I wanted to try it until I found out that it had mustard on it. I hate mustard, and have never had a Monte Cristo with mustard. All the ones I have had were just the meat and cheese on bread, batter dipped and deep fried with the berry compote on the side.
hmm, I feel like every time I have had it there was some spread on it - usually like an aoili or something, so did some googling.
The first recipe I found stated: "Spread bread with mayonnaise and mustard"
Also, looks like there is no real agreed upon way of doing a Monte Cristo and it varies a lot by region. The way they do it at
Disneyland seems to be consistent with how they do it in the south, which make sense given it is in New Orleans Square. So one could argue Toy Story Land was just going for a different, but acceptable, version. I don't believe there is an official location given for where Toy Story is located though there is some snow seen so safe to assume not the south. The internet seems to think either Michigan or Ohio - so would make sense why Andy would think it wouldn't be the Southern version of the sandwich
From Wikipedia:
"In most regions, the sandwich is savory rather than sweet. Traditionally, it is dipped in its entirety in egg
batter and
pan fried, though it may also be deep fried.
[4] Regional variations
[1][5] may include sliced turkey. In some areas of the US it is served grilled; in others, it is an
open sandwich with only the bread battered and the assembled sandwich heated slightly under a grill or broiler.
[1] In the
southern US, some restaurants serve a variation that is batter-dipped and deep-fried.[

preserves.
