Those sandwiches look amazing! I can't ever seem to get my family to try WPE, they like Earl's of Sandwich. I need to convince them to try WPE!!!

How did I miss this? I was looking at the reviews and then I noticed the 2008 date mark, checked your reply and realized I was on the wrong one! I was absolutely baffled at your ability to have posted that much information without me knowing!

But I'm in the right place now!

 

[chloelovesdisney]

You are my Disney dining heroes. Looking forward to the continued report!

Oh my I didn't know WPE had sweet potatoe fries! I'll be ordering the same sandwich on our December trip. I love those fries!!!!! Looking forward to ALL of your reviews!!!

Can't wait to see your Olivia's review. We are going there for the first time next month.

You are going to love it! It is a real relaxed kind of restaurant and the food is really nice. We have been there for breakfast, lunch and dinner and never had a bad meal.

Just stumbled upon your review and can't wait to read the rest of it!! I can't imagine doing a 30 day report . . .it would be like another full time job! Looking forward to the rest; thanks for putting in the time!

Glad you signed on! There's a lot more to come and sometime it DOES feel like another job, but one I really love! ........ and I love sharing my dining adventures!

You guys could be the spokespeople for WPE!

I am dead set on eating there for our arrival dinner since we will get in around 8pm or so....do you think that will happen?

That's how we Austrians are - we stand up for each other!
Nicki, you won't believe this, but they actually remembered us from our last two trips - one guy behind the counter looked at us and told us that he remembered us and one of the servers (a really sweet lady) came right over to our table and welcomed us back!

As far as YOU eating there ....... if you were going on your own I would bet that you would do it, but I guess there will be a certain Todd coming along ........ not sure if he does "feel" like it!

looking forward to more

Nice to have you here. More coming up shortly!

I'm really enjoying your review so far! Can't wait to read more!

It's so nice to have you on board! Lots more to come! Thanks for reading.

We've had quite a few of the sandwiches and they ALL were amazing. We like EoS too, but when on the DDP, WPE always wins!

I'm a little late but I am here!

Hi Kat!
You're not late at all - just two little updates done, LOADS to come! We loved our cruises by the way - what about you?

Spent yesterday reading your previous reports. They are wonderful!
I would LOVE to do an extended 30 day stay like yours.
Looking forward to reading more of your dining adventures!
Thanks for taking the time to share them with us!

you are brave! Reading through my previous reviews!
We love the long trips too! But then with the long flight and the intense heat during the summer it would not make much sense during the summer otherwise.
Lots more to come. I had a "long" few days, but now that the weekend has arrived there is finally time to update!

Love your reviews and definately will enjoy going along for the ride.

It's nice to know that you are here too!

You haven't missed anything yet, Tina! I am just SO happy to have you here, now!

And NO, I am NOT that fast ......... it'll take a while to finish this report!

 

[KatMark]

Checking in; I'll be back later to read.

You are my Disney dining heroes. Looking forward to the continued report!

Thank you! More coming right up ..... Olivia's Cafe is uploaded to Photobucket and ready to be put up.

We are trying Wolfgang Puck Express for our first time in 24 days! I can't wait to read the rest of your reviews.

You are going to love WPE. The food is SO good and they even bring it out to your table and refill your drinks for you! It's a CS with a TS feel!

Oh my I didn't know WPE had sweet potatoe fries! I'll be ordering the same sandwich on our December trip. I love those fries!!!!! Looking forward to ALL of your reviews!!!

We've had the sweet potato fries a few times yet and they are so yummYYYY!!
More reviews coming up very shortly!

Kathy!!

It's an honour to have you here too!

I do believe that!! You guys frequent WPE so often they should remember you and give you free desserts!

And you are right, if it was just me I would get my buns to WPE for dinner but someone has to pay for this trip and he insists on coming along! Seriously though, the goal is to get to DTD between 8-8:30pm so there is no reason why we will skip dinner at our fave WPE...unless Todd pulls a .... well a TODD!

