Well today we started the morning off at Epcot. When lunch time rolled around, my kids wanted McDonald's. Once again I only used 1 counter service and with that we got a 9 piece chicken nuggets w/large fries, diet coke and a orange and vanilla McFlurry. This meal was shared between myself, my husband and the two boys. We were trying to eat light because we had ADR tonight for Kona Cafe at 6:40. At about 1:30 my DH took my
DS4 back to the hotel for a nap and my daughter, her friend, my 7 year old and myself headed over to Magic Kingdom to hit some rides before dinner. We got there about 2:30 and by this time I was hungry. We hit Space Mountain, Stitch and The Indy Cars and then it started pouring. When the rain started we found ourselves at Columbia Harbor House (which is a place I have been wanting to try from good reviews I have read on these boards.) So this was my chance, but I didn't want to eat too much since we had
dinner reservations in 3 hours. Well since I have way too many counter services left, I decided I would get the Anchor's Aweigh Sandwich w/fries, D Coke and Chocolate Cake. I knew I wasn't gonna eat it all but I really just wanted to try it. The sandwich was very good and fresh. It was the best tuna sandwich I have had in a long time. It was very hard to stop eating it. I only ate half. My son ate the fries which were also good. They were very thick like steak fries. Neither one of us ate the cake. Well the rain stopped and we hit a few more rides. Then it was time for dinner.
KONA CAFE:
We arrived at the Poly at about 6:15. My daughter and her friend were already there waiting for us but because it was pouring rain again, my DH and DS were still trying to get there. So, I waited to check in until my ressie time of 6:40. I was then given a pager and it only took about 5 minutes until we were seated. My DH and DS were still not there but very close. They were on the bus and on their way. So I went ahead and ordered their drinks and their appetizers. Our server was the best of the trip. Her name was Jean and she was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble.
Here is what we ordered:
Myself: sticky wings (awesome), prime rib, mashed potatoes and broccoli (best meal I have ever had on Disney property.) For dessert I had the Kona Cone. I was so full but managed to finish off this cone. It was so good but I love ice cream.
DH: crab cakes, Filet and Kileau Torte and White Chocolate Cheesecake ( I will explain the two desserts).
He liked the crab cakes but loved my wings, he liked the Filet but loved my prime rib and he ordered the Kileau Torte but our server saw that he wasn't eating it. He told her he did not like it and she insisted on bringing him another dessert (even though he told her not to worry about it about 10 times.) So she brought him the White Choc Cheesecake which he really enjoyed. Overall he liked his meal but wished he would have ordered what I ordered.
DD: Well since my 16 year old eats like a 5 year old, I told her to order the Kona Salad as her app since I knew she wouldn't eat anything on the menu that way I could try it. I took a bite but really didn't care for it. She ordered Macaroni and Cheese and she had the Kona Cone for dessert. She loved her meal.
DD best friend: Sticky wings, Prime Rib and Kona Cone. She ate every bite and really loved her meal.
DS7: Strawberry and banana smoothie (which I tried and it was very good) grilled cheese sandwich and kid sundae. Once again, he loved his meal and ate it all.
DS4: Chicken fingers and fries and kids sundae. He loved his meal.
Kona is my new favorite resturant at Disney. It blows Ohanas away. I am glad I finally got to try it and can't wait to go back. Sorry this was so long.
