Kona Cafe: More Than Just Tonga Toast

Posted on by Andrew Rossi
When it comes to breakfast at Disney World, the Kona Cafe at the Polynesian Resort is one of my personal favorites. With mouthwatering offering such as their Macadamia-Pineapple Pancakes and Tonga Toast, it is no surprise that Kona Cafe is an incredibly popular dining location and is typically packed each and every morning. For all the hype it receives for breakfast, however, I had heard far less about what the dining experience is like at Kona Cafe for lunch or dinner. Since most visitors to Disney World are typically out and about in the parks during the middle of the day, many of the restaurants at the resorts tend to be overlooked. Therefore, I was very intrigued to see if lunch at Kona Cafe lived up to the outstanding meals I have had there for breakfast.