How is life back in the real non-Disney world? Did you get my Facebook friend suggestions last night? I wish Facebook has a Diser name attached so I could be friends on FB with all my Dis friends

Breakfast at Olivia's Cafe at Disney's Old Key West


We knew we would be up early the first day as our inner clocks were still "set" on European time. So I had made a reservation at Olivia's Cafe for breakfast.

Once we were ready we drove over to Olivia's from our villa and checked in a little ahead of time. There were only 4 or 5 other tables taken and we were immediately seated in the little side room.

Tom ordered some coffee and I ordered some hot tea and something I had set my heart on since I knew we would stay at OKW for 21 nights.

Yip, I wanted to kick off this vacation in style and ordered the strawberries and cream.

To be honest, I was a little worried as I have not had many tasty fruit while in Florida (had one of the worst oranges there! ), but these strawberries were ripe and juicy and tasty. Could be that the brown sugar helped to enhance the flavour but they were so good! Tom and I shared the bowl of strawberries and heavenly whipped cream and soon after our main courses were served.

Tom had ordered the Breakfast Cuban - Scrambled Eggs, Sliced Pork Loin, Ham, Swiss, and Tomato on a Grilled Cuban Roll served with Breakfast Potatoes. We shared both our entrees and all I can say is that it was sooooo good. The pork loin was tender and juicy and the scrambled eggs were just seasoned right and both inside a grilled Cuban Roll .........

I ordered the Shrimp and Conch Eggs Benedict - Poached Eggs with Shrimp and Conch Cakes on a crispy English Muffin topped with Key West Hollandaise.
They were such a good choice! We had tasted Conch while in Key West last summer and knew what to expect and the shrimp and conch cakes had a lot of shrimp and conch and not too much filling. They were seasoned well and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The eggyolk was oozing over the cakes and blended so well with the Hollandaise, which had a very light citrus taste. Now imagine that on a crispy toasted English Muffin!

Needless to say we both cleaned our plates and were two happy bunnies when we left Olivia's, and all set for new adventures.

Paid - oop:
30,70 - using our TiW card

Next up - lunch at Via Napoli

Just like the PP I was reading an old review trying to work out how I had missed everything !!
Anyway I am here now and sooooo excited about reading your reviews Karin

 

[MickeyNicki]

I wonder if I can talk hubby into driving over to OKW for breakfast one day...that eggs benny looks incredible!

 

[dizneeat]

I do believe that!! You guys frequent WPE so often they should remember you and give you free desserts!

How is life back in the real non-Disney world? Did you get my Facebook friend suggestions last night? I wish Facebook has a Diser name attached so I could be friends on FB with all my Dis friends

We had so much fun with those two at WPE! We even got them a little present each while on board the WONDERful Disney WONDER! ....... and we DID get a free brownie!

Well, Todd is one of those really lucky people who can get a reservation for everything his heart desires at the very last minute, so I guess, even if you won't make it to WPE, there is always Fulton's!

Life in the real non-Disney world is so NOT fun! Getting up at 5.20 every morning doesn't add to it and even though I have Tuesdays off - the rest of the days just drags on with loads of breaks between lessons.
Well, at least I am NOT taking any exercise books home this year.

But then it is only 4 more weeks (or 28 days) until we go back to Disneyland Paris for the Halloween Weekend - I even received our party tickets in the mail last week - they have a 50% discount on them for AP holders - just what I like!

Yes, I did get your Facebook friends suggestions! I just wasn't able to send them all out yet! Got in and got right to work here - unfortunately it is one of those days when photobucket is really moody and doesn't let me upload things, but once I am done here I am going to "snoop" around facebook! Only my 3rd day there!

Just like the PP I was reading an old review trying to work out how I had missed everything !!

home, Linda!
It's easy to mix up all my dining reviews ... I should better add the year to it, but there are too many reviews for that little space in my signature.
But, you haven't missed much, I have just started and have just posted our first full day's breakfast!
