Usually when I go to DTD I eat at Earl of Sandwich. Always been happy with what I have gotten there. Well, I have been hearing good stuff about Wolfgang Puck Express. And now I am torn between the 2. What does everyone think? Several of the things at WPE sound really good. The Chinois Salad, those focaccia sandwiches and of course the creme brulee. I'm so confused. ;)

I say try Wolfgang's this time. I love their Caesar or Spinach salad. The Earl is good but Wolfgang's is great for a change.
 
:rotfl2: How funny, i've thought the exact same question recently.....i LOVE Earle and I make special trips to DTD when I am in orlando on business just to eat there at least twice during my trips. and when i am at WDW on vacation, we always make at least one visit to Earle if not two.

but i've heard great things about Wolfgang Puck's too......so i am tempted to try, but can't let go of my Earle obsession. what to do!!! :confused3
 

Earl of Sandwich has become the arrival day place to eat for me. Great food and pretty easy to get in and out of. I've eaten at WPE and while the food has never been bad it's never been a must eat at type of place.
 
I went to Wolfgang Express once, about a year ago, and it was NOT a good experience. We ordered our food (I got one of the pizzas, my fiance, she got a salad), and went outside to eat under the canopy area. About halfway through eating our meals, we began to notice a few cockroaches running around. Then more appeared. Under tables, on tables, on the window glass of the restaurant...we're not talking about just two of three of these guys. OK, so it was outdoor seating. I can understand at least somewhat, how it might be hard to control them out there. So we picked up and moved inside. And we saw them in there too. To say we were grossed out is an understatement. It was horrible. We never went back. The actual food might have been OK, but the bug situation has tainted our memory of it all.

Now, supposedly Wolfgang Express just underwent a renovation/refurb, and they supposedly changed their menu. Hopefully they took care of the cockroach problem. So it might be much better than it was when I tried it.

But if it's between Earl (which is SO good and relatively cheap), and Wolfgang, the choice is simple. At least for me it is.
 
Its funny cause now that I actually think about it I don't think I've ever eaten at DTD?? as many times as I've been there:laughing:
 
We love Earl and always eat either lunch or dinner there the day of our arrival.
 
We tried WPE for the first time during our visit in August and really enjoyed it! I had the Chicken Alfredo and frozen yogurt w/berries for dessert...it was really good. There were eight of us dining and everyone enjoyed it.
 
We had lunch in August at the WPE on the West Side near the Virgin Megastore - it was really good, I had the Chinois Chicken salad, dh had a flatbread - very tasty!!!
 
OK, I guess its going to be WPE this time. With a stop at Earl for the brownie.

My mouth is watering just thinking about WPE. I think one of the reason we like Saratoga Springs so much is because it's very easy for us to walk over to WPE or Earl of Sandwich.

Best of both worlds :thumbsup2 TBH I love Earl of Sandwich but ate in WPE as well in July and loved it too so I am sure you will be happy either way :cutie:
