REVIEW: Liberty Tree Tavern Removes Pot Roast & Turkey Lunch Meals In Favor of Family Style Meals

WDWNT on October 31, 2016

If you have been to the Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch at the Magic Kingdom, you without a doubt are familiar with the New England Pot Roast and Pilgrims’ Feast meals. If you aren’t, here is the old menu to refresh your memory a bit:

Lunch menu at Liberty Tree Tavern, February 2016

Liberty Tree Tavern has always been one of my favorite lunch spots at the park, being fairly inexpensive and having a menu of really solid comfort food. In fact, you can read my glowing review of the former lunch menu that I did back in February if you want to hear more about it.

On Wednesday, October 26th, 2016, the menu above ceased to be. In its place was this:

New Liberty Tree Tavern Lunch Menu, October 2016

Now, not only are the Pot Roast and the Pilgrims’ Feast gone, but as you can see, the menu has been greatly reduced in overall options. You can still get turkey if you really want it, but you will have to order the infamous “All-You-Care-to-Enjoy” meal which is now also offered at lunch in addition to dinner, where it has always been.

Is the move a positive one, or is this another Plaza Restaurant style disaster? Let’s find out.

Liberty Tree Tavern “All You Care to Eat” Family Style Meal ($33.00 Adults, $19.00 Children)

The “all you care to enjoy” feast includes 3 courses: Declaration Salad, The Patriot’s Platter, and then dessert.

Liberty Tree Tavern bread and butter

The meal begins with bread and the Declaration Salad. The bread is probably the highlight of the meal, soft, flaky rolls served with a sweet honey butter.

Declaration Salad

The salad is very standard, but good for what it is. I actually prefer the salad at the Diamond Horseshoe, but that is where compliments for that dining establishment end.

Liberty Tree Tavern macaroni and cheese

On to the main course, the macaroni and cheese is a highlight if you enjoy such a dish, but there’s nothing really special about it. Sometime you just want some good mac and cheese though, it doesn’t always need a gimmick.

Liberty Tree Tavern Patriot’s Platter

As for the meats, the turkey is always a highlight, cooked well enough and rather enjoyable. I thought the pork had a weird flavor to it and was a little fatty for my taste. The sliced prime rib was fine, although depending on the batch you end up with, it might more closely resemble an inferior piece of beef. There was some au jus on the side with it, which I would recommend dousing it with.

Liberty Tree Tavern Patriot’s Platter

Our second helping was much healthier, but the prime rib had a very different appearance.

Liberty Tree Tavern Patriot’s Platter

The mashed potatoes and the stuffing are just as good as I remember, and the seasonal vegetables were good enough.

Liberty Tree Tavern Bread Pudding

The dessert offered with the feast is the warm bread pudding. This was really good, but the entire time I was eating it, I just wished that I was at Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort (home of the world’s greatest bread pudding in my opinion). Also, the pieces of crust in here were really hard to chew, but otherwise the rest was moist and delicious.

OVERALL

Since the clam chowder and the cheeseburger stayed on the menu, my usual lunch order from Liberty Tree Tavern is still available, but it is hard to deny that this is a significant downgrade to the Liberty Tree Tavern. The Liberty Boys BLT with pork belly was delicious, the soup of the day was a nice offering, and the pot roast and cheaper Pilgrims’ Feast were a beloved mainstay of the menu, and now all of that is gone. In the short time we sat down for lunch, we saw two guests complain about the removal of the pot roast and Pilgrims’ Feast. The couple seated next to us up and left just minutes after being seated, and the table adjacent to them was given a “no strings” FastPass after complaining that they had to order something else.

While I occasionally find myself craving the comfort food of the “all you care to eat” offering, I would much rather have the diverse lunch menu and instead come to Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner if that is in fact what I wanted. Instead, you now have a restaurant that may only be a notch above the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon… and that’s bad… really bad.

I still enjoy the “all-you-care-to eat” meal, but the Magic Kingdom has changed a lot in the last few years. What was one of my favorite meals at the park (albeit originally with the added offering of Disney characters for dinner) now exists in a world with Skipper Canteen, the sweet and spicy chicken and waffle sandwich, and even a Pecos Bill’s menu that I really enjoy. In a brave-new-dining-world of far superior choices, I can’t in good conscious recommend a visit to Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch unless you really just want what is pictured above (and maybe the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake, because that is amazing). Otherwise, there are plenty of other fine restaurants at the Magic Kingdom, they just don’t exist along this street between Frontierland and Liberty Square.

RUMOR: Disney Has An Opening Date for Rivers of Light at Animal Kingdom and It’s Really Soon

WDWNT on October 31, 2016

I know that there has been a tremendous amount of speculation as to when Disney might be debuting Rivers of Light, the new nighttime show for Animal Kingdom (which is now a whopping 6 months late after being set to debut April 22nd, 2016), but it looks like we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Supposedly. Maybe.

