Breakfast of Champions
It was the best of times, It was the worst of times, It was the last day in Disney But bound and determined to make it the best day we could, we opted to kick it off with our favorite breakfast on property: Kona Cafe.
Kona was crazy as usual this day, but we had something occur that has never happened before. Our server (wait for it, wait for it) was pleasant. I wouldn't say nice per say, but she was actually efficient and didn't make us feel like we were impeding on her day like the usual hash slingers we've encountered here. So kudos to Maria, the mythical pleasant Kona server.
Now onto food!!!!! We of course started with a pot of their amazing Kona coffee.
But given our evening before, I elected to skip the bloody marry this time around
Without my usual spicy start to the day, I decided to really go out on a limb and skip my usual savory breakfast and finally try for the first time the Tonga Toast.
For those who have been living under a DISBoard dining rock, Tonga Toast is Banana-stuffed Sourdough French Toast rolled in Cinnamon Sugar and served with a Strawberry Compote.
Before I get vilified for my thoughts on it, I will say for someone who doesn't like sweets in the morning this was pretty good but not the OMG moment I was expected. The edges of mine were way overcooked (like had trouble chewing it overcooked). The inside was where all the wonderful banana gooeyiness was, but I was a bit disappointed that it the banana was just a thin layer in the middle. I think I'd prefer much more stuffing.
This wasn't bad by any means, but I'll definitely stick with the Samoan from here on out.
Jason had a big revelation on this trip and realized that while he always gets the Big Kahuna combo, its really the pancakes he love the most, so he just went that route.
These are the Macadamia Pineapple Pancakes with with Macadamia Nut Butter, Pineapple Sauce, and what appears to be some really dark sausage. He loved this as usual and even commented if it would be acceptable to just roll his body in the sweet and nutty butter
Casey got the kids french toast, which must have been good cause she cleaned her plate.
All in all, Kona remains our favorite breakfast on property. While I missed my bloody mary, the first decent service we've ever had there made up for it With our tables in wonderland card we saved $8.20
Up next, a few last snacks in the wild.....
