day 1: AT THE MOUSE'S HOUSE

the FIRST order of business after we got our things into our room was to head out to the park and find some FOOD!!!! along the way, my bff pointed out my FAVORITE princess in the whole wide world (i have NEVER gotten to see her up close & personal!!!) .......BUT we did not have time, on his agenda, to stop and see her! THANKFULLY my camera has a GREAT zoom lens

and then i had to 'RUN' as best as my gimpy leg would allow.......a lot of the park was closed down as mickey & friends were getting ready for the big HALLOWEEN extravaganza.  so we were forced to search outside the box for a place to eat and ended up at an all-you-can-eat bbq place that no one had ever tried before.......turns out it was PRETTY TASTY! the chicken was moist and the ribs were so tender they just fell off the ribs.....and there was corn bread, cole slaw and beans to round out the yummy meal

while we were eatting the boys were exploring their surroundings and i was so lucky to get some PERFECT PHOTO OPS!

....after lunch we rode the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN and then i decided to be 'smart' and head back to the room to rest for the big weekend ahead of us....meanwhile everyone else went on to FANTASYLAND to spend the rest spent the afternoon
