Oh my goodness, Karin, how did I miss this 
Fantastic reviews, as usual - I'm so glad to see that two of my favourite things feature so heavily - Krispy Kremes and Wolfgang Puck Express
Got to admit that Spoodles looked wonderful and I can honestly say it has never appealed to me before. Considering we're supposed to be eating the majority of our meals off-site in October, I seem to be adding more and more Disney restaurants to 'the list' - I'm going to blame you for the two latest additions, Spoodles and Grand Floridian Cafe

Spoodles is great!
I knew it! I just needed some one to verify it ... there are NO calories at Disney!
Whew!
That's why we go to Disney isn't it, because it is all calorie free
Great reviews!!! We love Spoodles so I was glad to see that the shrimp appetizer was so generous. I'm a light eater and am always looking for appetizers I can use as an entree. Can't wait for more reviews...
That appetizer was so good! And Spoodles, though neglected by us for a long time
has now become a "must go back" restaurant....reading your review! Especially since next Spring will be my first (adult) trip & I can't wait to try out the restaurants! Those Ohana sauces have me drooling. So yummy!
And did you notice the Hidden Mickey in your review of GF Cafe? If you turn that crab cake photo just a wee bit....Voila!
Thank you so much for pointing out that Hidden Mickey
I never noticed that!! And believe me, not only the sauces are yummy at Ohana! Thank you! More coming up in a few more minutes.
I am sure your son will like it!
The food is so good and the atmosphere in the restaurant is really fun! They do coconut races and have parades through the restaurant. Never a dull moment at Ohana and the food is really good - and there is A LOT OF IT!!!!Disneylicious!
MY FAVOURITE WORD!!!!!
Great reviews!
Thank you!
Thank you! I love Wishes and always snap photos like a mad woman
You need to try Ohana - it's one of our favourites!O'Hanas looks yummy! Glad you had fun. And great pictures of Wishes!!
Thank you! And yip, we did have lots of fun that day! Love it that you don't need to grow up in the wonderful world of Mickey!

Hi Joh! Nice to have you on board again, Matey!
You should know me by now - Wolfgang Puck is a fellow Austrian, so we need to stand by him and support him
and since we discovered Krispy Kreme I even considered going to visit my London aunt for a weekend to get some Guess what - we never were lured into Spoodles either, but then I read a few reviews here on the DIS and we HAD TO try it - and it did not disappoint.
As for blaming me for your restaurant additions
I think I might be able to live with THAT kind of blame! Hope you write a review - I LOVE yours!!!

Main Street Bakery for breakfast, Enchanted Grove, Columbia Harbour House
We were up early, trying to make it to rope drop at the Magic Kingdom but it looked like everyone wanted to visit the Magic Kingdom today and the line for the Express Monorail went down and even across the open space below it. Boat was full too, so we hit the Resort Monorail for a more leisurely journey to the Magic Kingdom. We arrived right after the opening show and got in without a great wait.
We wanted to first hit the Main Street Bakery, since we had heard so much about it. There was a line out the door!! We got in line, were handed the menu and NO french toast loaf - hm, maybe they have it somewhere else. Once we got up to the counter I asked again what we could get on the dining plan and we were told that we could have one savoury item and one bakery item and a drink each. I didn't know we could have SO many things, but we were hungry. We picked up our tray and there were two free tables, so we got one of them and enjoyed our breakfast.
We both chose one of the Ham, Egg, and Cheese Croissants. These were wonderful. Very silky soft eggs with soft cheese and thinly sliced ham. Very nice and not as greasy as the one I had had at the Pop foodcourt.
Everyone raved about these - cinnamon rolls - and they were all right!!! It was so soft and lots of icing and it was HUGE, more than enough for the two of us to share. Once we had finished it we were SO full we could not eat the remaining pastry item we had gotten.
A chocolate croissant. We tasted it two days later and it was still nice, but I can only imagine how nice it would have been fresh. Since we did not want to throw it out I went back to the counter and asked if we could have a container to go and was handed one with a huge smile.
By the way we both had an orange juice, but we did not take photos of these!
After breakfast we picked up a Fastpass for Space Mountain, then walked over to Fantasyland, but the line for Peter Pan was far too long, so we decided on riding Haunted Mansion.
When we walked up to Liberty Square the Dream along with Mickey show was about to start, so we found a spot right by the side and sat on one of the fences and enjoyed the show.
After the show we had a few photopass photos done and then noticed that the new "Move it, shake it" Parade was about to start. We stayed right at the edge of the pavement opposite the castle and waited for it to begin. It was fun from start to finish. The spot was absolutely perfect - the Mickey and Minnie float was right there in front of us and everyone was having such a fun time.
After the show I had gotten really thirsty, and since we were close to the Enchanted Grove I wanted to try something new I had read so much about.
Raspberry Lemonade Slush - That was very tart at first, but it really grew on me and I finished the whole thing - even though I had a hard time "drinking" it. I liked it so much I even had another one on our last day!
We rode Space Mountain and TTA
and decided that IF we wanted to have a light lunch we needed to have it now because we had a really early dinner at Yak and Yeti.
We walked through Adventureland, hopped onto the Pirates ride and checked out the menu of the El Pirata y el Perico, but we did not like the menu too much, so we decided to head over to the Columbia Harbour House.
While walking over we thought about sharing one CS credit, but once we were there we decided to both have an entree and skip dessert.
We shared the Anchors Aweigh Sandwich - white tuna with lettuce and tomato on toasted multigrain bun, which I ALWAYS love! The tuna "spread" is so yummy and together with the lettuce, tomato and mulitgrain bread it is just the perfect sandwich.
We also shared the BLT Salad - Mixed greens with crispy chicken, bacon, egg, and tomato. (Thanks MickeyNicky, for giving me that idea!) That was a wonderful salad, with warm chicken nuggets and real crumbled up bacon. We were so full when we left.
There was still time before the parade, so we took a few photos of Splash Mountain before we staked out a spot right in front of Liberty Tree Tavern.
We were standing there for about half an hour before the parade started and once it was over we discovered that we both had gotten sunburned! We decided to ride Big Thunder Mountain before we went back to the resort.

Karin, I have just 'oohed' and 'aahed' my way thourgh your last post - but when I got to the Raspberry Lemonade Slush part I almost drowned in my own drool. Raspberry Lemonade Slush is mine and my DS's favourite (non-alcoholic) drink at Disney World - I could kill for one right about now even though it's absolutely freezing here 
And don't even get me started on that cinnamon roll - D E L I C I O U S ! ! !

Thank you! Can you believe that in 11 trips (and apart from our Christmas trip and this one each one was at least 3 weeks long) we NEVER tried that Raspberry Lemonade Slush or the Main Street Bakery?? Thanks to the Disboards and dining reviews (like yours
) we finally found those hidden gems.

Oh man your last post is killing me, all my favorite items in one post! Soft silky eggs, what a perfect way to describe the best breakfast sandwich ever!
Oh well, 2 months and 3 weeks to go before I can stuff my face again!

Mmmmmm!!!! I just love this sandwich, but I can't figure out why it's such a big deal. I mean, it's not like I can't have a tuna sandwich anytime I want at home, but this is seriously the best tuna sandwich EVER! Must be the pixie dust, I guess.
