Magical Recipes Factoid - Did you know that Tonga Toast has been on the Kona Cafe menu since 1971? It has been said that Tonga Toast is the most requested recipe from Disney, so it's no wonder that it has been served at Disney's Polynesian Resort for decades since it opened. There is also an Urban Legend being passed down by Disney's cast members and Tonga Toast fans alike that Elvis was a huge fan of the toast. He supposedly sent his personal chef to Disney World to learn how to make it.
