It's not even 8:30 AM and I am craving Mexican now. YUM - great pics!

the lager was contract-brewed for them...in New Hampshire!
Not that I have anything against New Hampshire (some of my best friends are New Hampshirites....New Hampshirians?...Granite Staters?...whatever...); but had I known, I would have skipped ordering it. I was in a Hawaiian mood. I was wearing kukui nuts.
That being said; it was a light lager. Decent, but not exactly distinctive in the vanilla world of lagers. It was OK.
We love Kona! We haven't had breakfast there yet (we are too lazy to get up early enough to get over there). We have had both lunch and dinner. I think their desserts are some of the best in all of wdw. Glad you enjoyed it. We try to time eating dinner there so that when we are done we can go out to the beach and watch wishes.
That sushi roll looks so good. I am going to have to try their sushi in November.
The next day was Saturday, July 31, a Magic Kingdom day for us. We grabbed a quick breakfast at Captain Cook's (you're noticing the pattern here?). Aladdin and I were thrilled that on this day, there were berry yogurt parfaits! So he and I each had one, and the kids each had a bagel with cream cheese.
Aladdin and I really love those parfaits, and the kids enjoyed the bagels, which they toasted themselves in the available toaster.
I had the tuna Oscar last yr and you described it perfectly, I hated it! That sushi looks amazing think we will have to make a sushi stop at kona island sushi in a few weeks, also can't wait to try sushi at Cali grill! Loving the pics and reviews thank you so much!
Following along with your reviews and looking forward to Poly in less than a month.We have a lunch ADR for Chefs - looking forward to it!
Berry yogurt parfait - sounds great! I hope they have them when we go. Was the yogurt vanilla or another flavor? Did they have them only at breakfast?
Also, did they have any whole grain or multi-grain bagels?
Yum yum YUM! You have me positively aching to get back there!!
Your dinner looks amazing (even with the less-than-stellar tuna). I took one look at that volcano roll and said "That's so pretty"![]()
I think the only dessert I've ever tried @ Kona was the torte - I definitely need to rectify that in a few weeks! The cheesecake looks divine!
And how about those cream puffs!!! We've had them the past two trips since it was honeymoon and anniversary...and we'll be wearing anniversary buttons again this time! Muhahahaha! Bring me cream puffs!
Keep them coming! Can't wait to read about Cali Grill!
iloveeeyore, thank you for your report on Les Chefs, I'm trying to convience DD to go.
Question, how do you arrange to have Reme come to your table? was it an extra cost? its one of our favorite movies and we are going during my DD bday so would be a fun surprise!
Thanks!

Oh no! We booked Kona specifically to try the Tuna Oscar.Do you think requesting extra sauce would make it worth ordering?

Great reports! I am not a huge tuna fan, but I'd always heard RAVES about the Kona tuna dish. I must say, yours doesn't look as good as other photos I've seen (my first thought was, where's the sauce)? Sorry it wasn't so great for you. I love the teriyaki sirloin, but still miss their filet, which was the best ever.
Everything looks just wonderful! I would die for some of that Chef's mac and cheese right about now....(My WW frozen lunch just didn't do it for me. Surprised?!)
Your dinner at Kona looks amazing! I have a breakfast ADR for our upcoming trip. While I really want to try some of the breakfast items, I am concerned about the early hour we will need to leave our resort (which is NOT the Poly!) to get to breakfast.
My family loves breakfast so I will probably keep it. I would much rather use my credits on what you just had! YUM
