food IS a theme park
Think you’ve got your Disney World trip all planned out? Here’s something you NEED to factor into your plans!
EPCOT
Okay, so you’ve booked your hotel, made your Disney Park Pass reservations, and made a list of your must-eat snacks. But there’s something sneaky that can totally throw off your Disney World plans that you might not even be thinking about!
Over the past few weeks, Disney World has introduced Mobile Order To Go, a new way to enjoy some of your favorite table service restaurants! That’s right, you can now order table service food TO GO!
Bread Service to go!
This service, accessible on My Disney Experience, is still in its initial roll out phase, and at first it was only available at Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. But recently we’ve seen few more restaurants be added, like Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, as well as The Wave…of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Kona Cafe at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Village Resort
has always been a guest favorite spot to grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner. But with a big menu change, is it still as crave-worthy?
Located in the Great Ceremonial House that serves as the centerpiece of the resort, the restaurant is airy and open…but still relatively boring when it comes to decor and theme. But since the Polynesian is on the Monorail, Kona Cafe is relatively easy to access even if you’re not staying at the resort. And, of course, the food has been fairly consistent over the years: good with moments of greatness.
Now the recent menu change has guests wondering whether Kona Cafe should stay on their must-get Advance Dining Reservation list or whether they should head elsewhere. We reviewed lunch shortly after the menu change, and overall, we were impressed by the offerings! In particular, we thought the sushi was a terrific value, and we enjoyed the Hawaiian-Style Reuben sandwich. Even dessert had some pleasant surprises with Key Lime and Tiramisu cups bringing good flavor.

But I wanted to get back to dine from the Dinner Offerings portion of the menu, which is where you’ll find Steak and Seafood that isn’t available for lunch. [Read more…]
The new year has begun, and what better way to start the year than with lunch at one of our favorite Walt Disney World table service restaurants: Liberty Tree Tavern! You know this colonial-esque spot as the premier place to get a turkey dinner in Magic Kingdom, but the lunch menu also offers a la carte options, so I got into that for ya, too!
Liberty Tree Tavern
Liberty Tree Tavern takes its colonial roots seriously, and diners can see that in the decor. Each room is packed to the gills with details from the time period, and if you look closely, you’ll see that rooms are themed to colonial figures. George Washington gets a place of prominence over the mantle in his room.
