We are all missing the parks right about now. Some of us are wishing we could bring a little Disney Magic home with us! We have decided to make a “Disney Food at Home” series of Disney Parks recipes for you to try for yourself at home! 

In the first series, we are going to give you our recipe to make homemade Tonga Toast from Kona Kafe at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. Try it for yourself and then let us know how it worked out for you! Post your photos of your family on Instagram with #themeparkprofessor and we could feature your Tonga Toast!
