4 cup Canola Oil (For Frying)
2 Slices White Bread
1.5 oz Sliced Ham
1.5 oz Sliced Turkey
1 oz Swiss cheese

Jam Ingredients:
6 oz Blackberry Jam
1 TB Cream

Batter Ingredients:
3 ½ Cups Water
1 ½ Tsp Salt
3 ½ Cups Flour
2 TB Corn Starch
1 Egg (each)
3 Drops Yellow Coloring
2 Tsp Baking Powder
2 Tsp Powdered Sugar (For Dusting)

In a large mixing bowl, add water and egg; mix well. Then add all dry batter ingredients and mix thoroughly. It is best to let batter rest for 2 hours before cooking. Stack sandwiches in this order: white bread, cheese, ham, turkey, cheese, and white bread. Press sandwiches together. This will help to keep sandwiches together during frying. In a deep fryer or frying pot, add oil and bring to 350 degrees. When oil comes to heated (350 degrees), dip sandwich in batter and cover completely. Carefully place sandwich in hot oil, and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Drain sandwich and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with blackberry jam.

Many people (myself included) are a little upset about the hotel contraction. Disney will be tearing out the famous waterfalls and Koi ponds in favor of the retro Monorail water slides and pool announced a few weeks ago. The waterfalls were a great place to get away form the crowd and escape to a quite, less explored part of the resort. But, the water slides and pool will surely be a popular addition for hotel guests.
