Hi Friends!

This week I wanted to share Mark and my experience at the Liberty Tree Tavern in Magic Kingdom. It’s been years since I’ve been here and we thought we would give it a try for lunch! I will be honest, when it comes to dining at Magic Kingdom, the options for a quality, sit down meal are slim.

I was so happy when I looked at the menu because lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern is almost identical to the all-you-can-eat platter at Garden Grill in Epcot! (Which is one of Mark and my favorite indulges!) While you aren’t greeted by Chip and Dale (like at Garden Grill), you do have the incredible opportunity of stepping out of a busy Magic Kingdom and enjoying a quiet dining experience. We were seated in an adorable little sunlit nook that definitely didn’t feel like we were in Magic Kingdom at all!

Mark and I chose to get the all-you-care-to-enjoy Bill of Fare. When it comes to the menu, I am the Allergy Queen! That’s right, I get the big, ugly red stamp of shame on all my Disney receipts! Jokes aside, gluten and dairy are my offenders and I was absolutely AMAZED by the gluten free all-you-can-eat menu!!

CAUTION: The next few photos will make you REALLY hungry so just be prepared for all the amazing food you are about to see.

Above is the Declaration Salad, Tossed Mixed Greens with House-Made Dressing. This was an amazing mix but maybe ask for light dressing or on the side because it was pretty dressing heavy.

All drinks and coffee are included in the platter package which meant tons of amazing Disney chocolate milk! They brought us bread with the salad. They had GF bread but gluten free friends beware, this is the Udis roll which isn’t my personal favorite as it’s always cold and hard by the time it gets to the table. Bummer.

Now the moment you’ve all been waiting for……the Patriot's Platter!

Here’s what’s included…. Roasted Turkey Breast, Pot Roast, and Oven-roasted Pork with Mashed Potatoes, Seasonal Vegetables, Herb Stuffing, and House-made Macaroni and Cheese.

Let me just say this was like a Thanksgiving dinner from heaven. The gluten free version was pretty much the exact same as Mark’s regular platter, besides the GF gravy and GF mac and cheese. The pot roast was by far my favorite and was almost like butter. About 10 minutes into our lunch, I was drooling over the gluten filled herb stuffing on Mark’s plate that I couldn’t have. I’ve had a gluten intolerance for 5 years now and I am pretty numb to the fact that you can’t have everything gluten free and I was already so grateful for all the GF food they had provided me. But then the most magical thing happened!!! (You all probably think I’m crazy but GF friends will get this) I moved the turkey on my plate and what was hiding underneath was no other than the most AMAZING GLUTEN FREE STUFFING. There might have been tears of joy! Liberty Tree definitely scored major points here!

The food was all so incredible but very rich and I didn’t even have room to take advantage of ordering another plate. There was just SO MUCH FOOD! We were overwhelmed….but in a good way.

So all this seems like enough, right?!!? Not for Disney…..there’s more!

*Keep Scrolling*

Mark’s face says it all. YEP! Without even asking, they brought out this massive dessert platter consisting of an Oooey Gooey Toffee Cake which was Vanilla Cake with Gooey Toffee Filling, Caramel Sauce, and Vanilla Ice Cream. Poor Mark!! None of this was gluten free (or else I would have helped) and he is not a huge dessert person, so this pretty much just sat here for photos.

They gave me a super yummy Raspberry Sorbet which was both GF & Dairy free. Also, to refer back to the mac and cheese, that did have dairy and I splurged. *face palm*

I hope this little GF food guide was helpful! I definitely recommend trying Liberty Tree for lunch. It’s such a great break from the heat of the day and busy counter service lunch crowds!

Let me know what your thoughts on this adorable restaurant are in the comments below!

Have a Magical Day!

Hi Everyone!

I've been waiting to make this post for several months now and can't wait to share these amazing deals I found recently! As you know, merch in the Disney parks can be kind of pricy. When I'm not in the parks, you can find me thrifting and hunting down the best deals! In today's post, I am sharing a solution to pricy park merch!

If you're an Orlando native or Disney enthusiast, you've probably heard of the Disney Character Warehouse or Character Outlet. The warehouse has two locations just outside of Disney property. This is where all the overstock and seasonally outdated Disney items (such as Christmas/Halloween things) go. Shopping here is an awesome way to fulfill your Disney craving with HUGE savings! Most items are 25-50% off original price and sometimes even more.

Most often times the merch is from Walt Disney World and Disneyland however, they just got in a massive shipment from Shanghai Disney! *GASP*

Hope you enjoy this special haul from the Character Warehouse!
