Got to say that Kona café, although a favourite of mine, is the only place we have ever had service issues on property. We are back there (for dinner) in a few weeks so hoping for a slightly more attentive server this time.

Brenda's Kona Café Breakfast Contribution
I will proudly admit that I am one of those die-hard Kona breakfast fans that Barb mentioned. This was our 7th breakfast at Kona in just over 3 years so you can see that we are quite the Kona lovers!
Before we were seated we were able to meet DeeDee! That was a nice surprise since we were looking forward to meeting her the next day!
Group Photo - looks pretty much the same as Barbs!
I was looking forward to those pineapple macadamia nut pancakes. Actually, I've had the macadamia nut pancakes in the past but they are a bit too rich for my tastes so now I have evolved to simply ordering a regular stack of pancakes and asking for the toppings on the side. Since Em is a blueberry pancake lover there was zero chance that she would split an order of pancakes with me. However, I was in luck since Paula was willing to split the pancakes. And even better, she was willing to get the pineapple topping and macadamia nut butter on the side.
I also ordered a scrambled egg on the side since I didnt mind Paula having the bacon that came with the pancakes.
Em started with a cappuccino which she said was very weak in flavor and low on foam. I doubt shell get one of those again!
We had the condiments delivered in advance of the food. It was interesting to see the strawberry sauce set before us when I thought that was reserved for the Tonga Toast. I guess I am wrong on that assumption.
Once the food arrived Em immediately poured the strawberry sauce over her blueberry pancakes which she said didnt necessarily make them better but it was a new taste experience between the blueberries and the strawberry. According to Em, the pancakes were ok, nothing spectacular but edible.
As for the pancakes that Paula and I were splitting .. I realized that the little side of pineapple topping and macadamia nut butter were not going to be nearly enough for both of us to share. Since it shouldnt have been a problem to ask for more (even if I had to pay for a side) I told Paula that she could have the toppings and I would ask for more. I waited, and waited, and waited for an opportunity to flag down our server to ask for extra toppings. That and the fact that I hadnt received my scrambled egg warranted his attention. After waiting with my naked pancakes far too long for them to still be warm I dug in and just used the syrup that was on the table. Needless to say, this was a disappointment since the toppings are what set these pancakes apart from just ordinary ones.
The only photo of the pancakes with the toppings...
My half:
Oh look! Someone made use of that strawberry sauce. Em added it to her blueberry pancakes.
The good news is that I didnt have a problem finishing the ½ order of pancakes. I am determined to return and I will try this again!
And as to the mystery of which Diser was able to finish a stack of those pineapple macadamia nut pancakes... it wasn't me!

Brenda, I remembered that you ended up having to eat your pancakes plain, which was a travesty. 
But I had forgotten that you never received your order of scrambled eggs. And then our server had the nerve to make a big deal out of getting his manager to take them off your bill, like he was doing you a huge favor. GEEEEZZZ, really dude?!?!

We were actually due to have breakfast at Kona a couple of days after you guys
We ended up cancelling when I heard that they didn't have the pumpkin pancakes special that they had on the menu for the 2012 holidays
Shame the service wasn't great, I have to admit for our last breakfast there we also had service issues

So sorry the Kona breakfast didn't turn out so grand. We've eaten at Kona 4 times, breakfast and dinner, and I can't say we've ever had what I'd call excellent service.
Our first breakfast there, my son ordered the lilikoi juice. After his 4th refill the waitress said "you do know those aren't free refills." Wish she would have told us sooner.
But, like Brenda, I keep going back for the macadamia nut pancakes.

Yes, apparently it is a big deal when they don't deliver all the food to your table... it puts them out to have to remove it from the bill. I suppose I should have thanked him more for removing the charge for what I didn't eat!

