Tortuga Tavern to offer special "Island Dinner Buffet" during the Christmas break season.

For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.

Christmas break at Walt Disney World is the busiest time of the year, so the dining team attempts to ramp up the offerings to help all those people with the Disney Dining Plan have a place to eat. The Tomorrowland Terrace and Golden Horseshoe are regularly open during the break and they open many more carts than usual to assist guests. For 2013 the Magic Kingdom will experiment with a special, but pricey, all you care to eat buffet at Tortuga Tavern in Adventureland.

From December 21 through January 4 Tortuga tavern will offer a special “Island Dinner Buffet” from 5:00 to 9:00 pm nightly. The cost of the buffet will be $17.99 for children 3 to 9 years of age and $35.99 for adults 10 and over. Only in a theme park does a person become an adult at 10 year of age! Gratuity is not included.

If you have a table service to burn or can’t find a reservation elsewhere, this could be an option for you. You can make reservations here.
