Kona - beverage on dining plan?

[CindyIsMyFave]

First foray into DDP world here and I have to make up my mind for Sept. soon! So I may come up with a few little random questions today and tomorrow -

For breakfast on the DDP or DxDP, I know it's an entree and a beverage. So my question for those who've done Kona on the plan is: would the French press pot of Kona count for 2 drinks for DH and I? Or do they not permit it on the plan at all?

If I can't do the French press pot, does the Lilikoi juice count as a beverage? Or is it too expensive at 3.99 and we are limited to things like sodas, OJ, regular coffee, etc.?

Thanks!

I was going to ask exactly the same question about French Press pot. The only real coffee in WDW!. Hopefully somebody answers.

Regards!

I'm not a coffee drinker, so don't know about the coffee, but I have gotten a virgin pina colava as a beverage several times at Kona, while on the DDP. I've also gotten a smoothie there for my breakfast beverage. Both are more expensive than the Lilikoi juice is.

If your husband wants the pressed coffee pot, they will give him a serving for one. That wouldnt count as your beverage...esp if you dont like coffee! Lol. So dont worry.

the press pot is for 2 people so it counts as 2 drinks. It cannot be made for 1 person. Lilikoi juice is on the plan as well

Excellent! We would be perfectly happy with following:

1 Kona french press pot (counting as our 2 drinks)
2 tonga toasts

It sounds like that will not make us go off the plan or pay OOP, so that's what I needed to know!

Thanks all!
