Those ghiradelli sundaes look awesome! Loving your dining report so far!
Sorry for being late to the party, but I'm here now and all caught up! Your review of Tony's has me thinking. If I do return to WDW in the fall for F & W, my favorite MK restaurant will be closed for refurb (LTT) so I just might give Tony's another chance. As for your Ghirardelli sundae photos... WOW! I've had three trips now without a visit to Ghirardelli and now I'm wondering, what the heck was I thinking!!!
I really need to get to Kona one of these days for breakfast, your entree looks sooooo good!! I love days off from the parks, it's so relaxing. I too would love to stay one night at the bugalows at the Poly!
I have yet to get a sundae from Ghirardelli! I am headed down next month for an agent AEP trip. We are staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge and Polynesian. We have been having so much fun making dining reservations last minute...we have Be our guest breakfast and lunch, Sanna, Ohana, Kona, Via Napoli, and Hollywood and Vine fantasmic. I know it doesn't get great reviews but we wanted to see for ourselves.
I have yet to eat at Kona for breakfast. It does look good and while the fountain in the lobby isn't very big I do like the changes.
That brownie sundae looks amazing. I will most definitely be getting that next time!
So this update officially made me off the charts excited for our (first time) Poly check-in in 25 days!!! And also our first time Kona breakfast ADR. Now if I could just decide between the Tonga Toast or the Macadamia nut pancakes.
I love the new walking path from SSR to DTD!
OMG those sundaes!
Caramelized Apple and Crumble Crunch Ice Cream?!!! That's going at the top of my must-try snack list for our next trip! I love apple anything and I'm seriously drooling at the thought of that ice cream, LOL!
So happy to find another of your dining reports, you and Rob are one of my favourite Disney-loving couples!
Rob's brownie sundae at Ghiradelli's looks very decadent!
Yeah for The Samoan!!!! It's my favorite at Kona too. Of course i haven't even tried anything else, but can't fathom ordering anything else.
And ice cream and beer cocktails for "lunch" sounds like perfection to me. Your ice cream especially looks amazing as I worship at the feet of all thing caramel.
Can't wait to see what dinner has in store.
I don't even like ice cream (totally un-American, I know !!) but that brownie sundae looks fantastic.
Your Kona breakfast looks amazing!! I have want to try this dish for some time now, but can't make myself not order the pineapple macadamia nut pancakes! There's just too many good choices there!!
I went back & looked at that photo of the shrimp scampi Rob got at Tony's - it looks like there were a lot of shrimp in that portion!!
I believe that the pressed pot is the only way to get the 100% Kona coffee. The rest is a blend.My DH would love that pressed pot too........oh wait......is that pressed pot coffee different than if you just order a cup @ Kona?

Following along-great report so far!
Kona will be a must for us on our next trip!!! I miss it & your pictures look AMAZING!!!!!!! My DH would love that pressed pot too........oh wait......is that pressed pot coffee different than if you just order a cup @ Kona?

I'm loving your report! I'm a bit older than you are (48) so Little River Band is something I'd have loved to see!
Oh, and don't even say the word "off kilter"! Disney needs to bring them back!
This is the first food report I have read and I am really enjoying it.
Thank You
The Samoan looks amazing. Kona breakfast is on our must do list.
Oh man those sundaes from Ghirardelli's look amazing!!! I've only even taken advantage of the sample chocolate there. But I'm thinking it might be time for a change.
On average, how long would a group of four be at 'Ohana for breakfast? We have reservations for 9:05 for our last day there. However, I just found out that the Magic Express bus picks you up for the airport 3 hours before your flight. That would mean that we would be getting picked up at 11:15. I'm getting worried that we won't make it back to Caribbean Beach to get our stuff, and get on the Magic Express with enough time. But, I really don't want to have to cancel our reservations for 'Ohana Any thoughts?
o mThanks so much for joining in!
I think that is the case as well. I have had both and I have enjoyed both, but the pressed pot was a little more quality.
I hope you do get to try Kona on your next trip! It is well worth the trip to Poly!
Thanks so much! They were great! Those concerts they put on at Epcot are a blast.
I'm so sad they are gone as well. It's just not the same going past that area of World Showcase.
Thank you so much! So glad you are enjoying it!
It most definitely is. It is so hard to eat here and get anything else. The flavor is so unique. I hope you get to check out Kona soon!
It's funny because I'm the exact opposite. I never remember to go into the store for the free chocolate! I think I'm too full when I leave the other side to have more food on the brain.
Hmmmm, I haven't done 'Ohana breakfast in many years, but I would say it probably depends on how thorough you plan on being with the character interaction. Any chance you can move the breakfast even earlier than 9:05? If you made it a little earlier and don't rely on Disney transportation to get from Poly to Caribbean Beach and take a taxi instead you should be fine. We are never too long at character meals and are fine if we have to leave before a character gets to us, but you may not feel the same way. Definitely let your server know you are in a bit of a time crunch if it is starting to get too late so you can take care of the bill and all that good stuff. Hope it works out for you and you still get a chance to enjoy their breakfast!
