Cheese; and for dessert they will bring Johnny Appleseed&#8217;s Cake which is Tavern-made White Cake filled with Apples and Ocean Spray Craisins Dried Cranberries, topped with Ice Cream.\u00a0 (Ocean Spray is the sponsor of Liberty Tree Tavern.)<\/p>\n<p>Full Menu: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/liberty-tree-tavern-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/dining\/menus\/liberty-tree-tavern-menu\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, first things first, lets start with the salad&#8230;this is my favorite salad on property.\u00a0 (Second is the salad from &#8216;Ohana).\u00a0 It&#8217;s got a strawberry dressing on top that is to die for.\u00a0 I only wished they sold this in stores because I would totally eat more salad!\u00a0 The Cast Member also brings over a basket of fresh baked bread with butter.\u00a0 I have to keep myself from filling up on the beginning stuff though, so I only eat one piece of this soft, scrumptious bread.<\/p>\n<p>We then make our way to the main entree.\u00a0 Ironically, I&#8217;m not the biggest turkey fan, so this part of the the traditional Thanksgiving\/Christmas meals does nothing for me.\u00a0 It was good for being turkey.\u00a0 The carved beef and the pork are way more up my alley.\u00a0 Both were delicious&#8230;though maybe a bit on the dry side.\u00a0 (I prefer my beef medium rare and this was more well) However, despite this they both had good flavor&#8230;and slap a little gravy on top and the dry quality quickly disappears.\u00a0 (Gravy makes everything better!)<\/p>\n<p>My favorite part about the meal, much like during the Holiday meals, is the side dishes.\u00a0 (Seriously&#8230;yesterday, I loaded up on the side dishes during my own Thanksgiving meal.)\u00a0 So, I was excited to bring on the creamy mashed potatoes, the moist stuffing, the perfectly seasoned green beans, and the cheesy macaroni and cheese.\u00a0 None of these side dishes disappoint and I made sure to load up on multiple servings of them!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31734\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31734\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Liberty-Tree-Tavern-Meal.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31734 \" alt=\"I look like I didn't much...trust me, I did! \" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Liberty-Tree-Tavern-Meal-300x266.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Liberty-Tree-Tavern-Meal-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Liberty-Tree-Tavern-Meal.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It looks like I didn&#8217;t eat much&#8230;trust me, I did!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t been there since they started serving the Johnny Appleseed cake (they used to serve apple cobbler which was super delicious.\u00a0 Man, could I go for some apple cobbler.)\u00a0 The Johnny Appleseed cake sounds intriguing and just is proof that I need to head back because I certainly miss eating here.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this really is one of my husband and my favorite meals in all of Walt Disney World.\u00a0 There&#8217;s just something so perfect about having that home-cooked style, comfort food dinner.\u00a0 It reminds me of being a kid and going over to my grandma&#8217;s house on Saturdays when she would serve up WAY more food than necessary, but it was all so yummy, so you just enjoyed yourself immensely.<\/p>\n<p>If you are ever in the mood for a taste of the Holidays, even in the middle of July, make sure to make an Advanced Dining Reservation for Liberty Tree Tavern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most popular restaurants to dine at during a guest&#8217;s Holiday visit to Walt Disney World\u00a0 is Liberty Tree Tavern.\u00a0 This fantastic colonial restaurant that is located in Liberty Square at the Magic Kingdom serves up their dinner offerings &#8220;family-style&#8221;