“Rivers of Light,”the majestic nighttime jewel, coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom creates an illuminating musical experience for guests. Currently in development with a premiere date to be announced soon, “Rivers of Light” will celebrate the magic of animals, humans and the natural world with a blend of performers, floating lanterns and theatrical animal imagery. (David Roark, photographer)

If sources are to be believed, Disney is eyeing November 18th, 2016 as the official debut date for Rivers of Light. This is not set in stone and is still being discussed internally, but it seems highly likely at this point in time. This would be just days ahead of the Destination D event where it is believed D23 members in attendance will get to be a part of a private showing of the new nighttime spectacular.

Regardless, we expect an announcement from Disney very, very soon.

If it makes you feel any better, some cast members who have been present for recent dress rehearsals of Rivers of Light have called it “stunning”, “beautiful”, and one even went so far as to call it “the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life”. Color me excited for this one, folks.

PHOTO REPORT: Epcot 11/1/16 (New Retro EPCOT Center Merch, Margaritas Are Coming, Innoventions Update, ETC.)

WDWNT on October 31, 2016

Our latest photo report brings us to Epcot where a ton of new park-exclusive merchandise can be found. It is also a time of great change for the park, with Innoventions closing, construction in Mexico, and other projects around the park starting to take shape. Let’s take a look:

Muppet Mobile Labs

Muppet Mobile Labs is now wrapping up its one month stint at Epcot. It is likely to move to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but there has been no official word as of yet.

New Merchandise

Due to theft, limited edition pins are now being enclosed in glass cases at all store locations. This was unnecessary for the first 17 years of the hobby.

A ton of changes happened in MouseGear, with all of the merchandise being reorganized again. There is also a slew of new items for sale.

A variety of Tsum Tsum clothing is now available.

A new line of Epcot merchandise focusing on vintage logos and World Showcase was recently released. There is quite the variety of items available.

My personal favorite is this sweatshirt which features the original World Showcase logo icon with each country’s flag.

There is now a coaster to match the cup and plate featuring Spaceship Earth.

A new plush Figment hat for sale.

New shortbread cookies for sale, not sure why these are a thing but they are in most major stores now.

The Star Wars section has moved down to the other end of the store.

Moana merchandise was recently released at the parks.

The Maps of the Disney Parks book is available in MouseGear.

The LEGO Cinderella Castle is back in stock now.

The Canada pavilion recently started selling merchandise for the Le Cellier restaurant downstairs. You can see photos of the entire line in a separate post from a few weeks ago.

The Margaritas Strike Back

A new Margarita stand and a food stand are supposedly being constructed on the opposite side of the Mexico pavilion.

Walls are up on both sides leading us to believe it could be two stands.

VISA Character Meet and Greet

The new Disney VISA Cardmember Exclusive meet and greet recently opened at the Imagination pavilion. It is open daily from 1 PM until 7 (yeah, seven) PM.

Innoventions

Colortopia remains the last functioning piece of Innoventions.

Both sides, east and west, are now boarded up.

Goodbye Epcot, see ya’ real soon!

PizzeRizzo at Hollywood Studios Opens November 18th; Menu Revealed

WDWNT on October 31, 2016

PizzeRizzo – the classic family pizzeria owned by Rizzo – will open in Muppets Courtyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on November 18. While enjoying personal-sized pies, guests will find décor inspired by Rizzo, as well as his extended family and friends who have visited PizzeRizzo over the years throughout the two-story eatery. Be sure to head upstairs to Rizzo’s Deluxe Supreme Banquet Hall, where there’s a wedding reception already in progress; join the party and show off your best moves under the disco ball.

Disney today shared some details of the menu for the first time. Entrees are served with a side Caesar salad, and include personal-sized Pizza Pies, available in four varieties—vegetable, pepperoni, meat lovers and cheese, as well as a Meatball Sub. If you’re looking for a lighter option, the Antipasto Salad features a bed of Romaine lettuce piled high with tomatoes, Mozzarella, Kalamata olives, ham, pepperoni, salami and Balsamic Vinaigrette.

For dessert, indulge in traditional Italian sweets like Cannoli and Tiramisu. Specialty drinks will also be available, including a non-alcoholic Peach Bellini, and a Wildberry-Basil Lemonade Limoncello in addition to beer and wine for adults.

What do you think of PizzeRizzo?

PHOTO REPORT: Magic Kingdom 10/29/16 (Haunted Mansion, Tomorrowland Entrance Done, ETC.)

WDWNT on October 31, 2016

Our latest photo report brings us to the Magic Kingdom, as Halloween fades into Christmas… even though it isn’t even Halloween yet.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

The lamp from the rooms at the Polynesian is for sale again, JUST $300!!! (He says as he already owns one…)

Moana Mercantile has fittingly been taken over by Moana merchandise.

The Reyn Spooner Moana shirt retails for $118.00, but it’s pretty snazzy.

Welcome to the Magic Kingdom

Christmas and Halloween are fighting for the last few days of October.

Signage for Celebrate the Magic on Main Street will need to be changed as the show is departing on November 3rd.

Tomorrowland Rocks

The painting of the rocks at the entrance to Tomorrowland is finally complete.

