.Well, just give me Liberty Tree Tavern!
Now we were heading off to one of my favorite spots for dinner! Liberty Tree Tavern! Quick...you are trapped on a desert island with only one food choice forever...what would you pick?
I would choose a food with a high density nutritional value...stuffing!!!
Oh wait, did I say nutritional, I meant tastiness.
There was quite a crowd!! I found a spot to wait at the fireplace and leaned up against the flamesless spot.
Finally our party from the great State of Virginia!! was called out.
For those who have never been, at dinner time, you have basically one (delicious) choice:
Declaration Salad - Tossed Mixed Greens with Vinaigrette Dressing
and the
Patriot's Platter - Roasted Turkey Breast, Carved Beef, and Smoked Pork Loin with Mashed Potatoes, seasonal Vegetables, Herb Bread Stuffing, and Macaroni & Cheese
We do not eat meat, so a bit of a rip off for us. This is still one of my favorite places for dinner (in fact was my #1 until we went to California Grill this trip!). But there is some protein in the mac and cheese I think. First time we went our waiter was so nice and helpful and substituted a veggie burger for the meats. The time we went in October though, our waitress was missing some Ye Ole hospitality and was like no to substitutions. Then this time, we had a waiter who brought us 2 quinoa burgers without us even asking!
I also enjoy that there are no characters around. Blasphemy, I know! The only negative I can see is the limited restrooms. Way too small for a restaurant that size!
So...much
.deliciousness
There was no stuffing though. Will says to me that maybe since we got the Quinoa burgers, we would not be given the stuffing. My face fell as I tried to understand this logic. I had been eating well and exercising for months. One of my motivations had been imaging the stuffing and eating all I wanted. Will panicked when he saw my face and started backpedalling saying, I am sure stuffing is coming! Dont be sad! Ill go back there and cook it myself!
Drama was unnecessary as shortly, our waiter dropped off this beauty:
We were so full, and it looked like we had hardly touched our food! We felt we could not get the Dessert because we would only take a few bites and felt that was a waste. Now if the dessert was something chocolate, we would have ordered it, but the Appleseed Cake was not worth it to us.
I felt uncomfortably full as we waddled out of LTT. I knew we would not be up for anything wild, so we got a FP+ for Under the Sea!
I love happy endings
Overall, I felt the FP+ system worked really well for us today. It seems to be especially beneficial if you are getting to the park late on your arrival day. FP+ pre-planned.
We felt satisfied with the day, and also pretty exhausted. We decided to take the Train from FL to Main street and give our feet a little rest.
We made it back in time to shower, get some desserts from the lounge, and for WISHES!
Goodnight my friends! I can't believe that was just our first day!
