Plus... A Little Magic My Favorite Breakfast at Walt Disney World is Kona Cafe's TONGA TOAST at the Polynesian Resort 
Photo and Story by BruceWDW
First, I just love the Polynesian Resort, although it's a little out of my price range. But Mary Ann and I will very often just stop by to enjoy the great foods, walk the beach, enjoy one of the best views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks and enjoy the ambiance. Located on the Monorial route and a short walk from the TTA, this deluxe resort is easy to get to and worth the visit. Plus, I like breakfast so this is my new favorite place for the start of the day so as to eat at the Kona Cafe; not only for a "press pot" of good Kona coffee, but for a great breakfast menu that includes Tonga Toast. Where else can you get this thick grilled sourdough bread stuffed with banana and covered in cinnamon sugar. Then, pour over a strawberry compote for a heavenly experience. Now there are other great choices on the breakfast menu like Macadamia Pinapple Pancakes and the Big Kahuna (which is a meal for a day), but Tonga Toast is the Disney experience I'll remember until my next visit to the "World". HINT: When you have even a small group, order one of every speciality and share!

GUEST POST - The Colorado Mountain Mom
A new feature of ENTER TODAY are links to a story personally selected by a guest Disney fan blogger. Today's feature is from The Colorado Mountain Mom blog on July 27, 2012. Visit Tami and her family at http://coloradomountainmom.com/.
Disney's Magical Express
How would you like Mickey to pick you up at the Orlando airport, on his personal bus, and kick off your Disney World vacation right by giving you a relaxing, vacation-suspense-building ride to your resort?
“Excuse me… where’s the Mickey bus? I’m looking for my Mickey bus, to take me to Disney World. He’s expecting me.”
Aahh, yes – there it is. The air conditioned bus, all decked out with the Disney design on the exterior, the comfy seats, and the TV screens to play a “Welcome Video” for you (arguably the most exciting part) during your short ride to your Disney resort hotel. Don’t bother with your luggage. It’s time to let the Magic begin!
This is a definite highlight of our Disney vacations, and is a fantastic FREE perk of staying at a Disney property. [CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE]

About the Author:
I think watching a True-Life Adventure called The Living Desert started my enthusiastic love of Disney; I must have seen this film every year I was in elementary school. Of course there was the original Mickey Mouse Club which encouraged me to watch Walt Disney Presents (and its successors). Then the 1964-65 World's Fair introduced me to many new and future technologies (Wow, I can actually see people on the telephone!); but mostly it was the awe and imagination that Walt Disney infused into that exposition which started me on my present path. Much of my life's enjoyment has revolved to a great degree around the imagination and creations of Walt Disney, and to enjoy the work of those who he inspired. So where else would Mary Ann and I go on our honeymoon but Walt Disney World two years after it first opened, and the adult love story began (both my marriage and Disney devotions). Skip ahead to today, and I'm writing blogs and posting information for the world to act upon (particularly contests) and use (like the trip planning information in A World View). Two children and four grandchildren later, we still look forward to a Walt Disney World vacation, of course with family, but also just the two us absorbing and enjoying the most magical place on earth.
Again, good luck and have a magical day.
