On Saturday, Anakin and I had the honor of meeting both parties of Katmark. We met Kathy, Mark and another DISer. (For some reason threeboysmom comes to mind but I know that's not right, because she is a DIS zeta girl who I met years ago.) But I do remember there is a 3 and boys in her DIS name, I know her real name, but don't know if she uses it on the DIS, so for now I'll refer to her as the other DISer.
We planned to meet at EoS at 3:30. When I arrived, there was a large group of people standing around talking. I scanned that group to see if I could spot Kathy or Mark. No luck, so I texted that we had arrived. Kathy and Mark spotted us and warmly greeted us! They handed Anakin a bag, and inside was an Animal Kingdom Lodge pin!! He loves it!!!

There were no seats available inside, but lots of seats available outside. Mark saved two tables for us outside.
In the car heading there, Anakin said he didn't want the pizza sandwich because there wasn't enough cheese last time. I told him he could get a kid's turkey sandwich or peanut butter and jelly. He didn't remember what peanut butter tasted like since he can't eat it at home anymore. (Grumpy is allergic and gets sick on the smell.) He decided he wanted to try peanut butter and jelly. I told him they make it hot in the oven so it will be melted. He was very excited to try it!! He couldn't wait to order it.
Everyone else's buzzers went off before mine. So I went in to see about ours. On the way inside, I noticed that my receipt said 33 but my buzzer said 3. That was why my buzzer never went off, lol! Our food was there sitting on the counter all bagged up. I forgot to ask for crackers for the soup, and this took a while to get someone's attention. Anakin was at the table with them, and I kept peeping outside to make sure he was sitting there. Got my crackers and headed out.
I open my soup bowl and hear an exclaimed, "WOW!!!" I look at Anakin who's face looks like sheer enjoyment. "THIS is good!!" Apparently, he loved PB&J, lol! He rarely eats/drinks sugar, so I wasn't sure how he would react to it. Chocolate makes him totally hyper, wasn't sure what jelly would do.
Not sure if it was the jelly or Mark egging him on, but Anakin got really silly. I mean really silly. His giggly laugh is hard to explain. But he was just so giggly.
When it was picture time, Kathy was able to catch a serious pose, but til I grabbed my camera, both Mark and Anakin were silly.
The ladies were a little more refined, and Anakin better behaved.
He wanted to go pin trading after we ate, but for some reason he took off running and I had to catch him and bring him back to us. I didn't want to chase him through stores, so in his stroller he went, and we headed to the car. He even forgot about pin trading.
