I read your reviews nut normally I don't post! I saw the pictures of KK and just had to!

We don't have any KK shops in Scotland but my work did the fundraising with KK in May and that was when I got my first taste! (I don't like donuts.... That changed quickly!)
In June we flew in and out of MCO and I bought a box to bring home.... Well, they got eaten on the plane!

I can't wait to get my fix again!
I love your reviews and your pics!

FEBRUARY TRIP UPDATE!

Ever since we got home we were watching plane fares for our February trip and they have gone up steadily.
I told Tom that € 2500,- for the two of us was the max I was willing to pay. Yesterday I checked and it was nearly 2300€ and I was really hoping for it to go down a bit.

Today we checked again and it was down to 1860€ for the two of us! Needless to say we bought airfare today and are now officially booked to go back to Orlando (and the DREAM) the third week of February!

WoooHooo!!!

I have to say you are NOT helping with my diet by posting all this stuff!

 

[dizneeat]

Tom and I have some news concerning our upcoming trips in February and August/September 2012.

What better reason can there be to start another thread - our new pre-trip report (didn't take me long, did it? )

Find out what it is all about right here ......

HELP!!!!!! More Disney Dreams to fulfill - 2 more trips to plan!

Finally someone who really seems to love long vacations as well! When did you cruise?
I need to check out your TR too!

Our cruise dates were Aug 21 - 25 2011
Just got back into port before the hurricane passed by!

 

[DISWolves]

Hopefully we will make our third visit to OKW in 2012
Never eaten in Olivia's yet, but I may give the eggs Benedict a try!

Mmmm breakfast looks delicious! I want that omlette! YUM.

It was such a wonderful breakfast, the perfect start to a perfect vacation!

That is some breakfast you guys had there. It all looks absolutely amazing. I think I would have been so satisfied with those strawberries I wouldn't have needed anything else. But your Eggs Benedict looked so amazing it would have been a tough choice to choose between the two. So after this amazing breakfast you were set to go for the day.

So, what's for lunch?

That breakfast didn't just look wonderful, it was really awesome. The strawberries are something I had set my mind on LAST year and fell in love with, so even before arriving in the US I knew what I was going to order.

As you ask for lunch ...... we went to Downtown Disney for lunch .... does that give away anything?

Eggs Benedict please!

We're planning to go to Olivia's for dinner - we SO need to add a breakfast now!

As for the strawberries and cream.....

You definitely have to try it for breakfast! It is so fun, as they are never rushed and the food is really good. We never made it for lunch or dinner this summer, but I REALLY hope we will make it there next summer!

Those strawberries look oh so yummy!

And... I will be prepared for the KK to come.

Just between the two of us ..... I think they are Californian produce the only really tasty strawberries I have ever come across!

Oh, yes, and there is definitely LOTS more KK to come!

 

[dizneeat]

Those strawberries should be offered everywhere! Yum!

Yes, they should!!

I thought I had subscribed but I hadn't! I'm here now and caught up. Love your reports!

Jill in CO

You are here NOW!
It's easy to miss one of my threads, there are too many out there! But I will try to wrap up last years TR and the February one soon, so I can concentrate on my upcoming trips!

The eggs benedict looks amazing. I am not a breakfast person but my gosh I almost want to go to Olivias to get that. Yum Yum Yum!

How were the breakfast potatoes?

I don't usually eat breakfasts like these on a regular basis either. But at least we love to enjoy them while on vacation and the Eggs Benedict were right up my street!
The breakfast potatoes there are really yummy. They are cooked in a creamy white sauce.

That is an amazing looking breakfast! I love eggs benedict, but don't that all that often...and lime hollandaise...that sounds amazing.

Tina, you need to get over there and see OKW for yourself AND have a meal at Olivia's.
You will truly think that you are in the Florida Keys!
I love Eggs Benedict, but they are not offered here very often, so whenever I get a chance I order them and these were so good with the lime hollandaise!

Olivia's - The best kept secret TS restaurant in WDW! We LOVE it and have never had even a mediocre meal or service there. It's always been excellent. Glad you enjoyed your breakfast there. Great TR...keep it up!

Yes, Olivia's is definitely one of Disney's best kept secret TS restaurant! Such a nice atomosphere and the food is awesome!
And LOTS more food to come - soon, pretty soon!

I really want that omelette! Maybe I'll add Olivia's to my plans for next year.

