The things we do for our children. The only reason I want to do contempo cafe is for my ds(2). He loves monorails and if we don't do the dining plan then I figure the cafe would be a cheap way for us to eat and for him to see them.We left MK once to go to Contempo Cafe. The food was very good for QS, the desserts are pretty too. It's quite loud with Chef Mickey's right next door, but it's fun. I wouldn't go out of my way to get there, but if it works with your schedule, and you've never been to CR before, do it. I did find the Mary Blair mural and monorails wizzing by overhead quite nice.
On our next trip, DS *really* wants to try Tonga Toast, so we will head to Captain Cook's for the first time. I find this a PITA because we have to get there during breakfast hours. This will be the first time we have Hoppers, so I was thinking of RDing MK, going to Captain Cook's, then taking the monorail over to Epcot afterwards (something we've never done). Basically, I will build our day around that Tonga Toast *sigh*

Thank you for warning me! One day I would love to stay at the Poly.Captain Cooks has good food, but the outdoor seating is a view of the pool and great kids splash area...(which would be torture for a young child that isn’t staying at the Poly)
Thanks my son will love this! I had no idea you could see the mural and monorail. I think this will work great for our midday break. I think we may need to order a cupcake.If your DS2 is into the monorail, I think you'd all really like it - especially if you take a loop trip on the monorail.
Here's a great video of the restaurant - you can see how close it is to Chef Mickey's, the mural and the monorail.
If you are going during the holiday season you can then take the monorail around to see the decorations at each resort.Thanks my son will love this! I had no idea you could see the mural and monorail. I think this will work great for our midday break. I think we may need to order a cupcake.
