Yes, it's that good. The DW was so excited to try the Tonga Toast and is still talking about it. It's banana stuffed sourdough bread, rolled in cinnamon sugar and served with Strawberry Compote, and it's HUGE!!! My Macadamia pineapple pancakes were almost as good, and very filling also. The coffee is a really good way to start the day. The atmosphere is really cool since you're still almost in the atrium of the resort. The seating is really cool too. You can hop off the monorail so it's easy to get to. Will definitely go back many times next time.
Pros:
TONGA Toast, Macadamia pancakes, atmosphere, locationCons:

This was our first TS of a 5 day trip with 10 total in our party. We were seated a little earlier then our reservation time. The buffet is a typical buffet. Nothing fancy. I felt the steak was very tasty but other then that I can get the same food at a typical buffet. The characters were great and spent plenty of time at our table.

We love the Kona Cafe, and no trip to WDW is complete without a visit! We use it as a way to take a break from the MK for a little while. We secure an early ADR (5-5:30) and leave a little early to enjoy the atmosphere in the Poly.
We were there on Tuesday, 3/26 for dinner. I requested a table toward the rear of the restaurant because it can get loud in the front. Our server was very nice (sorry, I have forgotten her name) and was always near-by. We ordered quickly and waited for the bread and macadamia nut butter - YUMMY!! Our dinners came out soon thereafter.
I ordered my favorite - Pan Asian Noodles with Chicken - and it didn't disappoint! DH had the Teriyaki Steak - he ordered it Medium, and it came out a bit more done than medium, but he enjoyed it just the same. DD had the Kona Salad, which she enjoyed. We didn't have room for dessert this trip. As always, a great experience!

Party of 10 ate here 3/27/2013 and were seated promptly. When they say all you can eat they mean it. Our cousin was Gary W and he was wonderful. He was very attentative to all of our needs. The food was wonderful although I could have done without the pork. It was a little dry IMO. This was my first time here and will be back again and again.

Party of 10 ate here 3/26/2013. I was somewhat worried with all the negatives about the food. I was VERY pleased with the food. Everything tasted great. An update to the decor is needed though and the only reason I gave a 9.

We have eaten here a few times but not since the menu change. That was a little disappointing. The food was good. We had a non meat eater in our party of 10 and they brought a pasta dish that they say was good. The desserts were ok. Our server was Jeffrey (from Miami) and he played the part very well.They still do the ketchup routine but unless you have kids its not needed. All in all I could skip this in the next few trips.

Party of 10 ate here on 3/28/2013 and it was just an ok experience. Some in our party was very happy with their food while others were disappointed. The wait between dinner and dessert was far to long. The dinner was a two hour process and thats unacceptable IMO. I dont think I would return here.

We have eaten here before a couple of times. This was a last minute decision on our last evening of our trip. We had to wait about 15 min. for a table, but as a walk up I don't think that's too bad. Both Hubby and I had the NY Strip Steak. Both were cooked just as we asked and delicious. Neither of us could fit dessert we were so full. This was a nice end to our stay at Caribbean Beach. We will certainly return here to eat on our next trip. Service was wonderful. Our server was very attentive and friendly.

We went to Port Orleans from 3/22 to 3/28 and had a great time. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The staff was so nice and friendly. The food court people were extremely nice and friendly especially Rod. My daughter needed medicine in the middle of the night and they opened the store for us and got the medicine. At first the desk said they could not help and transferred me to the night doctor. He said ask for the night manager and when I did things went smoothly! We had a lovely time and would stay there again.

This is 2nd time. First bought cd at park at the time it costs $99 that was in 06. For this trip 3/16, pre-purchased the cd for $149 with the photo pass +. Always was able to find photographers available except with some of the meet n greets. Never was told about magic shots even though I knew about them but photographers didn't seem to interested. I did like having all the rides put on the cd sine we rode Splash Mountain 8x and every time, we posed differently which was fun. We also used for 1900 Park Fare Cinderella dinner. After getting cd, was anxious to view and was very pleased after editing and added features had 523 pics. Will definitely get again.
