Ok so we are still on our Free Day!!
After doing whatever, wherever the plan is to meet up at Magic Kingdom and head to dinner somewhere! So we did!
We headed to Fantasy Land to see Mickey's Philharmagic and figure out where to go eat dinner! Since it was getting late we figured Downtown Disney was our best bet. I figured the kids would like T-Rex as we have been to the Rainforest Cafe, and while it was fun and the food was ok, our service both times we have been was bad, bad, bad... So T-Rex it would be!
BUT.... while waiting inside Mickey's Philharmagic for the doors to open, I hear someone scream my name then my husbands name...believe it or not it was friends of ours from home!!
A little back story...there daughter who is 4 has Leukemia and Make A Wish sent them to Disney.
We found out the day before we left (via facebook) that we would be there the same time! So after a couple FB exchanges and cell phone # swaps we said if time permits we would meet up!
Well longer story short... we kept missng one another, as they also were doing Universal & Sea World.
Well this particular day, I didnt take my phone to the park and hubby's phone was dying out...so when they hit MK that evening and got no answer from me, and hubby's message went to voice mail that he never heard or checked being that at that point our group was all together, they figured it was another no go.......
Until they decided to try Mickey's Philharmagic one more time, the wait was only 5 minutes so they just walked on in and....Seen Us!!!!!!!!!
Very Cool to say the least!!! So we stayed in Fantasy Land for a while, did a couple rides, stayed for fireworks and then we all headed to T-Rex in Downtown Disney!!
So my son and there son (who is the same age as mine) were having a blast taking pictures of the dino's, the ice cave and everything else in there! It is a really neat place! So the boys also took some food pics!
These were just some of the appetizers we all shared, I believe they were...
Brachiosaurus Bruschetta - Grilled eggplant, bruschetta tomatoes, herbed cheese and toasted focaccia bread drizzled with a balsamic glaze $8.99
Colosso Nachos - Seasoned beef, pico de gallo, black beans, green onions, cheddar cheese, queso sauce and sour cream $13.99
and one of these...Supersaurus Sampler - For an appetite as big as T-REX! Spinach and pepper jack queso with tortilla chips, Brachiosaurus Bruschetta, T-Rexadillas and Onion Rings $17.99 Add Ribs for $4.99
Now why after the appetizers the boys "dropped the ball" on the food pics I dont know
We were all just having a blast, and our waiter was from Pittsburgh!!! He asked if we were, being that I think in the group we had a total of 4 Steeler shrits, hey gotta represent, right!
So that was an extra plus, got to share some "hometown" stories with him, very cool

Not a complaint to be heard! And man did we eat!!!! My goodness we had food everywhere and were there for I know 3 hours
