We were up bright and early this morning, ready for breakfast at Kona, followed by a day in the Magic Kingdom!
We were showered, dressed and out the door by 7:15. Our ADR wasn't until 8:05, but I wanted to make sure that we'd have plenty of time since we'd have to walk to the Poly from the MK.
As we waited for the bus to arrive, I crossed the street and took a couple shots of the empty pool area:
Everything was so quiet and serene. And I loved how our surroundings had that early morning glow, as the sun was still rising and reflecting off everything.
Before long, the bus had arrived and we were on our way to breakfast. The driver dropped us off at the MK, and we made the short walk over to the Poly.
We were right on time and checked in right away.
We were seated immediately, and there were only 3 or 4 tables at most already seated. Of course, I had to get a pic of the Lilo & Stitch statues since they are 2 of my favorites!
Since I'd read so many great reviews about the Tonga Toast, I already knew what I was having. And I'd talked it up to Mike so much that he was ordering the same thing!
Within a few minutes, our waiter finally made it to our table. He asked if it was our first time dining at Kona, and it was. He also asked if we were on the Dining Plan, to which we also replied yes. I would have figured at that point that he would have taken the time to go over the menu with us, but he didn't. Instead, he just took our orders and left.
I was so excited to finally be trying the famous Tonga Toast, so fortunately, it arrived pretty quickly. We both decided to have bacon on the side.
It was definitely sweet, but good. The only thing I would change is to put less bananas in the middle. I like bananas okay, but not a lot of them. Actually, if you could order it without the bananas in the middle, it would be absolutely perfect!
We finished our meal within no time and were ready to go. We ended up sitting there for a few minutes before our waiter finally came back around and re-filled our glasses. We told him that we were ready for our check, so he left for a few more minutes before he finally brought it back.
I really like Kona, but unfortunately the not so great service left something to be desired. I guess he was just having a bad day, but we weren't going to let it ruin our day! We paid the bill and were on the monorail back to the MK by 8:35!
cant wait for your next one
I just realized that you had this TR. Love the pics. I'm still working on my TR, but kinda slowly, but surely. Been busy getting DD ready for Prom, etc. So I'll get caught up soon.
