The Seas
Harry loved watching the fishes in the Seas pavilion. He did not like Turtle talk with Crush.

Hi Grandpa and Grandma
The food at California Grill
I had the bison tenderloin with baby brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. Leanne had the Alaskan halibut with parsnip “silk” (puree) and both yellow and red beets. For dessert I had the sundae sampler (caramel sundae, root beer float and banana split) and Leanne had the warm homemade banana fritters with caramel, chocolate, and peanut butter dips. Harry loved the fritters. They were kind of like relief sale tea balls but banana flavoured. Overall the food was great but the portions were small and the price was crazy expensive.

Private dinner with Mickey
Leanne and Harry ditch me a lot so now I have someone to hangout with.
Inside California Grill
Inside the California Grill. $150 for two of us. Little Harry was sound asleep when we checked in so they let us bring him to the table in his stroller. It was a great break.
Mime from Tangled
Harry got us a lot of attention from the parade characters.
Giraffe
On the African Safari ride in Animal Kingdom. Harry loved seeing all the animals. That giraffe actually bumped its head on our truck.

Ohana
Harry loved Ohana’s and so did I
Dinner at Ohana
We had a wonderful dinner tonight at Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian resort. It was all you can eat. They started off with sweet bread and butter followed by lettuce wraps then pork dumplings and chicken wings. Then came the skewers of steak (medium rare), shrimp and pork. Everything was cooked on a huge open fire grill and was served to us right from the massive skewers. There was also a noodle and vegetable course. Little Harry got a special macaroni and cheese dish which was free but he like sampling all the other wonderful food as well. Everything was cooked wonderfully. It was so hard to force ourselves to save room for later courses. The whole time they had a Hawaiian lady walking around singing and playing her ukelele. She also got all the little kids involved with playing a game involving pushing coconuts across the room with brooms. Then they did some hula dancing and little Harry almost participated. He and his mother got a lei though anyway.
Service was excellent. Servers were constantly trying to bring us more food. They were great with little Harry too.
We will definitely be going there again on our next trip, which won’t be until about 2022, but that’s a different story.
Finally, we had dessert which consisted of bread pudding with coconut banana sauce and ice cream. Little Harry got his own little bowl of ice cream too. Which he ate with a spoon by himself. Wow was he a mess.
All in all, Harry was really good throughout the entire meal until we took his empty ice cream dish away in order to clean him up. That was the only time he really protested.

The big Pop Century sign that I never get a chance to take a picture of because it is hard on a bus
Sleeping on the bus
The little boy fell asleep on the bus and didn’t wake up until he had been sleeping in his bed for about 30 minutes. Then he had a bottle and went right back to sleep.
Lunch at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. I’d like to point out that I chose the healthy option. The Greek salad is mine and the Cheeseburger is Leanne’s.
Dumbo Ride Play Area
This is the waiting play area for the Dumbo ride. It’s really great for kids. They give you a pager and then let you play until your pager beeps. Harry loved the fire truck so much that he didn’t want to share. We made it onto the Dumbo ride for about 5 seconds then left because Harry started screaming and wouldn’t sit in the seat with us. We were just at the Haunted Mansion before this and he did great.
