer which, in my opinion, was not a good enough excuse to let us sit at our table for so long without even coming by to greet us or have someone else greet us. He finally came back with our drinks and then told us he would be back with our salad. The character dinner at LTT is the same for everyone. Why he didnÕt bring the salad with our drinks is really strange because all he did was make more work for himself. I saw the other servers bring salad with the other guestsÕ beverages. The salad dressing was quite tasty and the rolls with honey butter were very good. Spectromagic was starting at 9:00 and had made its way outside the LTT around 9:15 and I could make out some of the floats through the Òhand-madeÓ panes of glass in the windows. Our table was so small that when Raymond brought out our ÒplatterÓ of turkey and ham and beef, Bob and I each had nearly one-third of our plates hanging off the edge of the table. It is truly a miracle that we did not end up with them on our laps. I have to say that the Mashed Potatoes was the best part of this meal besides the rolls. The beef was horribly dry and the ham was less than desirable. The turkey was okay, but not what I had imagined. It was more of a turkey roll turkey breast. After having the great green beans at the Tusker House, these were barely edible. I have to say that Raymond was one of the worst servers I have ever encountered at WDW. I could have probably died of thirst before he finally brought me a refill on my Diet Coke. When he finally returned to clear away our main dish plates and bowls, he told us that the cobbler for that night was Cherry. When Raymond finally brought our check to us at 10:00 and not only was I disappointed in our meal, the service we had received and the horrible table we had been seated at, I had to miss the beginning of Wishes and Bob was really upset at that point. If nothing else, I have learned to tell all the servers that we have dealt with that I have a Disney Dining Experience (DDE) card from the very beginning so we donÕt have to deal with a receipt being run twice. We were able to use the DDE card at the LTT and did receive a discount of $10.05 on our meals.
After we were seated, there were two other couples seated in our area and neither one of these couples had to deal with being seated at such a small table. I honestly doubt that I will ever be able to get Bob to dine her again. If I were to dine here again, I would have to make a PS for a party of at least 3 and I hate to lie about my party size, but it was truly ridiculous that we were seated at such a small table and had to wait so long for a table for two.

Food: 5+++

Atmosphere: 5
Okay for Children: Absolutely - this character dinner is very popular with
our girls
Okay for Couples: Yes, although not terribly quiet or romantic
Be Sure to Try: flank steak and mashed potatoes - and delicious strawberry
viniagrette dressing
General tips: It is usually quieter here if you can get an early PS for
dinner, and that gives you extra time with the characters. It's also good
if you want to skip lunch, as you will never walk away from this meal
hungry!
Dollarless tips: he food is all you can eat, served family style.
Definitely use this as your big meal of the day and save room for it! There
is a lot of food, and there are quite a few starches (stuffing, potatoes and
macaroni and cheese), so you'll fill up quickly. Eat a late breakfast and
skip lunch, or just eat very lightly at lunch time and enjoy this meal.
Extra Comments: This is one of our favorite dinner places at Disney World.
The food is plentiful, very good, and there is always great character
interaction. We also never feel rushed here. We've had meals here last as
long as 2 hours when we've traveled with other people - we just sit and talk
and it's a nice time.
They used to not include dessert with your meal, which allowed you to choose
from the menu. They now include dessert - which was a little disappointing
to my oldest daughter, who was drooling for the caramel pound cake they used
to have. The dessert we were served, however, (apple cobbler) was really
delicious - and they gave us so much, we ended up leaving a pretty good
portion.
