First Full Day
This was our first full day at WDW. We are not park hoppers so we chose Epcot for our first day! We knew we were going to be eating at Le Cellier at noon so we wanted enough of a breakfast that we wouldn't get hangry, but not such a big breakfast that we wouldn't be hungry at noon. So we decided to do a counter service meal at Roaring Fork. This was our first trip to WL and I was kind of surprised at how little the counter service area was! We'd gotten up pretty early so it wasn't very busy but I wondered if it would be packed later in the morning when all of the families with kids were up and running. However, this was never the case and we were usually in and out quickly!
This morning I had the pecan Mickey waffles with maple butter
These were great! I'm not sure what I expected. I think I expected the waffles to be cold or maybe dry but I loved them. I love butter and the maple butter was good but not overpowering. I also had a milk. I love milk but as you may have read, I'm lactose intolerant. So after breakfast, I promptly took a Lactaid-like pill so I wouldn't regret the milk once we got to Epcot. Sadly, I regretted it anyway and my stomach was gurgling shortly thereafter. Note to self...either don't drink a milk or take two of the Lactaid-like pills! Milk and ice cream are the worst for me and I knew that but did it anyway.
I also have a secret. Shhh...come closer so I can tell you and you must promise never to tell anyone else on the DISboards.
I didn't hate the bacon. Yes, it is paper thin but I didn't mind it! Ok, now that you have been sworn to secrecy I can move on.
My sister had the breakfast croissant

She said that this was good, the croissant was flaky, the eggs were not dry and the ham was flavorful. If I remember correctly, she took off most of the croissant because she just does that but it wasn't becuase it was bad. She asked for no potatoes but got them anyway.
This gets a nice 2 Sausage Rating

Le Cellier
Sorry about the photo quality on the majority of my photos. I ended up using my phone most of the time because the camera wouldn't fit in my small purse.
We had a great morning and went on some rides, made a quick loop through the world showcase and then saw O Canada and we arrived at Le Cellier right at our scheduled time. We walked in, gave our names and were seated immediately. Our server was Kristen and she was excellent - friendly, attentive and fun! Her timing was perfect for every course - no long waits but the courses also didn't come out right on top of each other. I didn't have an alcoholic drink with lunch but I did have a Coke and it was sorely needed as it was getting hot out and Diane had iced tea. I did not get a photo of the pretzel bread because we devoured it as soon as she set it down! We were given two pretzel bread sticks and one wheat roll. She gave an explanation of what these two breads meant and she mentioned that the wheat roll was a symbol of where she was from. The pretzel bread was warm and fantastic and I put lots of butter on it but the wheat roll wasn't as good. But my sister said that we shouldn't insult the province where she's from and not eat the wheat roll so we ate it anyway!
I ordered the Mushroom Filet with cream cheese mashed potatoes

The filet was pure heaven in a bowl and I would have licked it clean if my sister would have let me (hey, it's dark in there anyway right??). I ordered mine medium and when it came out I thought it looked a little more pink that I'd wanted but it turned out to be perfect! When she set our steaks down I said to my sister "Don't they give us steak knives?" and there is a reason that they don't give them to you. Because you don't need them! They were so tender. The mashed potatoes were delicious and creamy.
Diane had the NY Strip

She too loved her meal and when we were most of the way through we realized that we hadn't uttered a word since our entrees were set down in front of us.
For dessert we both had the maple creme brulee but my photo is so blurry that I don't want to post it. But take my word for it, it was very good. Sadly I was a little too full to finish the entire dish of it but I came close!
We'd been waiting for this meal since we booked our ADRs six months ago. This was our must do and it didn't disappoint. Everything was perfect from having no wait, to our wonderful server to the amazing food.
I didn't want to score this too high so early on in our trip but it really deserved it.
So I'll give it a 3 Sausage rating as well as a bonus Aaron Rodgers!



Next up - a sad attempt at drinking around the world after a huge meal at Le Cellier!
