Breakfast at Wolfgang Puck's Express, an ice-cream snack at Ghirardelli's, lunch at Le Cellier
We were up early and decided to have another breakfast at Wolfgang Puck's Express. On the way there I decided to try something sweet, but then ....... reading the menu I changed my mind.
We started out with some coffee (better stuff than the regular Disney coffee) and some very nice hot tea and some orange juice for both of us.
Our main courses did not take long to come out.
Tom had the Denver, Denver - peppers, ham, onions, mushrooms, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses in a GIANT omelet! It was loaded with HAM, lots of veggies and cheese and the breakfast potatoes were very crisp on the outside and soft on the inside! Oh heaven.
I had my heart set on the Three Cheese, Tomato and Basil - mozzarella, parmesan and creamy goat cheese omelet! I love the three cheese pizza, so this was an easy winner. It was a HUGE omelet filled with a LOT of guey cheese, tomatoes and fresh basil. I am not a huge fan of goat's cheese but their goat's cheese is creamy and tastes so fresh -
! Potatoes were the same as Tom's and even though I wasn't all that hungry we still finished our omelets! They were SO good!
We walked around Downtown Disney for a while, picked up a few pins and shopped a little more at the Christmas store. We needed to pick up one more print (and a cross stitch pack for me
) at the Art shop and happened to pop into the new "Design your own T-shirt" shop. First we watched for a while and then decided to "design" some T-shirts of our own. We got two T-shirts for a friend's kids and it was real fun. Once the designs were done we paid for them and were told it would take about an hour for them to be done. Hm, that meant we had another hour to spend at Downtown Disney. What about some Ghirardelli chocolate? We went and picked up a sample but then noticed that the soda fountain was half empty.
Ice-cream???? - Yes, please!
I only lately developed a taste for peanut butter, so this was what I HAD TO get - The Gold Rush - Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sundae - Vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and melted peanut better throughout. Topped with whipped cream, roasted peanut halves, cherry and Ghirardelli Squares milk chocolate. It might go straight to one's hips, but it is so WORTH it!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was really yummy.
Tom decided on the Strike It Rich - Butterscotch Hot Fudge Sundae - butter pecan ice cream with butterscotch and golden almond nuggets under a layer of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, chopped almonds and a cherry and it was yum, yum as well! What a way to spend an hour waiting for your T-shirts to get ready.
We picked up the T-shirts and went over to Epcot for our lunch at LeCellier. We arrived a little before our ADR time, but signed in none the less and were seated about 5 minutes later. They seated us at one of the tiny tables in the middle of the restaurant and we had a female server. She told us about the Chef's special, but I already knew what I wanted. We skipped appetizers one more time because we had had those enormous omelets and the ice-cream AND had dinner at the California Grill booked.
We ordered our Diet Cokes and soon the server returned with them
and she brought out the different breads as well. We snacked on them a little while we waited for our main courses.
This was what I had wanted, even before we had left Austria. The Le Cellier Mushroom Filet Mignon - with wild mushroom risotto, white truffle and herb butter sauce. The Filet was melt in your mouth, cooked perfectly medium, unfortunately the risotto was made with long grain rice and rather a sticky mess, but it still tasted nice.
Tom had the New York Strip Steak - with bercy butter, balsamic red onions, watercress, and roasted Yukon potatoes. This was cooked perfectly too and the potatoes, onions and watercress went VERY well with it.
For dessert I chose the Apple-Rhubarb Crumble - served with Maple Granola Ice Cream. It is an unusual choice for me, since I usually go for either something chocolatey or citrus fruit. But I was SO glad I had decided on the crumble. This was really perfect. I thick layer of fruit, topped with crunchy crumble and the ice-cream melting into it! Oh, yum. I need to have that again in September!
Tom had the Seasonal Sorbet, which happened to be pumpkin spice. As we didn't know what that was we were surprised to find out that it was mostly cinnamon. Tom ate quite a bit of it, but lateron complained that the cinnamon taste was lasting in his mouth.
We were STUFFED when we left the restaurant.

I wish it would not take that much time away from my Disneyfriends 
Tom didn't eat much of his ice-cream either.
