Disney4me Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Okay, so YES, we are checking out something called the “Big Kahuna” at the Polynesian Village Resort. Learn About:Captain Cook’s Polynesian ResortDisney World Restaurants But — before we get your hopes up — we’re talking today about the Big Kahuna SANDWICH at Captain Cook’s. Sadly, the Big Kahuna Breakfast has not returned to the menu at Kona Cafe. Still, taken on its own, the Big Kahuna Sandwich deserves a look in its own right. I mean, anything called the Big Kahuna Sandwich should be able to measure up to its name, right? That’s what we’re here to find out! The Big Kahuna Sandwich consists of turkey, ham, salami, roast beef, Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato with a red pepper spread, all tucked into focaccia bread. The $11.29 entree comes with a pile of French Fries. Big Kahuna Sandwich and Fries Looking at it from the top, it does indeed take up a lot of the box. (These takeaway styles have been in use for some time now at Captain Cook’s, replacing the standard Disney Parks plates for many dishes, and they are obviously terrific for transporting your meal.)

True, much of the size is due to the thick focaccia, but there really is a LOT of meat packed in there, offering all the flavor variety of the four different cuts going along with the Swiss cheese. Big Kahuna Sandwich There is so much meat, in fact, that the red pepper spread gets a little lost, lending moisture to the sandwich more than additional flavor. What stands out more is the fresh quality of the sandwich, making the Big Kahuna a dish that offers indulgence with regards to size but without any grease at all. My top pick for lunch or dinner at Captain Cook’s remains the Thai Coconut Meatballs (formerly called Coconut Curry Meatballs).
