Ok, we arrived at PH around 10:45 and we were exhausted from traveling and my little angel baby couldn't quite make it through dinner.......he just fell asleep sitting there

OK AND ON WITH THE FOOD!!!! LET'S START OFF WITH THE APPETIZERS....

I GOT THE WORLD FAMOUS CHICKEN CRUNCH This was pretty good, I remember it being a little more tasty, but we were tired and starving so it was good....I also got my favorite smoothie in the whole world there.....PRETTY IN PINK SOOOO YUMMY

MY DH GOT THE POTATO SKINS He absolutely LOVED THEM!!!

OK, FOR DINNER I GOT THE TURKEY CLUB SANDWICH Again, this was just ok, good, but nothing special......

MY DH GOT THE NY STRIP STEAK WITH BAKED POTATOES AND VEGGIES Again, he loved this and said it was fantastic

We were both very tired and passed on dessert.....it was very busy and service was a little slow and we were dreaming of going to bed and getting some sleep......

OK, LET ME START OFF WITH OUR FIRST DAY ADVENTURE, WE WERE HEADED OUT AROUND 7:30 A.M. TO GO TO HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS FOR OUR CHARACTER BREAKFAST AT HOLLYWOOD AND VINE, WELL MY SWEET BABY TRIPPED GETTING ON THE BUS AND HIT HIS HEAD ON THE DRIVERS STEP AND BUSTED HIS HEAD OPEN SO WE ENDED UP IN AN AMBULANCE HEADED TO CELEBRATION HOSPITAL, WHERE HE ENDED UP WITH 11 STITCHES...

He was so good, he didn't cry and even told the paramedics that he didn't have time to go to the hospital because he needed to get to Toy Story Mania

He was bouncing around in no time, you never would have known he got hurt....so we were onto HS for lunch at Sci-Fi Dine In....

APPETIZERS.....I GOT THE SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP AND MY DH GOT THE CHILI Both of these were very very good!!!! LOVE THE SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP....YUMMY!!!!

LUNCH....I GOT THE CHEESEBURGER WITH ONION AND MUSHROOMS MY DS GOT THE HOT DOG AND MY DS GOT THE RIBS Burger was FANTASTIC and the fries were also very good, My DH said the ribs are some of the best he has ever had, we go here every year so he can get them, they are soaked in Coca-Cola and of course my DS loved the hot dog...

DESSERT....I GOT THE APPLE CRISP TART AND OMG..... THIS WAS INCREDIBLE...IT WAS WARM AND CRISPY AND WITH THE ICE CREAM.....YUMMY

MY DH GOT CHEESECAKE...AND OF COURSE HE LOVED IT....
