Do I dare mention I have no idea what Tonga Toast is

I'd never heard of it either and everytime someone mentioned "Tonga Toast" I kept hearing little voices saying, "Tubbie Toast! Tubbie Toast!" and visions of weird little colorful beings dancing around holding their plates which contained a smiley toast. Thank you for clarifying, Todd. Your picture was extremely helpful!

I know I suggested it and I will be happy to still organize it if there is still interest. However, with the addition to the dining plan to our room package and the announcement of a time for the live taping, I am not sure that I will be attending my suggested brunch.

That's ok, I'm beginning to like Nikki's suggestion now

Sorry Jennifer, I called you Kathy in my last post. My Bad. Great picture.

Kim

I forgive you

Anyone come across any good car rental rates yet?

I haven't looked since I'm not planning on getting a car, but we looked at them for our last trip, and ended up getting the best rates about 3 weeks out, renting at the Alamo on property. The had a shuttle that picked me up at the campground, and willing to drop us anywhere on property when we took it back.

Tonga toast is a big hunk of bread that they stuff bananas in the middle, then deep fry and roll in sugar. It is very large and most people aren't able to finish it. My dd and I couldn't finish one, they are very SWEET!

Hi! I don't normally post over here but DH and I will be attending the TSM party and hopefully the seminar too, so figured I had better start. We are really excited and can't wait to meet some more Disers.

YUM!!! It's soo huge that when they put it down in front of you, you do this but a little of this . Then after you're first bite, it's like . If you manage the finish the whole thing, though, you might end up looking a bit like this .

And don't forget the awesome kona .

Impressive use of smilies!

Also, don't forget to schedule a visit to your dentist as soon as you get home - you'll probably have cavities.

I have no problem organizing a breakfast. I was thinking we could do it Sunday morning and then possibly visit MK afterwards to see the decorations. I also want to leave early to get on line fir the podcast taping. I want a good seat. TSM the night before is the catalyst though as it ends at midnight. Would 8 or 9 be too early for Tonga action?

I'm kinda hoping to find a good car rental rate that I can afford for DAP! My only hang up is driving by myself at night to WDW. I am okay to drive alone during daylight hours, but night driving kinda freaks me out...but it's kind of a moot (!) point if I don't find a job and a good car rental rate...

Yikes, my utter!!

They have cream for that you know.

Anna does take some wonderful photos. (And she makes a great paparazzi.)

Hmm maybe I have a new line of work.

I would say not. After all, we are all good Disney commandos.

Same here...also looking for a long week in January. Not much better luck...

I've never had Tonga toast. I would like to try it though.

It was pretty good, but too sweet for me.

That was my concern last year - I hate driving at night! It really wasn't so bad, though, just don't forget toll money. I think I may have just gone through a couple without paying (they weren't manned and there were no gates). I was so concerned I wasn't going to make it to Epcot to meet you in time before it closed to the general public, though, I was too pre-occupied to worry about it being nighttime and driving somewhere I had never been before.

Hi Kim! I was staying at the GF and got up at 6:15AM and took the pictures. I knew not that many people would be up and around at that hour. It was so nice having the lobby all to myself practically.

It great that you thought to go that early in the morning to take the pictures.
I do believe that the last picture of the castle, there is the back of someone's head on the right of your picture.
I think that was my head!

 

[katscradle]

While Tonga Toast is amazing, I actually prefer the pineapple pancakes with macadamia butter. MMMMM.

Wonder how that would taste with my maple sryup on top of it.

It would probably put you into a coma!!!
