Located inside of the Polynesian resort this quick serve restaurant is easy to grab a snack or full meal. To find this spot you'll walk down the left hallway if you're coming from the check-in area. You'll pass a bathroom area and then see it straight ahead. They have a display menu board overhead that you can glance through as you wait in what is usually a pretty short line. They do have some cold case options like fruits, pastries, drinks, and salads. If you're on the lookout for a fun Disney dessert, they have cute cupcake offerings in this case as well. The staff is very good about moving the line quickly and offer the Disney service one comes to expect from the mouse. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, but as it's regularly hot in FL, you'll most likely want an inside option. The seating area is small, and it can sometimes take a minute to get a seat. Overall: A-Solid quick serve option for guests staying at the resort or just passing through it.

This is a great quick-service option in the Polynesian Village Resort. You can pick up pre-packaged items (drinks, pop tarts, etc.) and you can also order fresh prepared items off their menu. I recommend the nachos. It's a great shareable option when you want something to split between people that's more than just a sandwich. The pork on the nachos was delicious and the pineapple tidbits were tasty. We also got the kids turkey sandwich. Be ware - it does not automatically come with cheese and does come with shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato slices. The side was French fries and they were good. We sat at their inside seating, and the decor inside was fitting with the rest of the resort. The bathroom are along the hallway before you entered the restaurant area. The tables and chairs within the restaurant can be moved around to accommodate larger groups or small groups. I would return here for the nachos in a heartbeat. This place has lots of options and I look forward to exploring more of them in the future.

This is a nice, decent size place. It had indoor and outdoor seating. Service wasn't always consistent. Some of the staff were nicer and more helpful than others. This place can be pretty busy depending on the time of day. We ordered:1. Bacon cheeseburger - thick and juicy2. Pulled pork nachos - loved the wonton chips with the pulled pork. Mango salsa paired well that it was a crunchy, sweet, and salty bite. Perfectly balanced3. Thai coconut meatballs - Tender and flavorful. I just wished it had a little more rice.4. Aloha pork sandwich- I loved the crunch and sweetness you get from the coleslaw and flavor from the pulled pork5. Poly chips - This is a tasty snack. I wish it came with a dip or something but good to eat on its own as well. 6. Pineapple cupcake - hands down my favorite7. Moana cupcake- tasty and moist. Coconut didn't care for too much8. Guava danish and guava scone - Such a treat, I wish I had this sooner than the morning we were leaving. This gets sold out pretty fast. I love the taste of the guava jam and the pastries taste so soft and fresh. The scone was not hard and dry like most coffee shops. It was light and moist.

My friends and I had dinner at Captain Cook's last night, just before the fireworks. I ordered the Thai Coconut Meatballs and a drink, which came highly recommended, and they didn't disappoint. For $17 after tax, I enjoyed perfectly cooked meatballs in a delicious coconut-infused gravy over rice. The flavors blended really well!My friends ordered the Nachos, which were also amazing. If you're looking for a more filling option or something to share, I'd definitely suggest the Nachos. The unique flavor of the chips paired perfectly with the toppings.The restaurant itself is pretty simple, but the outdoor atmosphere really adds to the experience. We were lucky to catch a movie on the lawn and enjoyed a Disney film while we ate. Plus, you get a great view of the fireworks from there. Overall, it was a great evening, and I'll definitely be back!

Super flow. Did a mobile order and it took the better part of 30 minutes at high traffic times. Seating is very limited especially at busy times. Kids food was average. Adult food was pretty solid. Overall you won't be blown away nor disappointed. It's about what you would expect. Staff most definitely works hard. Limited quick service options if you are staying at the hotel.

Stopped into captain cooks after another Disney-goer informed us of the limitless refill beverage cup! Apparently this is NOT a widely advertised option for vacationers. One is able to purchase a refillable handled cup in any of the restaurants and once it is activated, you can refill it as many times as you want. They cannot be used inside the parks but the hotels and restaurants on hotel properties are limitless refills. Jayne C was quite helpful by letting us know those details before we purchased the mugs. Activation was nearly immediate and the process worked like a charm.

Winner, winner, the place for dinner!!Our family loves Captain Cooks because of the variety. So much to choose from here in terms of food choices. Asian noodles, chicken skewers, rice, pineapple, flatbread, pastries, meatballs and so much more!!!Prices are Disney reasonable. Plenty of seating inside or tables outside if you want to catch the fireworks or outdoor activities.Deserts and breakfast options are yummy too!

I'm not a Disney pro and I wasn't visiting on a Disney vacation, but I was pretty disappointed with this experience. I was in Orlando doing other things and heard the Polynesian Resort was great so I thought I would stop by for dinner. After being unable to get in anywhere else I went to Capt. Cook's for dinner. The service was pretty average, and the employees seemed very overwhelmed. I ordered two entrees and it took almost 30 minutes for them to get delivered to our table. They were both pretty average to poor, and the paper plates really didn't help. My Asian noodles seemed cobbled together and were sitting in a pool of cold water. The items with the burger meal were likely all frozen at one point. The ambiance also wasn't very nice to me. The restaurant was crowded and packed, resulting in a loud meal. The posters with travel destinations were nice, but decor in other areas seemed appropriative at best. I was really disappointed overall. It was my first Disney experience since I was a child.

Captain Cook's is about as good as a resort counter-service restaurant can get! It might honestly be my favorite one on property! And that's saying something, as there are a LOT to choose from.The food here is always good, with a delicious Hawaiian/Island flair. This means you can expect some island-Asian fusion, like the spicy Korean chicken bowl, or the Hawaiian flatbread. I had the bowl on my last visit, and it did not disappoint! The gochujang flavor was very present, and it had a nice heat to it. Probably not nearly spicy enough for some of you, but if you have a lower spice threshold, you might want to pick something else. The pork barbecue sandwich is a winner, particularly! Very filling and very flavorful!My only major complaint is the seating, or lack thereof. They have staff in the dining area to immediately wipe down tables as they open up, which is SUPER helpful! They just don't have a lot of space to sit and enjoy your meal. True, there is patio space, so you have that option if the weather is nice.It's also a bit pricy, but that's to be expected on property. I wouldn't say it's any higher or lower than other comparable quick service locations. I will say, though, we've never walked away from here hungry! So, you do get what you pay for in that regard.Not to mention, it has close proximity to Pineapple Lanai and Trader Sam's, so you have post-meal options for dessert and libations! If you're into that kind of thing, of course. (wink)Overall, this place is on point across the board. The food is always delicious, the cast members are friendly and helpful, and the ambiance and location in the Polynesian Resort are desirable. Definitely a great spot for a fast meal!

Went here for lunch when we visited Disney World. This restaurant is pretty tight. They don't have a lot of seatings. Our table was also almost touching the table next to us but everyone is a Disney person, so no one minded :) we ordered the spicy korean chicken and thai coconut meatballs. Both dishes had a lot of flavor but were too spicy in my opinion. And since it's at Disney, it was pretty pricey as well for such small portions.
