I'm glad you all enjoyed your Kona breakfasts! I'm still undecided between Tonga Toast and Pancakes!! (Even those blueberry ones looked really good!!!)
We will have to see what the mood strikes us for that day! (I've heard rumors of Pumpkin Pancakes for fall!! Those might become an option as well!!)
Oh my gosh - If they offer pumpkin pancakes I may have to return in the fall. I get the Trader Joes pumpkin pancake mix around this time of the year and make them with maple butter and pecans - yum!
Yep, 1 point for your effort with the pancakes and another point for your Dis meet with pic...bringing your total to
22
Good job!
Thanks for the freebie point Barb! Totally undeserved but appreciated!
Funny but I have no idea how I'm doing since I don't see anyone else with points so I'm feeling extra special with my DR!!!
Now you have Dismeet #9 revealed.
I loved your Kona breakfast and love your task list. That kind of things adds a nice cohesion to a DR.
Thanks NOP! (Borrowed that term from Jabead - hope you don't mind!
) The List of 18 was not only fun but challenged me to try some new things and expand my horizons!
I second your opinion about the Wishes Dessert Party. Great view, so-so desserts. Miniature desserts don't seem that hard to make so I'm not sure why Disney couldn't make this a better event.
The pineapple macadamia nut pancakes are my favorites too. And I like mine just like you do, a plain pancake with the topping. I usually order the Big Kahuna because the rest of my family doesn't mind to finish off my meat and potatoes and I can eat the smaller pancake portion on that platter.
Didn't know you could easily substitute fruit or eggs for the meat sides. Thanks for the tip, Brenda!
Hi Rachel! After several times of getting the macadamia pancakes I had read here about someone just getting the toppings on regular pancakes! Thanks DisBoards for the hint!! And the funny thing is that I LOVE macadamia nuts but they just got to be too much and I think the last time they were too toasted because they were not so good.
I got the Big Kahuna the first time and only ate the pancakes and some of the french toast but if there were any takers for the rest of the items, they weren't sitting at my table!!
Great review of Kona! I have not eaten breakfast there, but man those pancakes look good. I can't wait to hear what you thought of Tonys!!
Lori you should consider putting Kona on your breakfast list some day!! Here's a preview of Tony's for you... it was the better experience between the 2 times that we have dined there.
Love the coffee at Kona. 2 years ago a sweet CM who understood our desperate need for a "real" cup of coffee gave us a Kona coffee on the house. It might have been 90+ degrees out but it was great! Reviews look great!
That was very nice of them to offer the complimentary coffee. Heck, I understand the craving regardless of what the thermometer says!!
I want to try the Tonga Toast soooooo badly!!!!
I saw that Rainforest Cafe at AK serves it, which is making the lack of a TH ressie okay right now. I'm a big fan of french toast, so that is right up my alley!
Although I have a question that maybe someone here can answer. Okay, it's NOT ME!!! But I have a friend that doesn't like bananas and wonders if you can get the tonga toast without the banana filling?
Hi Christen! Hmmm... not sure I have heard of the Tonga toast without the bananas. But now that I see mom2of2's comment - apparently you can. That's good news!!!
Oh, and I've had the french toast before and it was fine - nothing special but ok.
EXACTLY!! You know it Debra!
Ooh I really like the idea of ordering the pancakes without the macadamia nuts inside (I know what you mean about it getting a "bit too much" after a while) and having the nut butter and pineapple on top
Just like your bum strawberry at the dessert party, I had a bum serving of Tonga Toast at Kona last time we were there but I would live to give it another try
Right, I'm off to have my breakfast now and as much as I love oatmeal, it isn't going to seem quite the same after reading this review!!
See, we are two brave souls willing to try something a second time. I'll have another chocolate strawberry and you can have the TT again!
I need to PM you and touch base for the 27th.. I've eaten at a few more places at D-land that may be contenders for our meet up. I have some ideas but as much as I plan ahead of time for WDW trips, I'm a lazy slug when it comes to D-land since we don't ever have a plan!
Have a lovely day!
Yes, you can get Tonga toast without banannas
Thanks so much mom2of2 for helping out. That's good to know!
Great review!!
I'm so excited for Kona, my parents will be joining us for that breakfast and I have informed them..... DM to get Pankcakes, DD to get the big Kahuna and DH to get Samoan, and I get TT,
I need to try a little of everything!!
I agree with you, calling the cooks idiots is not very Disney like nor professional, we've had employees who just can't handle correcting mistakes, I think some people get flustered and just blurt things out
lol! I'm glad your meal was good and you had a Dismeet! And that picture of your daughter is very pretty
You are soooo funny!!! You have already assigned breakfasts. Sounds like an excellent plan!
Thanks for the compliment for the photo!
