The Quest for Liberty Tree Tavern...
Ok so like I said before, I knew what we had to do!!
Take the Monorail from the Grand Floridian back to the Magic Kingdom, hop a bus back to our resort, RUN LIKE THE WIND to our rooms, change as fast as possible, RUN LIKE THE WIND back to the bus stop, and hop another bus back to the Magic Kingdom - all this in 1 hour and 15 minutes!!!
So by the time we made it to the bus station at Magic Kingdom, we didn't have to wait too too long in line. I remember constantly asking Jason, "
WHAT TIME IS IT?"
I was so mad at myself and nervous thinking we wouldn't make it back in time to our ADR's!!!
When we arrived at the Resort, Jason and I
RAN off the bus
(in our formal wear) and
RAN back to our room to change ... what a sight!!
THANK GOODNESS that our room wasn't too far from the bus stop! We would have been in serious trouble if it were!!!
As we returned to the bus stop, a little family was sitting on the benches waiting on the EPCOT bus. They looked at us and said, "
Weren't you the ones who just got off that bus all dressed up?"
When we said yes, they said, "
Well my goodness y'all changed fast!!"
We told them the story of what happened and they said that quite a few MK busses had been back and forth through the bus stop since they had been waiting so it shouldn't be long before we saw a bus. They were right!! In no time, an MK bus was pulling up to our stop!!
We arrived at Magic Kingdom at
SEVEN TWENTY!!! And as we hurried (ran) almost ... lol to the Liberty Tree Tavern,
we made it with FIVE MINUTES TO SPARE!!!!
THANK GOD!! I felt like I could finally breathe again...hehe!
Here once again, they had a special table ready for us complete with Mickey Mouse Confetti shaped into a heart!!
Jason and I loved the atmosphere and the food here! They started you off with a few rolls and a salad. This is definitely a place I would eat at again!!
Our food included Mashed Potatoes, Macaroni and Cheese, Ham, Turkey, Roast Beef, Dressing, and Gravy.......so good!!!
We had apple pie for dessert. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture!
The characters were very cool, too!!
It had been nice all week....at each restaurant, the people sitting at the table next to us would offer to take our picture together with the characters!
Dale came by twice.....we didnt' realize it until after he signed the autograph book twice!! I guess the people inside the costumes changed and he started his rounds again.
Out of all the characters that we saw, Goofy was the funniest!!
