Dinner - Olivia's or Kona?
Which would you choose? We're staying at OKW but visiting MK MH so either location is convenient. We're DVC members and only have had breakfast at Olivia's so far.

Seems Olivia's is one of the hidden gems in WDW, like OKW. We love it because its a bit more quiet, layed back and the food is great!
All WDW restaurants have their special theming and locations and food, so overall its a subjective choice! What ever you do..........We wish we were *Home * (joined DVC in 1993)at OKW too, and hope you enjoy your Disney vacation.  AKK |

Both are good.
Rare as I would almost always say Kona. If I were ordering Steak or big on dessert and coffee -press pot please-I would go out of my way for Kona. I Think Kona has the best NY strip at Disne unless you have a hate for a mild teriyaki flavor (excluding Shula's however different concept). Other than that either is likley one of the best you will eat at in Disney. |

We have dined at both, and enjoyed our meals at each place. If I had to choose only one for dinner, the edge would go to Kona.

When staying at OKW, we go to Olivia's. I would pick Kona food over Olivia's though. It is a tough one. If Kona fits into your schedule, thn I would do Kona. You are DVC and will probably stay at OKW again. I would definitely do Olivia's for dinner at some point in the future.

We love
Olivia's because it is different than most Disney restaurants and when we stay at Old Key West it is very convenient but we also love Downtown Disney restaurants and they are easy to get to by boat.
We had a ressie at Kona last year but had a miserable check in experience and left without eating. I may try it again but not any time soon.

Olivia's for us, it's fast becoming a favorite for us. With respect to quality the two restaurants are probably close but the menus are quite different. You should have a look and see which selections best fit the needs of your group.

It would be Kona's for me! The atmosphere isn't fabulous but I'll admit I've tried like 8 different things there and they were all fantastic!!! I'm a pretty picky eater too. Lol also, my mom has severe allergies to many different foods so usually her meals are kinda bland, her food there was wonderful! I highly recommend Kona's!
