Lunch at Wolfgang Puck's Express
It was time to return to Disney today, but we wanted to do one last round of rides at UO!
So we had some breakfast of leftovers from the day before, packed up the rest of our stuff, checked out of the hotel and loaded everything into the car before we walked down to the parks one more time.
We arrived right after the parks had opened and since we planned on hitting both parks we were ready to use our Universal Express again. We went on our favourite rides and were done within an hour and 40 minutes. We checked on Rip Ride Rock it, but it was supposed to open later that morning, so we skipped it.
We thought about going over to IOA, but then the thought of checking into Old Key West won!!
So we took the boat back to the resort, walked to the car and off we went! We drove right over to Old Key West, checked in and lucked out big time, since a one bedroom villa was already waiting for us! We were on the third floor with a view of the golf course and as we should later discover a view of the Epcot fireworks and a glimpse of Wishes!
By that time we were starving and we had just received our key to free disney dining, so off we went to our preferred counter service location, Wolfgang Puck's Express. Downtown Disney was packed, but we found a spot quite close to the restaurant and got in line to order our food. We could not believe it, but the server we had before the cruise was still there and she remembered us and took REALLY good care of us!
Now, on to the food!
Tom got the Rigatoni with Chicken Alfredo - fresh artisan rigatoni tossed in Alfredo sauce and sliced all-natural roasted chicken breast, topped with fresh Grana Padano parmesan. This is always a favourite and it is a HUGE portion, lots of chicken and pasta in a creamy sauce. And even some focaccia bread to mop up any leftover sauce.
Tom's entree came with a petite Caesar Salad. Fresh crisp romaine lettuce with creamy caesar dressing and home made croutons - right what the doctor ordered!
I had been longing for another one of the Spicy Chicken Pizzas for a long time - all natural chicken, roasted red and yellow peppers, mozzarella, tomoatoes, leeks, crushed red chilis and fresh cilantro! I was in heaven.
Dessert was my favourite Creme Brulee!
And the best of all of it? It was all FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what did we actually cost Disney?
2 CS credits (22 remain) = $ 44,80
24 TS credits remain
24 snack credits remain
Next up - a very special dinner at the California Grill