Olivia's is REALLY worth going there! And Tom enjoyed his omelet very much, it was really good and special!

Yay another review! I loved your last one! Olivia's is definitely a hidden gem.

Good to know you are on board as well, and I am so happy you enjoyed the last one.
We love Olivia's - it is a wonderful restaurant!

joining in

Welcome! How nice to have you here as well!

I am so glad you came out of lurkdome and join in!
KK are awesome, aren't they? I never got what the Dunkin Donut hype was all about, but once I tasted my first KK, hot off the conveyor, I was sold!

There are lots more KK to come and I really hope you get your "fill" of KK again real soon!

Enjoying your reviews! You are so kind to share with us. Thank you.

I am so happy you enjoy the reviews. And sharing them with you all is my pleasure!

Karin!!

Hi! You found me! That's all that matters!

We had a fantastic trip which left us with a lot of wonderful memories, hope yours turns out the same way!

WoooHooo!!!

I have to say you are NOT helping with my diet by posting all this stuff!

Maybe you should go on a KK diet! I am sure I could help with that!

 

[dizneeat]

How exciting!!!

We are going in May and I have been trying to figure out our ADR's, so this review is giving me some great ideas!!

Terri

..... a trip in May! What restaurants ARE on your ADR list so far? I really hope to speed this review up to give you some more ideas!

Our cruise dates were Aug 21 - 25 2011
Just got back into port before the hurricane passed by!

We were on the same cruise!!!!!!!!! That was the first one of our three cruises, before, during and after the hurricane ....... and we enjoyed all three of them. Captain Henry did a pretty good job getting us through the storm!

Hopefully we will make our third visit to OKW in 2012
Never eaten in Olivia's yet, but I may give the eggs Benedict a try!

We WILL be back to OKW next summer, Aug 19 - 24, what dates are you looking at? Wouldn't it be fun to be there at the same time again?
IF you stay at OKW you have to give Olivia's a try - it's a wonderful restaurant!

Hi Jeff!
We were missing you and I was wondering if it was a health issue or "just" computer trouble.
But I am glad you are all caught up. I don't know why you don't trust me and food oh, well, I can "just" guess!

I am really hoping that one way or another there might be a chance for you to go back to WDW next summer - we would LOVE to spend more time with you all!
But I can see that at least you are prepared to come in 2013!!!!!!!!!!

Have you started a trip report yet? And did you check out my pre trip report for next year? There are three trips in the near future for us!!!!!!

Have a magical weekend! for Philip for Molly for Lily and a huge cyber for you Jeff!!!!!!

Day 2, August 14

A treat from the Disney Florist ....... from a wonderful friend!

When we got back from our visit to DTD, our room was already made up and we found a surprise on the kitchen island!

A gift basket from the Disney Florist!!!!!!!!!! It was full of tasty treats, chocolates, pretzels, crackers, cheese spread and a dipping sauce and a coffee mug. Unfortunately we never got around to take pictures of the individual treats, but they were all yummy!

A special THANK YOU goes to our friends Mary Ellen (jamiesgirl) and Joe, who had ordered it for us! You guys are the best! Always good for a surprise!

Next up - Lunch at Wolfgang Puck's Express

 

[Disneyfreak616]

What a thoughtful gift!

I love those Disney coffee mugs!

 

[TanzUnited99]

Wow I go to Disney World, come back and you are on page 12 of your DR!!

I'm joining now and am all caught up! Your airplane food looks so good, puts what we got to shame. Though am guessing you guys have a longer journey than us.

Yay on starting with WPE and mmm at the pics of more Krispy Kremes - every time I read a review of them I just want to get in the car and go and pick up a batch!

on booking your February airfare!!

Olivia's Cafe breakfast looks soo good - the strawberries and cream have me drooling!

What a thoughtful gift basket - it looks great!

Looking forward to reading more!

[FONT="Arial Black"]Our plane food is pretty good on the way to the US, home ..... not so much!

We always start our vacation with a WPE meal and end it this way - traditions!

And we were both pretty happy with our February airfare! I had been checking a few times and it had gone UP UP and UP! Now guess our surprise when it down 500 Euros, we just had to buy!

Mary Ellen and Joe always surprise us with something special - last year they sent us a cheese and fruit platter and a bottle of wine to be served on the Wonderful Disney Wonder!

Okay, more reviews coming up shortly!