Stitch’s Great Escape is closed seasonally through later this month, so for now it is stroller parking…

This and That

A new Dumbo MagicBand can be found in shops around the parks.

Moana phone cases are now available through D-Tech on Demand at the Tomorrowland Light and Power Company.

You can still make a Main Street Electrical Parade MagicBand, even though it is gone now.

The banners taken down for Hurricane Matthew in Storybook Circus are coming back very slowly. Part of that is Disney is also installing new ones currently since the old set was faded from the sun.

There are still Halloween Parties left, but Disney is selling the merchandise any old time now. Kind of frustrating for those who attended, they should at least wait until all of the Parties have happened.

I did find some new ladies shirts inside Big Top Souvenirs as well.

Columbia Harbor House now has a shrimp macaroni and cheese dish.

Yum?

TheÂ HauntedÂ Mansion

Most of the tarps are finally down at the Haunted Mansion.

The attraction exit is missing an awning right now.

The interactive queue is missing a covering as well.

Mousecellaneous

The pot roast and the Pilgrims’ Feast are gone from Liberty Tree Tavern, check out our lunch review for all of the info.

New “it’s a small world” pin, and the clock face actually moves on it which is pretty cool.

Halloween Party exclusive pins readily available on a non-party day.

The refurbishment of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad rolls on…

It was particularly busy on Wednesday, this was the FastPass line for Pirates of the Caribbean.

After seeing this line, Evinrude the dragonfly flew as far away as he could.

The Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse is back from its lengthy refurbishment and it is looking fantastic.

The only thing that seemed new to me was the no-slip flooring on the upper levels. I could be wrong, this sin’t an attraction I do very often.

OK, I think it is time to abolish the bays at Cosmic Rays when most of them are the same.

The BB-8 Souvenir Cup can now be found here as well.

The grilled chicken club is new to the menu.

The Electrical Parade shirts are still around (in select sizes).

There is an awful amount of construction happening down by the Magic Kingdom Ferry Dock.

Looks like a new queue area is being made.

Disney Springs Renames Festival of Holiday Trees to Christmas Tree Trail, Full List of Trees

WDWNT on October 31, 2016

Disney has already renamed the Festival of Holiday Trees for Disney Springs we told you about earlier in the week. The new name for the 15 tree walking path is the “Disney Springs’ Christmas Tree Trail.

Each tree is inspired by a different Disney character or story. During this walk-through experience, you’ll wind through a lovely winter wonderland complete with a gentle snow fall, toy soldiers, singers and plenty of opportunities for photos.

Below is a list of the planned tree themes:

Mickey and Minnie Mouse
Disney Villains
“Moana“
“Beauty and the Beast“
“The Little Mermaid“
“Cinderella“
“The Princess and the Frog“
“Alice in Wonderland“
“Frozen“
“The Jungle Book“
“Mulan“
“101 Dalmatians“
“Tangled“
“Mary Poppins“
The Muppets

The Disney Springs’ Christmas Tree Trail will debut on November 11th and will run through January 8, 2017.

Dr. Strange Meet and Greet Not Happening, Moana Preview Coming to Hollywood Studios

WDWNT on October 31, 2016

For a limited time starting November 5, a sneak peek of Disney’s next big adventure, the sweeping animated feature “Moana,” will be presented as part of the One Man’s Dream attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, offering guests an advance look at scenes from the film. The removal of the Doctor Strange preview shuts down any hope of a character meet and greet coming, despite Disney casting for actors to portray the hero. The work inside of One Man’s Dream is likely related to some sort of new theme park model, possibly for Pandora: The World of AVATAR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom or the Star Wars & Toy Story Lands at Hollywood Studios.

This special preview of “Moana” is also currently playing at Disneyland Resort, where guests can catch the sneak peek in Disney California Adventure park at the Bug’s Life Theater, featuring a 3D presentation with exclusive in-theater effects.

Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess and the Frog”), produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man Band”), and featuring music by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa‘i, “Moana” sails into theaters in 3D on November 23, 2016.

Drinks include Frozen S’Mores and Central 28 beers.

Feast of the Three Kings Feast near World Showcase Plaza pays homage to Three Kings Day, widely celebrated in Spain, Latin America and the Caribbean. Look for a shredded beef tamale with avocado crema; roasted pork with mashed yucca and pickled green bananas, and Three Kings Bread. Drinks will include a Coquito (coconut milk) and Coquito with rum floater.

Hot and cold drinks will be offered all around World Showcase, as well as holidays sweets such as the Mickey Santa Hat cupcake at Fountain View restaurant, chocolate honey baklava in Morocco, panettone (Italian Christmas cake) in Italy, gingerbread ice cream and buche de Noel au chocolat (Christmas cake shaped like a log) in France, pai cha (Beijing-style fried dough twist with sesame) in China and guava tamales in Mexico.

Guests visiting the Aristocrepes will now find popcorn, Mickey pretzels and cheese, assorted chips, and beverages. Beginning from Friday, November 11, Aristocrepes will transition to a seasonal operation and menu, serving a variety of holiday beverages including hot chocolate, unique cocktails, and more when open.
