Our waiter at Kona was nothing special. First he was hard to understand and even more so talking through a mask and a plastic face shield; then he was wearing black plastic gloves that were half covered by his long sleeves. I couldn't hear much of what he was saying and felt I had to continuously ask him to repeat himself.
We ordered a couple sushi plates to get us started. They were expensive yet tasty but I got the feeling I was continuously being watched.
Not a fan of the "eyeball" presentation at all.
Didn't seem to bother Sterg who ordered a frozen type of drink.
Val order some kind of tuity-fruity drink...
And I think this was a Kona version of a bourbon Old Fashion. So far, so good.
I can't remember what everyone else ordered. They were happy with their meal. I order the special - Salmon Steak and frankly I was underwhelmed. It tasted like the salmon was put on a metal plate and thrown in the boiler for 10 minutes. No seasoning, sauce or glaze. Kinda expected more for my $40.
Our incoherent waiter in his hazmat suit did surprisingly agree to take our photo. Perhaps it looked in focus behind the plastic shielding and his thick glasses.
Everyone was very satisfied with their meal except me. I had told myself going in that I was going to order the steak - everyone raves about the steak at Kona. Somehow I ended up falling for the "Chef Special" salmon and I was disappointed. I know I talked about this before in one of my other trip reports, but here I go again because it's good advise that I didn't follow that night;
When you go to a steak house - order the steak
When you go to a seafood house - order fish (or lobster)
The point being, go with what the restaurant is know for, what they do best. Kona is known for their steak and I knew that and was prepared to order it but changed my mind at the table and paid the price of regret.
After dinner we decided to explore the Poly before heading back. I of course took some more photos.
This was a sad sight.
Then we ventured outside to the pool area.
Not exactly sure what Toni was doing here.
We then order an Uber and made our way outside for the pickup.
Amazingly, the Uber driver covering Walt Disney World didn't really know how to go from the Poly to the Contemporary - even with GPS. We spent almost a half hour in his car changing directions and doing Uturns. OK then.
I think we could have walked back quicker.
After that adventure we made it back to the room and called it a night. Our favorite park from last trip was up on deck and we were excited to get to Animal Kingdom in the morning.
Overall, this was one of our best days at WDW we ever had. The next day may have actually topped it.
UP NEXT - Animal Kingdom overload and many more photos and videos. 
It looks like Val was having a good time, too!
