REVIEW: Disney's Polynesian Village Resort Has a SECRET New Breakfast (With PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE)

Okay, we’ll admit it, we’re breakfast people. You know the type: we’ll have breakfast for breakfast, of course, but we’ll also eat breakfast for lunch (brunch) and dinner (brinner).

Kona Cafe

We also go to Disney World nearly every day, so we’ve had a chance to have some pretty outstanding breakfasts, including character dining experiences, Boma (it’s in a breakfast class all by itself), fancy breakfasts at places like The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, and more. But we recently learned about what is essentially a secret menu breakfast item at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and we HAD to check it out: Pudge’s Peanut Butter French Toast.

For those not in the know, Pudge is a fish character in Lilo & Stitch and right now, Disney World is celebrating the release of the Lilo & Stitch live-action film. So Pudge just got peanut butter French toast at Kona Cafe. This breakfast will be available through June 30th and for $15, you get French toast served with peanut butter sauce. It also comes served with some nice crispy bacon. Here’s the kicker, though: it’s not on the official menu, so you have to know to ask for it.

Pudge’s Peanut Butter French Toast

But that’s it. It’s just regular French toast with peanut butter sauce. It’s not stuffed like Tonga Toast (another specialty at this restaurant). It’s basically some nice, warm pieces of French toast that are fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, coated in cinnamon sugar. Yep, bring your sweet tooth! It’s also served with maple syrup because why not MORE sugar?

Beautiful French toast

Let’s talk about the peanut butter sauce, though. It’s really just a melty, runny peanut butter. But if you love peanut butter, then you’ll probably love it. The maple syrup, though, doesn’t taste real — it tastes like artificial syrup. So that was disappointing.

Granted, this is French Toast done very well, so despite our initial concern that it wasn’t a stuffed French Toast or anything, we enjoyed it. So once our expectations were tempered, we were into it. Plus, you get a LOT, so if you don’t have someone to share with, you might have leftovers.
