Is your drink included in the price of the meal? If you got a soda?

Was wondering this too. Might be nice to have a xmas meal at Disney next December.

Never had the salad . What is the house dressing? Is it like a oil and vingar?

Yes, usually non-alcoholic regular beverages are Included with AYCE.

Thank you !
Have you had the salad? What do the dressing remind you of?

Any news about the a la carte lunch menu returning to liberty tree tavern.

It’s a light vinaigrette, very tasty. I would say like an oil, vinegar and honey based dressing. I asked for the recipe years ago and I believe it was called Honey Shallot Vinaigrette.

It's all about the $$$.

No, and I’d bet good money it won’t return. Why would disney serve made to order dishes for $20 when it could sell out a restaurant serving mass-produced cafeteria food on a platter for $40?

I think they ate their salad a year ago. Zombie thread.

yes, they tried to take it away years ago, but got so much feedback it came back. Sadly I crossed it off our list for now. I think I’m down to 3 places we eat at now. Thank goodness we always have a car.

Unfortunately I agree with you. When it was a la carte, I could get my fill, including the Ooey Gooey Toffee cake, for about $30. Now that's not happening, and as previously stated, there's no incentive for them to return to a la carte.

If its "too heavy" for lunch just.......don't eat as much?

 

[BoardWalkBelle]

It looks like all of the menus for MK restaurants are the same for lunch and dinner. Makes things easier I guess.
ETA: Diamond Horseshoe does have different lunch and dinner menus.

Diamond Horseshoe is not serving. It is overflow seating for Liberty Tree Tavern since reopening last year.

But you're paying a lot more for the AYCTE meal than you would a la carte, it feels like a waste of money to still go and just not eat much.

i agree. LT lunch was such a good option for our family, from the picky tweens/teens to the always dieting young adults, to us old folks who can’t eat the stuff we once could (sadly). I can’t justify that price for one tween eating a hand full of French fries.

Do they have french fries? Our picky eater DS might actually eat there then.

Not shocked.

Menus have to be minimized. With less employees allowed in the kitchen, finance issues, possible stocking issues, and less guests it would be stupid to keep the whole menu available. That would be WAY too much food to keep on hand when you are not making nearly as much money as you used to be.

As for LTT... the best known menu option is the AYCTE platter. I bet it is the best selling option to. So for Disney, that is the one to keep. It's simple logic.

Unfortunately AYCTE means those that choose not to consume a lot subsidize those that eat 4 servings of everything.

And subsidize those who eat more? No thank you!

I did notice some of the newer family style places (e.g. Sebastian's) are no longer AYCTE, so Disney seems to have clued in they can charge a steep fixed price for family style whether or not it is AYCTE. I think the price is more about the fact that they CAN get away with charging that much because so many more people want a meal in the AC than there are sit-down restaurants available, and because LTT has nostalgia value, than it is about the actual food consumption. I'd be willing to bet the number of people who order multiple portions at AYCTE places is relatively small.

So, they don't even get to eat in the tavern? What is the point then?

I hope people largely stop going so that they bring back the options. When I was planning pre-lockdown, this was a high priority meal. I have a crush on Jefferson. But, we aren't interested in a Thanksgiving meal. We don't even serve that on Thanksgiving, we have lasagna. My thought was that we'd order in reverse, so starting with the toffee cake.
