We LOVE a good Disney World food hack, and we like to think we’re the experts when it comes to finding ways to make dining on your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth just a little bit easier.

The Patriot’s Platter

While Magic Kingdom restaurants aren’t always our favorite, there’s one that’s often a crowd pleaser for many — and because of that, it can sometimes be hard to snag a reservation. BUT! There’s actually a different Magic Kingdom restaurant that’s easier to get into, and it features the SAME exact menu. Soon enough, though, this Magic Kingdom restaurant hack is disappearing!

Liberty Tree Tavern is a popular restaurant in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square that serves up a Thanksgiving feast all year long. While the menu isn’t anything too exciting, the food here is consistent, crowd-pleasing, and don’t even get us started on the delicious Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake! 🤤

You can have a Thanksgiving feast year-round at Liberty Tree Tavern

But, because this restaurant is so popular, it can be hard to snag a reservation. What most people don’t tend to realize, though, is that a different restaurant in Magic Kingdom has the exact same menu, and is often MUCH easier to snag a reservation for.

Also located in Liberty Square, The Diamond Horseshoe has a rich history that blends into the park’s old-timey, Americana vibe. It’s designed to evoke the Wild West saloons of yesteryear, where cowboys would gather for a hearty meal and some entertainment. The restaurant serves up a themed dining experience with unlimited servings of classic American holiday favorites. Think Thanksgiving dinner, but with Disney flair — just like Liberty Tree Tavern.

But, starting next month, you won’t be able to dine at The Diamond Horseshoe, because it’s closing to make way for a NEW experience! 

The Diamond Horseshoe will temporarily close on May 16th to make way for a NEW experience featuring Toy Story characters as part of Cool Kids’ Summer 2026. Get ready for a rootin’ tootin’ good time as Jessie, Woody, and friends join diners for some “energetic fun” at Jessie’s Roundup! 

Hi from Woody and Jessie!

This experience will feature iconic Toy Story characters, plus crafts, dancing, and maybe even some yodeling! Disney hasn’t released too many details on it, but we’re pretty excited to be able to experience it ourselves once it’s open.

Jessie’s Roundup will run from May 26th through September 8th at The Diamond Horseshoe, and while Disney hasn’t officially made any announcements about what’s happening after that, we anticipate that the restaurant will reopen as a full dining experience after that.

We can’t wait to check out this new experience, and we’ll be bringing you everything you need to know about it as soon as we do. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more.
