Very little remains from the previous look of Kona Cafe, with the style shifting to match the refurbishments done to the hotel last year.

The sautéed red quinoa is a new plant based option for dinner at Kona. The sushi menu has also been expanded to include options from before COVID-19 impacted Walt Disney World.

Interior

Let’s take a look inside!

When you first walk into the restaurant, the on-stage kitchen is still intact. This gives guests a live view into the preparation of dishes.

Many of the hanging light fixtures now feature this casing that resembles a wicker basket.

On the far wall, to the right when you enter, there are new colorful, tropical flowers.

Upon closer inspection you can see that these flowers have Polynesian-style designs on the petals. The rock wall is also lit from below.

All of the seating in the restaurant is new. Around these tables the chairs now have a deep green cushion.

You can see how different tables have different colored cushions on the chairs; some even with a beautiful aqua blue color seen below.

The ceiling showcases all-new artwork. The artwork is also Polynesian-inspired. You can see themes of ocean, water, waves, and also lush landscapes.
