Liberty Tree Tavern

Image: DisneyWhen we talk about family meals, the ones from the holidays often linger in our minds the most. Everyone has a tradition for Thanksgiving and Christmas, a few foods that remind them of these meals. And most of those menu items are available at Liberty Tree Tavern. You’ll find ham and turkey and dressing and stuffing and yeast rolls and corn and mashed potatoes. I could go on, but you get the point. Most of the foods that you associate with passing around plates at a giant dinner table are on display here. In combination with the American heritage of the restaurant’s theme, it’s a wonderful place to break break.

Chef Mickey’s

There, everyone fills three plates with food and either pigs out enough to have to undo the belt or ends up with two full plates of food left over. Each family has people who fall into both categories. My grandmother used to drive us crazy with how wasteful she was about buffet food.

Chef Mickey’s takes that concept of family buffets and adds something spectacular into the mix. It introduces Mickey and Minnie Mouse plus Donald Duck and other beloved Disney characters. The cartoon animals that you loved as a child come over to your table and entertain you. In a way, it’s like Old Country Buffet combined with Chuck E. Cheese, which is basically the ultimate family restaurant since it has something for children and adults alike.
