In the video below you can learn how to make Tonga Toast like the dish that’s served at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Resort. Here’s what was posted along with the video:
“We can’t imagine there’s any Disney fan who hasn’t tasted the indulgent Tonga Toast, on the menu at Disney’s Polynesian Resort since 1971. In case you haven’t tried the deep-fried concoction, check out this ‘Taste of Disney’ video — part of the series for Disney.com — to see how to make this delicious breakfast treat at home.”

Disney has just gotten rid of the rule banning its park employees from having beards. However, the Walt Disney Company has a new rule that facial hair can not exceed a quater of an inch.
This is the first time the beard rule for park employees has been relaxed since Disneyland opened in California in 1955. Thoughts?
Disney has just revealed some new details about the Landscape Of Flavors Food Court at Disney’s Art Of Animation Resort. The food court will open when the resort opens in May 2012.
Here’s what Chef Ed Wronski, Director of Food and Beverage Concept Development for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, had to say about the Landscape Of Flavors Food Court:
The idea is that you customize your choice. From burgers to pasta, salads, ethnic flavors, omelets, even parfaits and gelatos, everything is made fresh as you order.
Here are some menu highlights thanks to the Disney Parks Blog:
“The Soup-Salad-Sandwich Shop lets you create your own salad (with beef or chicken) and offers a caprese sandwich with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes on focaccia, or a Buffalo-style turkey sandwich with arugula and a blue cheese-Buffalo sauce-mayo spread. Both are served with delish house-made potato chips.
The World Flavors Shop adds Indian-African flair to breakfast, too, with scrambled eggs, tandoor potatoes, Portuguese sausage, slab bacon and a mini-naan; or a veggie flatbread sandwich on naan with cauliflower, spinach and paneer. Lunch and dinner is a choice of tandoori chicken or shrimp, Mongolian beef with vegetables, mahi mahi, Portuguese sausage or roasted acorn squash served with sides and naan bread.
The Pizza Shop features make-your-own pasta, cheese and pepperoni pizzas and meatballs on ciabatta bread. Room delivery is an option, too.
The Burger Shop includes a breakfast burger with chicken breakfast sausage, cheese and scrambled eggs on a multi-grain bun, and a steak-and-eggs breakfast burger with a burger topped with fried eggs, cheese and bacon. Besides the traditional burgers, lunch and dinner includes a surf and turf burger with crab cake and fried popcorn shrimp, and a pastrami cheeseburger topped with pepper jack cheese and a slice of fried green tomato.
The ‘grab ‘n go’ Market Shop offers drinks, yogurt, bagels, pastries, gourmet cupcakes, cookies and gelato.”
Exciting! We can’t wait for the new resort and food court to open at Walt Disney World!