You got that right Rachel! I will be back! They can't scare me off that easily.
Okay, here we go! 
To give you a brief overview, we drove from SC to the World on Saturday, December 7th. We checked into the absolutely beautiful Wilderness Lodge around 7 pm and hotfooted it over to the International Gateway entrance to Epcot to activate the kids AP vouchers/magic bands. We were getting close to Illuminations, which I did not want to miss, so we grabbed a quick dinner at Les Halles of Ham and Cheese croissants. We literally swung by L'Artisan des Glaces to pick up a scoop of Mango sorbet for me, Lemon sorbet for DH, Gingerbread ice cream for DS, and Chocolate ice cream for DD1.
We hurried to the bridge between France and England to watch Illuminations with the holiday tag, which was just AMAZING!!
Little known to me at the time, this viewing spot was actually our first encounter with what I called the "Six degrees of Barb" experience, similar to the oft expressed six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Barb and the Illuminations cruise group were under the very bridge my family and I were standing on! It was amazing how close the paths crossed or almost crossed over the length of the trip!
And now with the general first evening explanation covered, onto the review.
On the first day of our Christmas trip, our family chose to eat...Breakfast at Kona Cafe(if you sing this to "On the first day of Christmas.....it almost works!)
We tend to eat at Kona for breakfast once every trip. We had an early ADR, and we were seated about five minutes after they opened.
Despite being one of the first tables to be seated, like Barb, Paula, Hunter, Brenda, and Em experienced, we found the service to be slow and honestly somewhat scattered.
DH had Tonga Toast with bacon.
Tonga Toast is DH's favorite "go to" at Kona and while the service was a little lacking, he found his breakfast to be just as good as ever.
I had scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes.
Like Brenda, I like a little protein for breakfast. I really enjoyed it and felt fueled up to take on MK!
DS had French Toast and DD1 had a scrambled egg with cinnamon toast.
As you can see by DS's woefully sad, lonely french toast plate, he gave his bacon to his sister. The kids enjoyed their breakfast and were more than ready to RIDE SOME RIDES!!
As we waited, and waited for the check, I noticed that I thought I recognized two people out in the waiting area, Paula and Hunter. A few minutes later, Brenda and Em arrived followed by Barb. As I recognized them from their dining report photos, I scared the bejeebus out of them by walking up and introducing myself after first ascertaining that yes indeed, my eyes were not playing tricks on me. I would have loved to stay and chat, but I fear the buzz offspring would have mutinied had I delayed the MK any longer.
It was okay though, because I knew I would be seeing them all later that afternoon!

Great first review, thanks DeeDee and again welcome to our reporting team! 
I know that we will see you a couple more times during our trip, but it will be fun to see how many other times we were at the same park/resort/restaurant at around the same time.
So Paula has been given some time off from her reporter duties (with pay of course) to do some wine and food tasting in Napa Valley with Hunter. Therefore, we are going to skip over Paula's Kona review for now and she will post it sometime next week when she gets back. But no worries folks, 'cause our team still has 3 other breakfasts to review!

while everyone was at kona, emme & i made our way to animal kingdom. we tend to always spend our last few hours at animal kingdom.
marie minnie was stylin on the tram
this is my favorite tree during the holidays.
she still carrying the piggy bank around.
after an unsuccessful attempt to purchase a croissant (they were all sold out), we went to a stand and got some breakfast for emme.
over-priced watermelon
the first batch of watermelon was not the freshest so i took it back & got this. although it looked sweet, the watermelon was not sweet. total bummer as this portion cost me $4.00. emme still ate it as she was hungry & it was better than nothing.
she also got a yogurt that cost $2.50. i didn't even take a picture of the over-priced yogurt...i was too agitated with the cost of it.
for myself, i chose from the same kiosk:
Jalapeno cheese stuffed pretzel
this is probably my favorite snack at the park. since it was still early, the pretzel was soft and the cheese was gooey. it was very tasty.
we had FP+ for kilimanjaro safaris & had some time to kill, so i changed my fp+ time & headed for mickey & minnie meet & greet.
minnie & mickey were so cute in their matching holiday wear!
minnie gushed over the minnie marie doll & mickey loved the target bullseye dog dressed in mickey costume.
i still couldn't get over how cute these two were in their matching outfits. it was probably one of the best meet & greets we've had at disney.
i used this image on our holiday cards.
and emme has perfected the "i'm not going to look at the camera" pose quite well.
after the awesome interaction & a few rides it was time for lunch. more on that later.

