Major exciting day!!!! Heard back from the travel agents today . . . and they have refunded the majority of the cost of our flights and hotel!!!!!!! So next years Christmas trip is definitely on! Hoping to get booking ASAP!!!! I am so happy!!! Going to buy myself some Ugg boots for Disneyland Paris as well to keep me all toasty!
So we started today at Wolf Gang Puck express at DTD. I went for the Applewood Smoked Bacon pizza (scrambled egg, bacon, mozzarella, cheddar, and ranch dressing), whilst Tony went for the Breakfast Pocket (scrambled egg, peppers, bacon, mushrooms, mozzarella and cheddar cheese baked into pizza dough).
Pizza
I really, really liked mine and would recommend it!! Lovely, light and tasty – but BIG! I think we could have easily shared it!!! I give it 8.5/10. Tony really liked my pizza as well – he wasn’t quite as keen on his breakfast pocket, giving it 7/10 as it was very heavy. I loved the potatoes which came with his dish and ate most of them - I would easily give them a 9/10 (but then I am a potato fiend).

For lunch we returned to one of our favourite places from last year – Chefs De France! We both went for the “French Menu” where you can get all three courses as part of the dining plan.
First course was French onion soup topped with gruyere cheese – this was excellent. Really tasty, and absolutely loads of cheese!!! This was definitely as good as last years – I gave it 10/10, and Tony gave it 9/10.
Entrée was the croquet monsieur (classic French toasted ham and cheese sandwich with a green salad). Tony had this last year and loved it, and the bit I tried was superb, so I had been looking forward to trying it again for a year! And it was a bit of a disappointment to be honest. It was just incredibly heavy, and quite greasy – mainly due to all the extremely generous amount of cheese! As you know I can eat, and I love my cheese usually, but even I found this a bit much! We both give this just 7/10.
On to dessert then. I went for the vanilla crème brule and madelaine, and it was the best crème brule of the trip! It beat California Grill and Le Cellier. Very light and creamy, and the madelaine was delightful! This got 9/10.
Tony went for the profiteroles, which he says were just average – he didn’t like the fact they were filled with ice-cream rather than cream.
As you may know Remi from “Rat-a-toille” (yes, I know that spelling is bad!!) is currently “appearing” in Chefs De France; he is supposed to be taken to each table during lunch and interacts for the guests for a few minutes. Well – this is the closest we got as the lady operating him completely missed our row of tables out!! I was so annoyed! I had been looking forward to this for ages, and had kept it a surprise from Tony!
This place lost a little of its magic for us this year – we both give it 8/10 overall though. Whilst most of the food was Ok, I think I would try some where new in Epcot next year.
Words cannot express how hot this day was – we needed to cool down so thought we would try one of the Kali Gori’s from Japan – its basically a slushy. We went for the multi-favour one; I can’t quite remember but I think it was tangerine, cherry and watermelon. It was very nice and really refreshing, BUT because of the heat it went really melted and sticky quite soon. Also, mainly because I am such a messy person, I found it really hard to eat with the little spoon and kept dropping it on my feet, on Tony, and anyone else in the vicinity! Tony gives it 7/10 and I give it an 8. Nice, but next time I would probably just have a bottle of water!!!
So, we were in Epcot, and there is only one place to go when in Epcot – Norway, more specifically the Kringla Bakeri!!!! I was soooo craving a school bread. We shared one last year and it was the best bakery item I think I had ever tried. We ordered one of those, and also a sweet pretzel- considering the amount of choice on offer I still think we were quite restrained!!!!
Now I knew since last year they had slightly changed the School Bread – adding caramel icing to the top instead of plain, but I love caramel so this wasn’t an issue. Well that was about the only thing that wasn’t an issue!!! The school bread is definitely smaller that it used to be, the bread was very dry, and there was much less creamy filling in the middle. It was a major disappointment, and neither of us would have one again.
I didn’t try the pretzel, Tony ate it all but again, didn’t seem that keen on it, it was a little dry. He gives it 6/10 - 5 for the pretzel, and another one on top because he liked the Norweigan lady in the bakery

!! Norway was a bit let-down this year, and I think my bakery loyalties will go to the French patisserie in future!
We had dinner booked at Trails End, but we didn’t fancy another buffet, so decided to cancel that and head of to visit the love of our life – Beaches n Cream! We got there about 7.30pm, and asked for a table or booth – not counter seat. Waited about 30 minutes which I thought was really good that time of day.
We knew what we were ordering without even looking, which I think impressed our waiter! A double cheeseburger, and a chilli-cheese hotdog, both to share. Both were just lovely, every bit as good as last year! The burger was excellent – 10 from me and 9.5 from Tony. They are just so moist and tasty, and the buns were soft. By far the best burger in the World, and possibly the whole wide world!
The hot dog was also good – absolutely lashings of chilli and cheese, which made it a bit difficult to eat, but I’m not complaining. I give this 9/10 and Tony gives it 8.
Of course, we weren’t coming here and leaving without a sundae!! I had the No Way Hose (A Peanut Butter and Hot Fudge Delight with Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream, Peanut Butter and Chocolate Morsels, Whipped Cream and a Cherry ), and Tony went for the Milky Way (Bundt Cake topped with three scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream, Hot Fudge, Butterscotch, Whipped Cream and a Cherry). He said this was excellent and gave it 9/10. My No Way Hose was as incredible as I remembered – huge, very sickly, but great!! Imagine thick warm peanut butter, mixing in with chocolate chips, cream and ice-cream. Divine!!!! 9.5/10!

As good as ever, and one we will return to time and time again (including later on in these reviews!!).
Up next we have POFQ breakfast AGAIN, Casey’s lunch and Crystal Palace dinner.
