I have a vote for "Best of the Best" that might confuse some of you. Actually, it probably should be categorized under "WDW's best kept secrets". I'd like to say that Captain Cook's at the Poly is pretty top notch in my book. Sure, the food isn't what you'd find at a 3-star restaurant, and the atmosphere isn't exactly upscale, but here's why I'm nominating it......
1. Despite this being a CS place, they serve breakfast dishes that you can get upstair's at the Kona Cafe, but it costs about 25-30% less than the Kona does. (Who can resist those big sausage links they serve? These aren't those crappy, shriveled up Denny's sausage links were're talkin about here.
) Also, this is the only other place you can get a full order of Tonga Toast.....for a few bucks less than at Kona! And this way, if you want, you can eat your Tonga Toast at one of the tables outside. (Ooooooh! Ahhhhh!)
2. Convenience. I can't tell you how many times I made the 1-minute trek to Captain Cook's to refill my mug.
3. Five words:
Self-serve Dole Whip, baby!
4. This is the only food service place/restaurant I can think of that has actually improved significantly over the past several years. Remember when CC's used to serve cold sandwiches that had been sitting in the refrigerated case for a while? Yeah.......not pleasant. Now your food doesn't get made until you order it, and, if I do say so myself, the food quality is a lot better than what it used to be.
5. The value. Let's compare:
-At most places around WDW, for around
$13 you'll get a cheeseburger, some fries and a small soda.
-At CC's, for around
$9 you'll get an Aloha Pork sandwich which consists of hot BBQ pulled pork, cucumbers, cole slaw, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese on a pineapple-coconut hoagie roll, along with chips and a small drink.
I tried the Aloha pork sandwich, and it's actually quite good....especially for only $6.99.
6.
The selection. <---This menu is outdated, as they don't show all of the breakfast items they now serve, but at least you'll get the gist of what they have.
I want to do the Behind the Seeds Tour eventually. Hopefully once Julia gets her next chair that will ideally be smaller. Her current chair may be a problem in the tour.
I would be immobile with you.... I love it! Yummmmo!
Even though I'm not really a person who likes to garden, I still wouldn't mind taking the tour either. It looks interesting.
) is kind of like an overbearing cartoon character that's aimed at teens, but the old Figgy was so wuvable and cute.
Heck, Dreamfinder was kind of a hottie. LOL
