Welcome to another installment of my Patriotic Disney Series. This time let me show you around Liberty Square.
Walt Disney loved America so much that much of his work paid tribute to the American Spirit. Many of Walt’s live action movies took place during the early years of our country, as did many of his theme park attractions which followed. His earliest audio-animatronic creation was President Lincoln for Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln at the 1964 World’s Fair.
Liberty Square is located in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Here you can walk into an area of the theme park built to resemble Colonial America. The buildings are all in the Colonial and Federal style. There are a lot of things to see in Liberty Square besides the theme park attractions. There is a giant live oak called the Liberty Tree which is over 135 years old, a reproduction of the Liberty Bell, and there is even a set of stocks in case someone gets out of line.

A Patriotic Theme
Everything in Liberty Square has a patriotic theme, from the attractions to the restaurants. You’ll be immersed in history! The flags of the original thirteen colonies as well as the American flag fly proudly in the center of the square. The Liberty Bell replica was cast from a mold of the original bell. In the evening scan the upstairs windows to find Paul Revere’s lanterns signifying “two if by sea”.
Things to see and do in Liberty Square are:
