The Kona Kone is a waffle cone filled with ice cream, Mickey sprinkles and plated with M&Ms and cotton candy. I really like cotton candy and vanilla ice cream so it's a special Disney treat for me.
Behold the beauty that is the Kona Kone, (served at Kona Café, of course):

Few questions please: (considering staying at the Poly)
1. How is the TPV view? Worth the extra $$?
2. I know the walk is about 10 minutes to the TTC but do you find yourselves just jumping the monorail at the Poly and transferring over? Or the walk isn't that bad?
3. If we book a TPV room, how far is it from the TTC and main building?
4. Are there any rooms in the main building?
Your questions have been answered and I'm sorry if you already know this, but just making sure you know the monorail from Poly only goes clockwise, so if you get on at Poly you stop at GF, MK, CR, and then the TTC (where you can transfer to the Epcot line). The express monorail does go through the Poly the other direction but it does not stop. Generally speaking, it's quicker for you to walk to TTC than take the monorail 3/4 of the way around and transfer. Walking to the TTC for a quick trip to Epcot is one of the most underrated aspects of the resort.
So excited! We have a very early flight out on Sunday morning and should be all checked in at the Poly for the first time by early afternoon!
.....
Here's to hoping our room requests were met, a safe flight and a smooth check-in!
Aloha!
BOOM...under 30! Only 29 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!
(28 and a wake-up, as we like to say)...
Leave next Saturday the 20th. Can't wait! 10 months of planning goes surprisingly fast!

We'll be checking in at the Poly around 7:30am on Sunday! We fly down to Orlando later today and are staying at the MCO Hyatt tonight.
Have a great trip and safe travels!
@johnsonet Those are great photos. We arrive soon and I can't wait. Your photos made us feel like we are there already.

Yes every night, weather permitting at 9 PM at the Poly....Is the EWP the same time every night in September? I want dinner at Kona followed by room for pajamas followed by EWP at the beach...how can I plan this for the best time!? SO excited!
We had park hoppers the time we stayed at Poly and used it very little. Not enough to justify the extra cost, so we did single park tickets our next few trips. However, for our upcoming trip (and return to Poly) I bought tickets through ParkSavers and got a 7-day Park Hopper for actually a little less than I would have paid for the 7-day single park ticket elsewhere. So, if you can get a deal like that, I say go for it.Whew! Made it through the whole thread! And am extra excited about our Feb trip now . I am 180 days out tomorrow so today I'm trying to make park plans so I can make our ADRs. I have noticed that transportation can sometimes be an issue - which is making me debate whether I should plan on park hoppers or not. We'll be there in Feb, so the hours will be more limited in any case. Do y'all find that you tend to take advantage of park hopping more with the TTC right there?
Thanks! I'll look at that site. Now if I can just stop reading dining reviews so I can get up before 5 to make my ADRs. . .We had park hoppers the time we stayed at Poly and used it very little.
