Dining on Main Street U.S.A

The Crystal Palace is located at the end of Main Street U.S.A. and is actually the only location in all of the Magic Kingdom that literally sits within two lands. If you look close enough you will see that The Crystal Palace is located within Main Street U.S.A. AND Adventureland! While this is a table service meal, it is also considered a character dining experience as well. The Crystal Palace,  a beautiful, Victorian-era inspired restaurant, is one of the five table service restaurants located in the Magic Kingdom park and is the perfect place to enjoy a sit-down meal and quiet that rumbling in your tummy.  Winnie the Pooh and his friends make an appearance at all three meals  so, as you can imagine, the restaurant is quite popular.  Advance dining reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance and, given it’s popularity, those advance dining recommendations are highly recommended.

The Plaza Restaurant is a family-friendly table service restaurant where you can dine on casual American food with the most perfect view of Cinderella Castle.

If you are looking to indulge in hand-scooped ice cream, Plaza Ice Cream Parlor is where you need to go! This sweetly nostalgic ice cream parlor is located on Main Street, U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom park. Guests can savor floats, fresh waffle-bowl sundaes smothered in hot fudge and Mickey cones with chocolate ears! Have special dietary needs? Plaza Ice Cream Parlor has both fat and sugar-free options available.

Tony’s Town Square Restaurant is a very popular location as this is where you can dine in the very restaurant that Lady and The Tramp had their first kiss! Tony’s Town Square Restaurant brings to life the famous “spaghetti sharing” scene from Disney’s Lady and the Tramp, and immerses its diners in the animated world of some of the most beloved Disney characters. Here you will find salads, pastas and other Italian entrees.

Casey’s Corner hits it out of the park  every single time with their all American baseball favorites: hot dogs, nachos, corn dog nuggets, French fries, cotton candy and Cracker Jack. Located at the end of Main Street U.S.A., Casey’s Corner is a fan favorites and serves up some of the best hot dogs in all of the Magic Kingdom Park.   Soft drinks and other beverages are available. For the full menu, click here.

While at the Magic Kingdom, you’ll want to make a stop at Main Street Bakery where delicious goodies are served all day long! At Main Street Bakery, you can start your day with a tasty cup of coffee or a mouthwatering treat. The menu selection includes STARBUCKS® Coffee and specialty beverages, along with Disney baked goods and La Boulange™ pastry items. Should you be looking for the famous Main Street Bakery cinnamon roll, it has been moved and can now be found at Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland!

---

The Haunted Mansion

The Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort is home to 999 happy haunts, several of which “reside” in the graveyard outside the gothic manor in the park’s Liberty Square area.  Make yourself at “tomb sweet tomb” in the home of 999 happy haunts, where there’s “always room for one more.” Inside, hop on a Doom Buggy to get in the “spirit” of things. Experience the stretching room, the séance and hitchhiking ghosts in this Disney classic. While many are afraid of this ride, it is more “campy” than “frightening.

 Liberty Belle Riverboat

Hall of Presidents

The Hall of Presidents is a celebration of Liberty’s Leaders. Prior to being seated for the 25-minute show, Guests get an entertaining lesson in American history as they explore the art and artifacts attendant to America’s chief executives. Marvel at how theatrical magic brings you up close and personal to all of the Presidents of the United States. This sweeping tribute is a Disney classic. In a one-of-a-kind combination of dazzling widescreen film, breath-taking Audio Animatronics® and Disney storytelling, all 44 U. S. presidents gather to hear the words of Abraham Lincoln.

DIStracted Tip: This is a great place to cool off during the heat of the Summer, let babies nap, or escape from the rain. Otherwise, we typically avoid this attraction. If you have seen it once, there really is no reason to see it again unless you are an American History buff! Chances are your children will be bored to tears.

Liberty Tree

The “Liberty Tree” in Liberty Square stands as the largest living specimen in the Magic Kingdom and is the largest tree ever transplanted on Walt Disney World property. The 100-year old southern Live Oak was found on the east side of the Walt Disney World property about eight miles from its current location. Preparations to move the 38-ton tree began a year prior to moving it when it was discovered that the root ball measured 18 feet by 16 feet by 4 feet deep. It was so large that it was impossible to lift it by simply wrapping a cable around it. Bill Evans, Walt Disney’s hand-picked landscaper,  had come up with an innovative method where holes were drilled through the hardwood center of the trunk and steel rods inserted. These rods on the Liberty Tree served as handles for hoisting and hauling the tree with a 100-ton crane to its present location.

Dining in Liberty Square

 

Liberty Tree Tavern is a “stately colonial inn” serving up traditional New England fare. 

Columbia Harbour House is a great quick service location for sandwiches, salads and fish and chips. My favorite thing about this restaurant is the Cast Members stand outside ringing the bell!

The Diamond Horseshoe is a quick service location serving up American fare in a Country – Western atmosphere.
