WPE looks great. We really enjoyed that pesto pizza last time we were there. Unfortunately we didn't get to visit on our last trip, but I'll be planning a return visit for our next trip.
This was the only morning the entire trip that we didnt have a breakfast ADR which was actually very nice since it allowed Michael and Em an opportunity to sleep in while I explored the Boardwalk and picked up some breakfast from the Boardwalk Bakery. This would also mark off #13 from my List of 18 from Jabead: 13) Get breakfast from the Boardwalk Bakery at least once.
Boardwalk in the morning:
I had read about lines out the door for the bakery in the mornings but when I dropped in it wasnt too bad. The bakery is really quite small so a line forms rather quickly. Breakfast is served from 6:30am to 11am. They offer two breakfast croissant sandwiches (ham, egg, & cheese and egg & cheese), a yogurt parfait, cold cereal selections, and fresh baked bakery items. There are refrigerated cases with all manner of cold beverages and then several coffee options.
Menu Board:
Standing in line I was running through the options on the menu board and trying to catch a glimpse of what was offered on the bakery racks behind the counter. Since I was winging it without their input I just decided to get a variety of items and let everyone fight over the selections in the room. It may have been a mistake to not have a plan since I kept adding one more thing to my order! Everything looked really good especially the cupcakes. In the end, I carried 2 bags back to the room.
Heres my choices:
Beverage choices:
I was in the mood for something hot and cheesy so I ordered the egg & cheese croissant. Since Michael was trying to eat relatively healthy, I got him a yogurt parfait. For Em I got her a cranberry muffin. That is what I thought they wanted. In reality, heres what happened Michael was craving protein so he took the egg & cheese croissant. I started eating my back up choice the bagel with cream cheese. Michael finished his breakfast sandwich and instead of moving on to the yogurt parfait, he set his sights on my bagel! Ok, so I had ½ a bagel. No one wanted the yogurt parfait!! Em loved her muffin. The croissant got eaten at some later time.
Strawberry Cupcake:
Saving this little beauty for last I HAD to try a Boardwalk Bakery cupcake. I selected the strawberry cupcake. This actually sat for 2 days before I got around to eating it and by then the bottom was a little soggy but thats my fault for not diving in immediately. It had a creamy strawberry mousse type filling that was light and flavorful. Also, just to note that for my taste, there was way too much frosting on this thing. However, I do love sprinkles on my cupcakes so even though I scraped most of the icing off the cupcake I ended up eating most of it since I wanted the sprinkles. Stupid huh?

Next time, Im just going to eat a cupcake for breakfast!

Those pizzas look great! How does it compare to Via Napoli?
jabead said:I was just wondering that too. I've had them both but never on the same trip, and it's been a couple of years since I had the pizza at WPE.
We have NOT been to Y&Y! We had an ADR there last time but hubby said he didn't want Asian food and we really were not that hungry. My cold was really getting to me that do so we left early to head back to the resort.
I also must try WPE! Everything there always looks so good! How come some days I feel like I'm making all the wrong choices for our meals?!? so many places I want to eat and only 14 days to do it in ! LOL!
WPE is oh so very good. One of our favorites for a quick lunch. I think we ate there at least 3 or 4 times our last trip! So easy to get to from OKW. I have still yet to try dessert there- even splitting a sandwich or salad I am always way to stuffed. Maybe I will put trying dessert before lunch there. Loving your pics and dining reviews and finding out about discounts (Didn't know WPE offered an AP discount... Great to know!)
It looks like your trip is going fantastically - I look forward to when my girls are older and Disney has a different, seemingly more relaxed vibe!
WPE looks great. We really enjoyed that pesto pizza last time we were there. Unfortunately we didn't get to visit on our last trip, but I'll be planning a return visit for our next trip.
Oh.. My... Goodness.... The bakery breakfast looks absolutely yummy. Especially that cupcake. Although I think I'm with you. It looks like it has a LOT of frosting on it. We have a bakery here that has these huge cupcakes. To me they would be better off using less frosting, but that might just be me. I'm not a big frosting fan. DH says I'm picky. LOL!!
DH would love the ham and cheese croissant. Looks really good. Yummy!!
That is crazy that WPE was so empty at 545pm!
Those pizzas look quite yummy. I constantly read great reviews of WPE and have never eaten there, but its definately on my list...maybe next year.
Can't go wrong with pizza from WPE, thanks for sharing and glad you guys enjoyed it!
I keep debating on whether to go downtown on our first day and eat at WPE or just stay at the hotel--
your pictures made it even harder
We love WPE, it's usually our first-night dinner as we don't usually venture into a park on our arrival day. The four cheese pesto pizza is a favourite of mine, along with the rotisserie chicken and oven roasted salmon. I've never tried the cheesecake, that's definitely on my list for this trip!
Thanks so much for the update, we leave in four days and your DR is really whetting my appetite.
Great pictures of WPE - the food always looks delicious! I need to try it again sometime, but I'm rarely in DTD long enough for a full meal.
The four cheese and pesto pizza from WPE is one of my absolute faves
And the cheesecake is delicious; I'm not a big creme brûlée fan so I've never tried it but everyone seems to rave about it
Wonderful reviews as always
The pizza looks great at WPE! How does it compare to Via Napoli?
Btw, I will be dining at Y&Y today, Brenda, I will get those cheese wontons for dessert and dedicate it to you,
I was just wondering that too. I've had them both but never on the same trip, and it's been a couple of years since I had the pizza at WPE.
I'm enjoying the review!!!
I love WPE pizza!! My fave is the meatball pizza - it's soooo good! I just have one question. Is goat cheese one of the 4 cheeses? It looks fantastic and so do the desserts!
Okay, I have been trying to read this ALL DAY! Between actually having to do laundry, go to church and feed my kids, it didn't leave me much time to really read and enjoy at one sitting!
I love the Lettuce Wraps at PF Chang's, and the ones that you got looked REALLY good too!!! Those pizza's look amazing as well! I would have split that with you!
We nearly missed our ADR at Yak and Yeti as my watch was on a go slow and had lost an hour throughout the day!
I've just checked my phots of WPE and have the exact same pictures of desserts lol!
I would probably give the edge to WPE for the four cheese pizza as the pesto just gives it that something extra
The waiters are cuter in Via Napoli though
I've actually been there once - the salmon entree was really good. But WPE probably deserves a spot in my 'rotation', and I've basically neglected it. Thanks for the tip about the AP discount!Thanks Mr. DDW! You've never tried WPE?? Put that on your list young man! I suppose if you are not a DTD fan then it's not really your fault that you don't hang out there long enough to have a meal.
