Says everyone at every Disney restaurant.

larryzNov 08, 2022

Well, I'm glad to see the menu showing some variety from breakfast through lunch to dinner. The prices would make me think twice about eating there, though.

Don't challenge them... they probably will...

Can you make a mickey waffle any smaller?

Figments FriendNov 06, 2022

The refreshed Kona Cafe looks very nice. Really like that painted design decor on the ceiling and the new entrance area. My only quibble would be that it would have been preferred that they kept the wall sculptures. However, I can understand their removal as some were damaged or showed obvious wear and tear from kids 'exploring' the woodwork with their table knives. Interested to hear some reviews of the current menu items. Still the same, or have items been shrunken in size / had ingredients changed? -

YES!!!

Chef Mickey's has always felt like it was in the middle of an airport concourse to me.

JustInTimeNov 03, 2022

This is a fantastic upgrade.

UNCgolfNov 03, 2022

Yeah, when we went over to the Contemporary last time we were there the middle concourse gift shop was completely empty except my GF and I. She did find a piece of merchandise she wanted there, though, that was sold out at World of Disney and everywhere else she looked.

Especially because both shops always seem half empty

phillip9698Nov 02, 2022

I always thought that gift shop was awkward and made what is supposed to be a deluxe property seem cheap. That has no place in a $700 per night hotel.

The lobby and restaurant was done in 2006

disneyC97Nov 02, 2022

And update Chef Mickey’s which matches the 90s overhaul they just removed from the lobby and lobby restaurant.

James AlucobondNov 02, 2022

Just that, some floating furniture, and new flooring would help immensely.
