We got there pretty early (about 9:30/10am) which I would recommend because the pool chairs fill quickly. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. They provide towels and the pool chairs were comfy. And the food came out nice and fresh and tasted awesome. They have QR code ordering and bring it right to your pool chair!

Coming here from staying at regular Disney World resorts, I wasn't expecting too too much from the…read morepool bar but let me say, we were really happy! The good? Pretty much everything! I tried two different mocktails and they were both yummy but I preferred the Watermelon Smash, it was great and I got that one twice. We tried a fair amount of food from here while we stayed at The Dolphin. The Lobster roll? Incredible! I'm not kidding when I say I almost went back and bought another one right after I hate the first one because I was so happy with it. My husband loved his Cabana cheeseburger with bacon and tomato jam and he also loved their basic burger that you could order to the pool chairs, that was also a winner. I had the sushi bowl they had with salmon and tuna and all kinds of deliciousness in it....i was so happy with that! I got it twice and I just absolutely loved it. Our son loved their freshly battered chicken crisps. We tried his leftovers and dang they were delicious! They knocked those frozen ones at the Disney resorts out of the park. Also, they had these amazing waffle cut fries! With ranch? Yum! So good! We also tried for Grilled Chicken BLT with chipotle aioli and dang that was so good and so spicy! Loved it! The bad? The only thing I didn't love was it was just basic cups of Ken's ranch, I would have loved if it was house made considering everything else is so delicious. Also, the wings weren't the best. The buffalo flavor was great but the cook on them was a big soggy. The fried parts were great but overall they were mostly soggy and undercooked...just not fried enough. Would we come back? Yes yes and yes. We can't wait to come back here and try more of their food.

It's one of Disney's newer additions, and worth the detour. Grabbed a Cold Brew Coffee to start the morning. My only gripe was they were pretty heavy-handed with the ice, which left me with more diluted coffee than I bargained for so I'd you're an iced coffee purist, don't be shy about asking for light ice. That said, the experience was quick, easy, and painless if you're looking to get your caffeine fix before a full day in the parks. The space itself has a really nice ambience that fits the Polynesian's theming well. Being a newer concept, it feels fresh and polished without the wear you see at some of the older resort quick-service spots. Would I come back? Probably, especially for convenience if I'm already over at the Poly. Just going to ask for easy ice next time!

I stumbled upon the grotto of the ancient chieftain Mumbato after navigating a treacherous jungle…read morefilled with quicksand, cannibals, snakes, and man-eating tigers. At the entrance to his cave, I had to disarm several traps, including floor spikes, poison darts, and a tablet demanding a 25% tip--with no obvious option to leave no tip. Fortunately, I discovered the hidden button in the bottom-right corner, written in 8-point Times New Roman. At last, I reached the altar containing the legendary treasure chest. When I opened it, I found a shirt that read, "I'd Rather Be at Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar," along with flyers for the Halloween and Christmas events. That discovery led me to this wonderfully themed bar. This is a double review covering both the Halloween and Christmas events. These events used to be relatively easy to attend, but thanks to social media influencers, they have become extremely popular. The lines can get enormous, especially from Friday through Sunday. My advice is to visit Tuesday through Thursday and arrive early. The food was great, and the presentation--especially for the Halloween offerings--was fantastic and definitely Instagram-worthy. The specialty drinks were delicious and surprisingly strong for a Disney restaurant, although they do come with the expected Disney price tag. I've also visited when the bar wasn't decorated for a holiday, and it was still a great time. The regular food offerings are just as good, and the portions are fairly generous. The standard drinks are also perfectly enjoyable. If the weather isn't too hot, I recommend sitting outside by the lake. You'll have a beautiful view of the boats passing by, and the scenery around sunset is incredible. A fantastic spot for food, drinks, atmosphere, and the occasional archaeological revelation.

I had the house chips which were good as well as some adult chicken tenders and fries. Those chicken tenders were hot, crunch, flavorful... very good.
