Kona Breakfast Reservations

[Belleandtinker]

We will be at the poly and would like to try the Tonga Toast. Do we need reservations at Kona for breakfast? We'll be there mid-may.

If so, how long should I schedule breakfast for? We want to be at MK rope drop before 9 am.

You can make them, so I believe you do need them. Lots of people wanting that tonga toast! Don't know about the other part.

Yes. And if you want to be there for rope drop I would get the earliest time possible - probably around 7:30 a.m. so you can have a relaxing breakfast and have time to get to a spot in front of the MK to get a spot to watch RD at least 10-15 minutes before 9 a.m.

Or, you can skip Kona and go to Captain Cooks (CS) and get Tonga Toast there. No reservations needed, but they didn't have the Strawberry stuff on the side there.

We stop by Kona for breakfast on a somewhat regular basis and never have ADRs. The most we wait is 10-15 minutes.

That answered my real question - you can get tonga toast via counter service.

We like doing that too. Captain Cooks is located on the 1st floor, below Kona. They also have a self-serve Dole Whip, but it only does pineapple, vanilla, or pineapple/vanilla swirl. We usually stop there for both Tonga Toast and Dole Whip - occasionally for the same meal

It's never a bad thing to have a restaurant reservation at WDW, and at the busiest times of year and day, you might even need it for breakfast. But I don't think I've ever needed a reservation for any non-character breakfast anywhere in the resort.
