Liberty Tree Tavern reservation alerts

A tavern feast in Liberty Square

Liberty Tree Tavern is done as an eighteenth-century inn, with low ceilings, wooden floors and a set of rooms each themed to a figure from the period. It is one of the quietest places to sit down inside Magic Kingdom, which is worth something in itself by mid-afternoon.

The dinner service is family-style: platters of roast turkey, pot roast and pork arrive at the table with mashed potatoes, stuffing and vegetables, and they keep coming. It reads as a holiday meal served every day of the year.

Why it books out

Magic Kingdom has relatively few table-service restaurants for the number of guests it holds, and Liberty Tree Tavern is the one people default to when they want a substantial meal rather than a character experience.

The family-style format also means each table turns more slowly than a menu-service restaurant, so the same dining room offers fewer sittings across an evening.

When tables reappear

In-park restaurants see heavy late churn, because a party’s plans for a given day change far more often than their trip dates do. Liberty Tree Tavern regularly shows nothing for weeks and then a table two days out.

Park Drop watches for those and alerts you by email and text the moment one matches your dates and party size. It is a regular on the list of hardest Disney World dining reservations for good reason.
