Character meal at Liberty Tree Tavern Jan-Feb 2010 (Breakfast Menu added to 1st post)

[Hobbes]

Does anyone know when thjey will tell us who the characters are and what the menus are? We'd accepted that we couldn't brekkie with Tigger like I wanted, but we were palnning on LTT for lunch. Obviously if its Tigger and Co then we can still go but knowing my luck it will be Princesses.....

Minnie, Pluto, Chip and Dale

I hope this isn't true. I was really looking forward to seeing Minnie, especially in her pretty dress!

Minnie, Pluto, Chip and Dale

Ooh, thank you for the info! Hope you don't mind my asking, how do you know this, is it for sure? This is what I was hoping for myself, even though we are two adults, myself and DD19. Still love to mee the characters! Haven't seen Chip and Dale in a long time, and love Minnie and Pluto!

Anyone know yet it if the menu for lunch and dinner will be the same for both, and the same as the usual family style dinner they usually offer?

Also still wondering if you can request a window seat anywhere in here to watch the parade while eating?

 

[Minniekins]

Thanks very much, I appreciate your answering! Especially since I guess I goofed, I just found another thread on the same topic that opened the other day! I looked for one before opening this thread but guess I missed it. Hopefully they will get it together and have breakfast ressie's available this week, sounds like lots of guests would like to make an ADR then!

Just to let you know, I just got my itinerary back from Poly's IPO. I have a LTT breakfast scheduled for 1/23 at 8:15am.

Also, they confirmed it's a character meal, but could not confirm which characters.

Good luck to all others

I was told it was chip and dale, minnie and goofy or pluto.

Here is what the concierge folks sent me about the breakfast:

The Liberty Tree will be serving breakfast during your stay and featuring Minnie, Pluto, Chip and Dale for characters though as usual they are subject to subsitution. The menu Served Family-Style consists of
Starter Plate: Fruit Bowl, Croissant Monkey Bread, Biscuits, Orange Butter.
Meat Platter: Bacon, Sausage, Grilled Ham, Breakfast Potatoes. Scrambled Eggs and Peach French Toast Casserole with Maple Butter. Grits and Oatmeal available upon request.
Price: Adult: $22.36, Child (3-9): $12.77

[that would be 20.99 and 11.99 before tax]

I have been calling daily for a week with no luck!! today I finally asked to speak to a manager to get a table. I got a breakfast reservation for 815 on Jan 9th. I was hoping to get an earlier table but was told this is the earliest they have. There is a major glitch in their system for booking breakfast there so I will try later once it is fixed to get an earlier time. I like a ressie for 745 so we can be done by rope drop..815 is cutting it a little close. She still couldn't tell me a price or what food was offered.

I have never been offered a 7:45am breakfast inside the park. They have a special turnstyle for breakfast folks and they usually let you in through the turnstyle at 7:45 but rope you off by the train station until closer to 8am.

The earliest breakfast seating in ANY park that I am aware of would be around 8:05am! Only the resorts have earlier seatings starting at 7am or so!

So i've read that liberty tree will be serving family style all you can eat for breakfast lunch and dinner while the crystal palace is down for refurbishment.... and it'll have characters.. Does anyone know what characters?? AAAAAAND Since liberty tree doesnt normally serve breakfast what will breakfast be like?? And since lunch is usually "order off a menu" what will that menu be like?? Any ideas??

Thanks for posting this! Looks like a good menu!

I had the same problem for the past 3 days. It took a patient CM who put me on hold while she called Guest Services. That was the key. Talk to a CM, explain that others are making resevations, as there are issues with the reservation system, and that she please put you on hold and talk to Guest Services. They were the ones that made the reservation for me.

I feel your frustration!!!

 

[heycher]

Same thing happened here. I did have a patient CM.... who was willing to me insist that I knew different. But I got the "there is no breakfast at LTT". I had to really push, and eventually she brought in guest services who were able to find the openings for the date i wanted (Jan 15). Sure enough, I now have an ADR for 9:10am at LTT yay! (too bad it's for my friend and not me!)

 

[ppan77]

I hope they get their ducks in a row before Oct. 27th. I have January dates that open up that day!! All I am calling for is LTT everything else I will do online.

 

[BlakesMom]

Has anyone heard for sure whether there will be characters at dinner at LTT? I thought there were going to be characters at B, L, & D, but I got my itinerary from the IPO today and it said my LTT was not a character dinner for Jan. 18th.

 

[Tricia1972]

CMs and Managers that I spoke with this morning are positive that LTT breakfast is not loaded into the system. Perhaps because I am looking at 1/22 or later?

Even though I tried 4-5 separate times, I am not too worried about getting it. If we can't get these reservations without jumping through hoops and getting hung up in this much red tape, it's not like LTT will be full when they are finally released to the general system.

The nice thing is that I am getting very consistent information and all of the CMs have been wonderfully nice.

 

[Camping Griswalds]

I am arriving 1/23, so I think that means I can book my ADR's on 10/23 right? Anyway, would love to eat at LTT for breakfast before park opening on the 29th. Hope they get it all straight!

According to the ADR calculator - http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/pscalc/dispscalc.html your ADR window opens on Oct 25th!

 

[Tricia1972]

Ok, I finally got the info on LTT breakfast and I have to say that I spoke with the absolute best CM ever. Pity that he doesn't have a direct line, I'd call him every time. Funny, nice and knowledgeable. As you all know, that's an almost impossible trifecta.

LTT is NOT loaded in the system, and outside of pulling amazing strings nobody can book it. This CM went into the system and looked at the restaurant to see what was booked for breakfast at LTT in January. There were about half a dozen breakfast reservations total in the system. He wasn't sure if they were dummies or real reservations. (He didn't see anything on Jan 15 or Jan 16 I asked specifically because I thought we had some bookings that morning. You may want to call back with your confirmation number to make sure that you're on the books if you've reserved for one of those mornings.)

So we know it's not on the system, and our best guess is that someone with a lot of power was able to flip a switch and perhaps load a single reservation into the system and book it, which is why we're seeing a few people here who have reserved LTT for breakfast.

There is definitely someone with an 8:15 on January 22, so if it's a fellow board member giving you an early shout out, because we're shooting for an 8-ish reservation on the 22 ourselves.
