Travelling from Port Orleans French Quarter to Downtown Disney on a Boat

For many guests that stay in the Walt Disney World resorts, the normal transportation that WDW provides to Downtown Disney is a bus.  If you stay at Port Orleans French Quarter, the resort offers a shuttle boat that you can ride to get to Downtown Disney.  The boat service is great and relaxing.  On the way to Downtown Disney, the boat trip allows you to see the Tree House Villas at Saratoga Springs, golf courses, Saratoga Springs resort.  I highly recommend taking this mode of transportation if you stay at Port Orleans French Quarter.  Here is a video I took in May 2010 of the boat trip from Port Orleans French Quarter to Downtown Disney.

Holiday Ham Sandwich now being offered at Earl of Sandwich for a limited time

Earl of Sandwich just tweeted me back after seeing my blog post review of the Holiday Turkey Sandwich that they are now offering a Holiday Ham Sandwich for a limited time.  I'm not sure how long this will be offered at the Downtown Disney location, or what exactly is in the sandwich.  If you are a fan of Earl of Sandwich, check this new sandwich out.

@kalegre79 Thanks for coming by! You'll be pleased to know we are now offering a Holiday Ham Sandwich for a limited time :)

Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf and the Oven Roasted Salmon from Wolfgang Puck Express in the Marketplace section of Downtown Disney

I was looking at the posts in the Disney Foodies Facebook Group and saw an entree from Wolfgang Puck Express in the Marketplace section of Downtown Disney that got great reviews. It was of the Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf.  From the pictures that were posted, I was intrigued by the meatloaf that was wrapped with bacon strips.  Meatloaf is one of my favorite food to eat.  On my latest trip during the first week of October 2013, I made it a mission to go to Wolfgang Puck Express and get this entree to go to eat back at my room at Port Orleans French Quarter.  It is cool that Wolfgang Puck Express gives you the option to order your food to go.  As soon as I got French Quarter, I took a picture at the meatloaf.

Holiday Turkey Sandwich and the Potato Salad from Earl of Sandwich

I saw a picture post in the Disney Foodies Facebook group of a unique sandwich from Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney called the Holiday Turkey Sandwich.  I had to try this because I've never seen a sandwich like that.  I got this to go and brought it back to my room at Port Orleans French Quarter.  As soon as I took the wrapper off, I snapped a picture of it.
