Eventually, they rearranged what little indoor space they had and added a few tables. This helped, but it wasn’t the solution they needed. So a couple of months ago … Continue reading "Wolfgang Puck Express — Marketplace"

Liberty Tree Tavern Pagers

Posted on by Jack Spence
A very old tradition has died at the Liberty Tree Tavern at the Magic Kingdom. In the past, when guests checked in at the podium, they were asked what state they were from.
