Recent Wilderness Lodge AND Polynesian concierge guests; breakfast questions!

[SeaSpray]

Hello

We're staying at the Wilderness Lodge concierge and then the Polynesian concierge. Originally I planned on having breakfast each morning at the concierge lounge, but I just read about some minor changes to the offerings at the Polynesian, and the items that they are still offering don't suit my family very well.

So, I'm thinking that I should make some breakfast PSs, at least for some of the mornings. Can those of you who've been to the Wilderness Lodge concierge and/or the Polynesian concierge RECENTLY please tell me what exactly they offered for breakfast in the morning, and what time the lounge opened for breakfast in the morning.

Thanks!

This may not be recent enough for you but we were at the Polynesian in May...actually checked out a month ago today I think. Anyway, the lounge opened for coffee and tea at 6:30. Breakfast service started at 7am.

As far as exactly what was offered, it was pretty much as it's been as best I recall. Pineapple bread, bagels, danish, fresh fruit, cold cereal, bread for toast etc.. Didn't notice about oatmeal which I know matters to some....can't stand it myself so I didn't notice. There is a coffee machine for lattes but it was there when we were there in the fall as well. Anything specific you were wondering about?

I got back a couple of days ago from the Poly concierge.

Everyday the following items were out

Bagels/regular cream cheese
Pineapple bread
Cheese danish
Croissants
Assorted fruit cup thing - like all in a big bowl
Apples/oranges/bananas
Fruit loops
Raisin Bran
Cheerios
Frosted Flakes
Oj, coffee, milk, cranberry juice
Other drinks (sodas) available upon request

For a 3-4 day trip I can handle that for breakfast everyday however for a week trip it gets old toward the end.

Hope that helps.

We stayed at W Lodge concierge and had the following.

**Most mornings ~ bagels for toasting with cream cheese, butter, jams, peanutbutters

All mornings ~ toast, fruit (watermelon, canteloupe), bananas, apples, muffins (blueberry, chocolate, poppyseed) , boxed mini cereals like fruit loops, Raisin Bran, Frosted Flakes, Corn Flakes, coffee, tea, milk, chocolate milk, juices, hot chocolate mix

** I only mention this because 2 out of 5 breakfasts we had there were no bagels

Oh, that's right. And that was new at least since our last stay in Hawaii in the fall. We had never seen them in our other stays either.

There were also some new desserts. Little swans filled with cream or custard (didn't try them) some little cakes I had not seen before, petits fours too.

sounds like you are gonna have agreat trip
if you arent sure of the offering send them an email and ask them what availabel then you will know for sure and then you can go from there
good luck

Thanks everyone!

Hmm....cinnamon rolls sound really good

And the fruit danish and watermelon at the WL sound good too. We like danish, except for cheese danish.

After seeing everything that is available, including the bananas in the morning, I think concierge breakfast will be fine most mornings, maybe I'll make a PS for breakfast while at the Polynesian so we can get the Tonga Toast at the Kona Cafe

 

[BCV23]

Oh, do Kona for sure!!!! We can't do the concierge lounge breakfast every day either. Too many other great choices.

I do know that there is more than cheese danish at the Polynesian too. I'm thinking at least apple might be another choice? At any rate some kind of fruit danish is what I've chosen for our daughter as she is not into cheese danish either.

The fruit salad at the Polynesian also includes watermelon.
