Food Type: Snacks, Hot Dogs, Frozen Slushes, Fruit, Corn on the Cob, Baked Potatoes.

Menu:

The Baked Sweet Potato is only offered when it’s “in season.”

Unique Items: Baked Sweet Potato, Baked Potato.

Advantages:

• Lines are usually short, making it easy to pick up a quick beverage or snack.
• Since Disney added more tables and took away the chairs with backs, seating is more plentiful, but also more uncomfortable.
• The Baked Potato is a hearty, relatively inexpensive snack that’s on the healthy side.
• There’s something about eating a $2 corn on the cob in the most popular theme park in the world.

Disadvantages:

• Seating is uncomfortable and uncovered.
• Limited options.

Value: Average on the fruit, snacks, hot dog, and chips, as they’re standard Disney pricing.  The potatoes and corn are better values.

Reputation: You won’t hear a lot of people talking about Liberty Square Market as most people pass right by on their way to Splash Mountain, Peter Pan’s Flight, Haunted Mansion, or another attraction.  It’s perfectly decent for what it is and while it’s obvious and visible, most people pass by, making waits short.

Food Choices:

Baked Potato:

What you see is what you get – there’s no “toppings bar,” which means no cheese, bacon, and other stuff. Just a packet of sour cream and some butter, with some “Mickey salt” sprinkled on top. Not a whole lot to say about this. It is what it is – I will say that it was served nice and hot and baked “very well.” If you’re looking for a baked potato, this is your spot. Not necessarily a compelling value at $3.29, but not necessarily terrible either. You could do a lot worse.

Corn on the Cob:

It’s on the small side and comes with two little tubs of butter and a bunch of salt/pepper packets. This was prepared well just like the potato and served nice and hot. Not a bad way to spend $2, especially as temperatures drop.

Baked Sweet Potato:

Today we have our eyes on the Sweet Potato.  Which comes with a bucket of cheese!  YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This was really good and larger than I was expecting.  Served hot, it was just what you would expect from a sweet potato.  It has salt rubbed on the skin and comes alongside an ounce of sour cream and two little butter containers.  This would be a great use of a snack credit if you’re looking for something that’s actually food.  Most of the “food” items aren’t included as snack credits, including the regular Baked Potato.  Not that there’s anything wrong with ice cream and candy, mind you.  This one comes highly recommended.  A nice value at $3.29.

Since we took a look at the Hot Dog at Storybook Hot Dog, I won’t rehash that here.  It’s a decent amount of food for the money, but nothing special.

Seating:

Disney switched out the cushioned chairs with backs for these Pecos Bill style stools back in July 2012. It does make it more likely that tables will be available because people are less likely to stick around without food, but they’re uncomfortable and uncovered. You can also opt to take your food inside to air-conditioned Columbia Harbour House, which is only a minute’s walk away.
