Resort Refurbishment

Oftentimes when we hear refurbishment we think of this affecting our favorite attractions in the Disney Parks. However, resort refurbishments also happen! Those rooms have to stay in tip-top shape for the many Guests who stay at Disney World resort hotels every year. From room updates to pool closures, there’s usually some type of refurbishment happening.

The positive news is that many Resort Guests are only mildly inconvenienced by these resort refurbishments.  Construction work will end at dusk and until 9:00 am the following day. We recently shared about a lengthy refurbishment at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas and a Deluxe Resort pool refurbishment as well.

Kona Cafe is one of many restaurants at the Polynesian Resort and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Kona Cafe is worth a trip to the Polynesian Resort simply for breakfast alone. The Tonga Toast is absolutely amazing. Be sure to check out the full review of Kona Cafe HERE.

Unfortunately, Kona Cafe closed for a refurbishment starting on August 15, 2022. Guests staying at the Polynesian Resort can still enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner options at Kona Island

The great news is that we now have a reopening date for Kona Cafe. The Walt Disney World calendar shows that Kona Cafe will reopen on November 1, 2022.

Unfortunately, reservations are not yet available. We hope that guests will soon be able to make reservations for this favorite dining location. We are just happy that we can enjoy Tonga Toast again very soon.

The Walt Disney World calendar shows that Kona Cafe will reopen on November 1, 2022.
