I must have that pineapple bar next time in Disney

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

I realized I hadn't put any pics up of me or my parents so I thought I would put one up with some info on us

Me: I am 18 and I am going to be a sophomore in college. I got on the Dean's list both semesters my first year so that was what we were celebrating while at Disney. I got a couple cool desserts from my rents and that's how I celebrate . I am a huge fan of food! There is close to nothing that I won't eat and if I have never tried it before I am up for trying it! I don't know how trustworthy my opinion can be since I love food in general

DD: My dad is another big foodie! He and I ate a ton on this trip! I also want to put it out there now that my dad doesn't drink when he isn't on vacation. I forced him to try all of the popular drinks for my research

DM: My mom is a picky eater. Most of the time the stuff my dad and I order at restaurants gross her out. I was very proud of her this trip because she tried a lot of food she normally wouldn't eat. We were all surprised when she loved a restaurant we ate at because we thought she would hate it. You will have to wait for that one though


I just wanted to do some introductions because I believe if you are a picky eater like my mom and missing out on some restaurants you can think twice about it and maybe decide to eat there and if you just love food in general then you would agree with what me and my dad enjoyed


Now where was I oh yeah
WOLFGANG PUCK EXPRESS

I had heard a lot about WPE from all of the dining reviews I have read and I knew I had to try it out! I was anxious to try it for months so I was hoping it wouldn't disappoint!

We took the bus to DTD and I immediately dragged my parents to WPE

When we stepped inside it was super busy! I forgot to take pics of the restaurant this time we went but I have pics from another that I will post with that review.

I grabbed a table and waited for my parents to go through the line.

I really like this counter service because it feels just like a table service. Waiters bring you your food and refill your drinks. I am not quite sure if you are supposed to tip them but we did.

For dinner I chose the Rosemary Rotisserie Chicken which is served with house-made garlic mashed potatoes

Hmm how to describe this food in one word.... AMAZING!
I am a huge mashed potato fan and every bite was amazing! Instead of gravy it had melted butter and Oooo it just tasted sooo good! The chicken was very moist and there was a lot of it! I am also not a big fan of chicken so to me this was the best chicken on the planet! I was so happy with my choice!

For dessert I had the Crème Brulee

I had never had crème brulee before so I am not sure how it is supposed to taste but if it is supposed to taste like roasted marsh mellows then this was a good creme brulee I thought it tasted good until I got to a sort of burnt part but it was really sweet and I wouldn't be able to eat a full one.

My dad had the Rigatoni with Chicken Alfredo.

It was really good and besides there being a hair in it my dad enjoyed it.

My mom ate my dad's dessert which was the chocolate chip cookie and in this picture is my dad's drink for the night a Corona

My mom said the cookie was very fresh tasting and it looked really good!

OOP: $45 (not including the tip)
DDP: 2 counter service meals
Grade: A
Comments: I would recommend this to anyone and I could really go for those mashed potatoes right now!

The gross place you can't make adrs for so you should be fine it was a counter service not a table service

You have picked the perfect title for your review. Lovely!!

WPE is my favorite CS restaurant too. Looking forward to the rest of your reviews.

Tell you DD he is a good dad to drink all those drinks for *research* purposes for your review.

Hey, had to come over for the Dining Report as well - as you know that's definitely the highlight of our trips!

We've done Wolfgang Puck before and I wasn't too impressed.
My wife really enjoyed it but I like the Counter Service places with more theming.
As for Downtown Disney, we really like T-Rex and have done it twice. It's loud, but a great time for the kid in you!

That pineapple popsicle looks really good though. I'll have to check that out next time - maybe AK's version of a frozen Dole Whip?

 

[MadiMouse]

Great reviews so far. I can't wait to hear more! Also, your mom looks more like your sister! Keep up the great grades in undergrad, too!!

How exciting! I love making reservations there is nothing quite like the soothing disney music they play while you're on hold! You should definitely do some research I think my dad had a lot of fun trying out the drinks

Why else would people go to Disney if not for the food?!
One thing I liked about WPE's theming was the pictures on the walls (I will show them in the second review) mixed Disney with cooking which I thought was clever.
I really wanted to try eating at the T Rex restaurant. We went in there so I could make a Dinosaur for my boyfriend back home and I was soo impressed by the decorations! I loved the underwater section with the giant octopus whose tentacles actually moved!
You have to it is amazing and they are everywhere not just at AK I had one at DHS as well

Great reviews so far. I can't wait to hear more! Also, your mom looks more like your sister! Keep up the great grades in undergrad, too!!

Thank you! My mom really enjoyed hearing that we get that all the time and the fact that we look like twins. Thanks I definitely will!

Great reviews so far! I had the chicken at WPE also and it was so good. I had the Caesar salad instead of potatoes, but maybe I made the wrong choice!
