Is your plan to be in the MK before and after? If so, I think Kona is more of a hassle than it's worth.
That's a great question and the answer is maybe. It's going to be near the end of our trip so while I think so it will depend on if we missed a bunch of things in the other parks.

The food is so much better at Kona though, time to take a breather.

I like the short boat ride from MK to Poly and as said above, it's a nice breather from the park for a bit

Everyone is different, but I love jumping out of the parks for a meal...and while the monorail is an option, it adds to the experience to take the boat from MK to the Poly. Beyond that, I think Kona has a more appealing menu and a better bang for the buck.

I agree with @HouCuseChickie. A quiet lunch outside the park is my ideal afternoon break. I'd definitely choose Kona Café over the Plaza, although I'd probably pick the Grand Floridian Café or the lounge at the Wave over Kona.
We'll hit GF Cafe another day and no lounge with the kids. They have no say about this meal LOL

I've only had breakfast at the Kona, but I've had many lunches at the Plaza. If you're going to stay inside the park, the Plaza is a fine choice (I always get the reuben sandwich). But if you want to get out of the park for a bit, the Kona is probably the better choice of the two.

I love an excuse to take the monorail somewhere and I like to eat non-American-style food on vacation, so I'd vote for Kona -- plus, it gives you a chance to meander around the Polynesian. If, however, you'd rather not "waste time" with the commute, the Plaza's food is quite good (of the sandwich and salad variety) and more reasonably-priced than most lunch venues for what you get.

Personally I like stepping away from the crowds for a bit getting a bite to eat and recharging/regrouping away from all the hustle and bustle so I would go with Kona Café. Plus they have awesome food as well as my favorite sushi! Oh and Kona serves alcohol - so relaxing with a cocktail before returning to the park gives it my full support.

I've enjoyed the meals we have had at both, but Kona is a big family favorite here. I'd have to vote for that, unless it's a time constraint, then the Plaza would be a good choice as well. If you have the time, head over to Kona for a park break.

I would also say Kona, they have a tofu noodle dish for you, now Plaza has a very good veggie sandwich and milkshakes. The deciding factor would be do you want a lapu lapu.