Patty: I love those Mickey and Minnie outfits at AK! I wish we had taken time to go see them. Emme is adorable with her little pals. 
DeeDee: We were glad to have the surprise meet up in advance of the tea. It was a bonus to meet your family.

I want to preface this review by saying that I like breakfast food ... I just prefer it about 10:30am or Friday night for dinner! So that on top of my two hours sleep the night before caused me to bail on the Kona breakfast to get a bit of extra sleep. I told the group after the Cruise that I would just meet them in the MK after breakfast.
But I knew I had to eat something so ... Starbucks/MSB it was!
Got my iced tea and ham egg & cheese sandwich and enjoyed watching the "World" go by.
The sandwich was Ok, it did its job of satisfying my hunger. I did really enjoy the time just soaking in the MK though.
After breakfast I met up with Barb, Brenda & Em and Paula & Hunter to meet talking Mickey. He wanted us to be pirates ...
If I am being honest, I thought he was a bit creepy!
A bit later in the morning, I definitely needed a snack . We stopped by the Big Top for a treat. First the choices ...
My choice was one of my favorite Disney snacks -- chocolate covered pineapple.
I prefer dark chocolate but this was tasty as always and hit the spot!

The photo of Em drinking her coffee is so cute!!
Those pancakes look delish...but not enough pineapple topping seems like a deal breaker!
LOVE the Mickey and Minnie Christmas outfits in AK! So cute!!
Also, love the group shots with Mickey --- how fun!

Hi All!
On a side note, Corey and I booked our trips to Disneyland last week for 4th of July weekend! We are keeping the disney on 4th of july tradition going! If anyone has suggestions let me know!
Anyways, I was asked to review my club level experience, so here it goes!
We stayed at Yacht Club club level for two nights. That is about all I could afford! Haha. I think it was about $400 a night which I thought was good. I had to try it so I thought it would be perfect for this trip. By the way, we had a triple stay for our 5 night trip! Haha that was a little intense. We are doing a triple stay again in March, but that is 8 nights.
My first experience with club level was on Barb's stay where I had this nasty cold glob. I don't even know what it was. It was like salsa consistency.
I don't even remember what was on this plate. I know they were potstickers but I am not sure of the other thing. I liked "the other thing" better than the potstickers though!
I also had a glass of white wine, which was just lovely!
That was my end of free club level! Corey and I moved over Sunday and had a quick breakfast. I loved their fruit and oatmeal. Corey loved their pastries. It was so great to get something in your belly before the parks to not have to go to a meal. The best thing about club level is that you can ask them for bottled water at any time during the day and they will get it for you. We always got water on the way out of the hotel and then asked them to leave some in our room for when we returned!
The trees in the club level lobby were so pretty!
That night we weren't going to be able to go to dessert time so we had them leave them in our room. Sadly, I didn't get to experience any dessert time which i was mad about, but that is okay!
These were pretty gross! Nothing was really too good or flavorful.
I think these pics are from our first night with the appetizer hour.
Corey LOVED the apples and caramel and those rolls(not pictured) he ate a lot of the rolls.
I have no idea what these were but I did not try.
Tomato/Mozz Salad. My favorite of all nights there! I love tomato and mozz so I ate a bunch of this!
more of the not so good potstickers and conch fritters. The conch fritters were good! Yum! They came with a yummy sauce.
Wine! <3
The last night I had these delicious bacon wrapped things. It wasn't scallops but I think they were some sort of sausage. I also loved the veggies!
There was some sort of greek artichoke thing in that little cup. I didn't really care for it.
One my last night after Corey left I was literally on the toilet going pee and I looked down and saw this 4 inch cockroach!!!! I screamed and opened the door as fast as possible then slammed the door and freaked out. I do not do bugs. However, that little bugger escaped under the door. I freaked out and then grabbed the trash can and put it on top of the critter! Then i freaked and called maintenance to come kill it. They were taking too long so I called concierge. He came right away and just had a towel to kill it. He lifted up the garbage and no joke said woah those are some big antennas! He was scared too! But he got the bug and killed it! Hooray!
All in all minus the bug mishap I really enjoyed my concierge experience. I definitely am not going to be addicted to but I could do a couple days here and there. I don't think yacht club is the greatest club level so I really want to try animal kingdom lodge club level. I loved the service and the food and really liked it!

