The adults were having dinner out in DTD, so the little carnivores and I headed to DHS and PTC.
I walked over to the podium and checked in. Heather Lastname-thats two big kids and one little kid, right? Right. I confirmed. We were told to wait in the living room. I told the boys that it was decorated like my grandmothers house would have been when my mom and uncle were growing up.
They were underwhelmed. I was worried we wouldnt hear our name, so we hung out near the podium. The boys pin traded with Uncle Gary, who was from Maine. I prompted the boys to tell Uncle Gary about their camping trip to Maine. We were called, I asked Uncle Gary for a kids menu for Mordie, as he can go either way in terms of food. We were seated, and Uncle Gary gave us Moms rules-No hats, no elbows on the table, and eat your veggies. We greeted out two very large groups of cousins. Once Uncle Gary told us that Mordie immediately removed his hat. (hops on soapbox) I know theres been some hubbub on the boards about dress codes at restaurants. I ask, if a twelve year old has the wherewithal to take his hat off inside, why cant adults? (hops off soapbox). I told the boys that they could get any drinks they wanted-Mordie asked if he could have a Pirate Punch, and Ferdie wanted chocolate milk. I ordered a PBJ shake. Our waiter, Uncle Patrick, took our drink orders. Uncle Patrick was very nice, but always seemed a little harried. I asked Uncle Patrick if Mom had any veggie burgers in the back (I had seen one in V_GANs reviews), he said hed check. The boys perused the menus. Mordie asked if he could have a grilled hot dog (thats classic Mordie-straight off the menu). He wanted a salad to start. Ferdie decided on macncheese, I offered him the shrimp appetizer, and I could literally see the thought cross his mind, but he said No, macncheese*. He said he wanted chicken soup as his starter. Uncle Patrick returned with the boys drinks, Mom was still making mine. He hadnt checked on the veggie burger. He returned, and I was good to go with my burger. Ferdie ordered macncheese and a salad with honey mustard dressing, Mordie ordered a grilled hot dog and a salad with ranch dressing.
We watched TV, the boys colored on their menus, and chatted. (Pointless story-the last time I was at PTC, the New Mickey Mouse Club-the one with every celebrity from the late 90s-was filming at MGM studios, and my kids menu had Mickey Mouse Club trivia on it). My milkshake finally arrived-it was more peanut buttery than jelly-y, but it was good (and there was a lot of it). The boys salads arrived-Mordie and Ferdie debated the merits of honey mustard dressing vs. ranch.
Mordies torso with salad. Mordie ate all of his salad, Ferdie ate about 50%-I thought they were a good size for a kids meal.
Uncle Patrick arrived with our food. Mordie began putting black pepper on his hot dog. He ate his hot dog and fries. My veggie burger was also very good. Ferdie ate maybe 50% of his macncheese and then sprinkled black pepper on his.
At this point, our cousins had left. I wasnt sure if the boys were getting into it, but they didnt appear to be having a bad time. Ferdie turned to me I wonder if were getting any more cousins? Uncle Gary walked by, I told him I hated to me a tattletale, but Ferdie hadnt taken his hat off. Uncle Gary told him hed better do so, so Mom didnt have to come out of the kitchen. Ferdie removed his hat. Uncle Patrick came by to offer us dessert-he immediately offered the boys the make your own sundaes that come with kids meals, which I was impressed by. I said we wanted to peruse the menu. At some point Uncle Patrick referred to me to the boys as Mom. Neither party commented at the time (which is unusual for Mordie). The boys enjoyed the dessert viewmaster. They both opted for the smores, I got the brownie sundae. The boys liked the smores, I liked my sundae but it was a lot of food.
We finished up and headed out. I had a good time, as did the boys. Uncle Patrick was a little harried, and it looked like some of our cousins were having more fun with their aunts and uncles, but we had a good time. I'd return to PTC again (might not wait 25 years this time, though-LOL).
Sally grabbed a seafood stew. Mickey had the butternut squash, he has shellfish issues, so a couple of soups were out of the question for him. I had butternut squash soup, bread with hummus, and the papaya, grapefruit, avocado salad. 
We had a breakfast booked at Tusker House the day after Boma. We arived, and were seated. They were very good about bringing us juice, coffee, etc. For those of you who haven't read my other food reviews, in addition to not eating meat, I hate eggs, so breakfasts can be a pain. However, there were a lot of good options-a sweet potato casserole, mickey waffles, biscuits, and cornbread. If you're going to Tusker House, do not miss the corn bread-it's rustic loaf covered in corn. There were some frittatas, including a vegetarian one, but i did not have them. I didn;t actually ask, but it looked like most items I saw that were vegetarian has eggs or dairy, but if you're a vegan you could call them directly. The carnivores had a lot of food they liked too, the 12 year old carnivore liked the bacon-that was what he recalled while on the phone with my mother later that night. the character interaction was great too-I'd definately return. They also had the banana bread pudding that they have at lunch time-it would be very easy to make this your brunch (which we did). We saw Mickey, goofy, Donald and Daisy-I've heard reports of Pluto but he was not there.
