    We love the Polynesian and eat at Kona at least once when we stay there. Their breakfasts are very good. I know they just rolled out a new breakfast menu. I hope they will still let you order The Big Kahua, even though it's no longer on the menu. Looking forward to your live show for the Iger / Chapek change. I am sure Pete is very disappointed as he was such a big Chapek fan.

    Also I do wish that they would have more food varieties like they have at aulani of course I have not been but I've watched many videos. I feel like the Polynesian food is very hit or miss and whenever anybody talks about aulani they cannot stop raving about the food the grab and go items etc.

    I have been to Kona and had an enjoyable meal. That said, I feel like I have seen a consistent decline in all of WDW restaurants in these reviews. More and more it seems like reviewers are grasping for the positives compared to the prices that are paid.