Rachel I don't think I'll remember anything about your conch fritters or gross desserts but I will remember that monster cockroach!! Yikes!! 
After having a very busy morning of attempting to conquer all the rides in MK, it was time for a bite to eat.
And literally for me, I do mean a few bites, because I had big plans involving a certain group of ladies and gentleman I wanted to meet.
On the first day of our Christmas trip, our family chose to eat...Lunch at Liberty Tree.
Liberty Tree Tavern is one of our "go to" restaurants in the World. Since DS has had history class in school, he has enjoyed sitting in the different rooms dedicated to various historical figures. On this particular visit, we were seated in the Paul Revere room.
I must note before I begin the reviews that Liberty Tree was packed, and I do mean packed to the gills with people waiting to be seated. I have never seen more people waiting in the check in area, even during higher traffic periods at WDW. It felt like everyone was stacked up on top of each other, not a pleasant feeling at all so you can imagine the relief we felt when the town crier announced our name to be seated.
As I had other, solo plans that did not include the children or DH, I did not want too much to eat so DH and I split the Colony Salad. I love this salad, the apples, nuts, cranberries and cheese perfectly complement the grilled chicken and spring mix base.
This was a perfect, light lunch for us. I honestly wish I could have had this salad for dinner tonight!
DS opted to have the appetizer mozzarella cheese sticks as his entree.
They must have hit the spot because he literally inhaled them!
DD1 chose the kids mac and cheese as her entree.
To me this portion looks a little watery, but DD ate a good bit of this before she threw in the towel. She told me it tasted very good.
DH wanted a little something for dessert and since we have had the Toffee Cake before and in the spirit of reviewing items for the thread, we picked a new to us dessert at LTT, the Johnny Appleseed Cake.
I believe this cake is served during dinner hours at LTT as well. It is a white cake with apples and cranberries inside with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce on top.
I found the portion I tried to be good. It was a pretty light dessert option, particularly when compared to the yummy, but filling Toffee Cake. There was a nice amount of fruit inside the cake and the cake itself was not overly sweet.
Lunch done, I had somewhere important to be.......

It felt like everyone was stacked up on top of each other, not a pleasant feeling at all so you can imagine the relief we felt when the town crier announced our name to be seated.
As I had other, solo plans that did not include the children or DH, I did not want too much to eat so DH and I split the Colony Salad. I love this salad, the apples, nuts, cranberries and cheese perfectly complement the grilled chicken and spring mix base.
This was a perfect, light lunch for us. I honestly wish I could have had this salad for dinner tonight!
DS opted to have the appetizer mozzarella cheese sticks as his entree.
They must have hit the spot because he literally inhaled them!
DD1 chose the kids mac and cheese as her entree.
To me this portion looks a little watery, but DD ate a good bit of this before she threw in the towel. She told me it tasted very good.
DH wanted a little something for dessert and since we have had the Toffee Cake before and in the spirit of reviewing items for the thread, we picked a new to us dessert at LTT, the Johnny Appleseed Cake.
I believe this cake is served during dinner hours at LTT as well. It is a white cake with apples and cranberries inside with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce on top.
I found the portion I tried to be good. It was a pretty light dessert option, particularly when compared to the yummy, but filling Toffee Cake. There was a nice amount of fruit inside the cake and the cake itself was not overly sweet.
Lunch done, I had somewhere important to be.......
Rachel, I can not stand cockroaches. I would have flipped out had one that large been staring at me.
There would have been no need for me to call anyone because:
1) I would have screamed so loudly the entire floor would have come running,
or
2) I would have passed out from fright.
