Just got back and had a great time! Tried all new restaurants and were please with almost all of them. Checked in with the hostess 15 minutes before the reservation time and we were seated within 5 minutes. Everywhere we went people were turned away, no walkins allowed.
11/30 Dinner at Wolfgang Pucks Express in DTD. I had a cup of the Butternut Squash Soup and the Pesto Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich. The soup was out of this world but very rich and filling, three spoonfuls and I was done. The sandwich was a pulled rotisserie chicken in a pesto mayo type dressing, fresh and flavorful red tomatoes, red onion and leafy dark greens in a vinagrette dressing on a parmesan focaccia bread. Wow this was wonderful and full of flavor...so much going on that in every bite you could taste all the great flavors separately.
DH had the Caesar Salad and the Rotisserie Chicken with Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The salad was very good, crisp and cold and served on a flatbread, like a salad pizza. The chick was huge, tasty and the skin was crispy. There was a huge serving of potatoes with butter, they were very good.
The portions are so huge and we did share with each other...too much food but so worth it!
Ghiradelli's: we shared a frozen Mocha Coffee...too strong and bitter...yuck!
12/1 Breakfast at Crystal Palace 8:30. This was our first time for breakfast and were looking forward to it. The fruit was so flavorful and ripe we had a huge plate of it., the watermelon and strawberries were the best. The bacon was crisp, the sausage was not greasy at all, the eggs were so creamy and fluffy, the puffed french toast was a nice treat, the breakfast lasagne was ok, DH did not care for it, very good biscuits and gravy, the coffee cake was dried out and hard but the cinnamon donut holes more than made up for it. Nice fresh and strong coffee. In our opinion this is the best breakfast and we will for sure be back.
We were so full from our great breakfast that we had a snack at the Roaring Forks around 1:30. DH had the pizza, just ok. I had the cheeseburger and again it was just ok. To us they are like frozen items and the taste the same throughout WDW.
We were supposed to have dinner at the Grand Floridian Cafe but were too full so we headed over to the MVMCP instead. We had a late dinner at PecoBills. DH got the kids Sloppy Joe plate with fries and grapes...just enough for him. I had the Chicken Wrap with carrots and man was it good. The salad was cold and crisp and it was so huge I could only eat half of it.
12/2 Breakfast at Kona. LOVE this place...will eat there again next trip. We shared a fruit bowl, the best pineapple ever! You could tell they put the fruit bowl together when ordered because the pineapple acidy taste was not on the other fruits...you know when you make a fruit salad with fresh pineapple everything can take over that taste? Not so with this large bowl of fruit. We also shared 2 pressed pots of coffee, wow this was wonderful and kept us energized all day. DH had the Tonga Toast with bacon, one mouthful and he said this was a must from now on. It was not too sweet, it was just right and I made sure I got more than one bite! The bacon was crisp and cooked perfectly. I had the Eggs Benedict with Potatoes. The eggs were cooked perfect, the muffin was toasted and not soggy. There were plenty of potatoes which I shared with DH, they were also very flavorful.
At Epcot we went to Chinaand shared an order of Egg Rolls (delicious) and Beef Fried Rice (better than I thought it would be, big portion and very tasty) and a few Lotus Blossom Peach Oolong Ice Teas, these are so good and refreshing we each had 2! DH wanted to get a slice of pizza from the Spoodles take out window, he fell in love with it 2 years ago. This time there was way too much sauce and the crust was soggy...big disappointment for him.
Dinner was the highlight of the trip...Le Cellier. I have been trying to get in for a while and have had the reservation booked for 6 months...we were dying for this! DH had the Cheddar Cheese soup and loved it, wiped the cup clean with hot pretzel sticks! He had the Maple BBQ Filet with Cream Cheese Mashed Potates and an order or Sauteed Wild Mushrooms. The filet was cooked perfectly, very flavorful and the sauce complemented the filet very well. The potatoes were creamy and smooth, the mushrooms were wonderful and came in a very large portions. I had the Mushroom Filet with Risotto and loved it! The filet was cooked perfectly and I loved the fried parsnips as the garnish, they were delicious. I also ordered the Bernaise Sauce and that was a great addition to the flavor of the filet. Thank goodness our waitress brought hot fresh pretzel bread to us, it was amazing! This a must for every trip!
12/3 Breakfast at Donald's Breakfastorous in AK. This was wonderful too! 3 different Krispy Kreme donuts on a buffet? What more can you want? Glazed, sprinkled and chocolate frosted, bagels, wonderful cinnamon bun french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon was perfect, fruit was great, the OJ was the best, nice and cold and pulpy, basically everything was wonderful except I did not like the flavor of the potatoes. Great coffee, hot, fresh and strong. We will do this one again for sure.
