Haunted Mansion movie & Little Italy pizza

The Haunted Mansion movie came out this past weekend. The Malco IMAX screen is still showing Oppenheimer, but the Malco MXT screen is showing Haunted Mansion! So Babs and I decided to go see it in MXT Sunday at 4:20pm at the Malco Powerhouse Cinema. I knew I didn't have a Haunted Mansion-only shirt to wear to the show, but then I realized that I did have a shirt that had Haunted Mansion on it: a shirt I bought at Disney World back in 2010! So I put that sucker on!
See...Haunted Mansion is on there! 👓

Ready to see Haunted Mansion on the almost-IMAX screen!

Got me a Transformers: Rise of the Beasts cup!

After the movie, I saw that there was a Little Italy pizza place just down the street from the theater. We had eaten at the one in Midtown before and it was dee-lish. So we just left our car at the Malco and walked down the street to the restaurant.

When we got to Little Italy, we ordered the Meat Lovers Pizza. Barbra said it was cooler outside than it was inside, so we ate outside. We were also not far from Earnestine and Hazel’s, so I gave Barbra an education on how that place is deemed one of the most haunted places in America. It was fitting to be so close to it, since we just saw the Haunted Mansion movie! 👻

The pizza arrives, New York style. Where's Kariann to do the pizza face? 😃

Chow time. We're ready, Teddy. 😋 But it's a good thing Teddy wasn't here! 😁

After eating, we wanted milkshakes, so we went to Dixie Queen in West Memphis for dessert. When we got there and ordered, they told us on the speaker that it would be three hours before they had ice cream again! So then we went to the Wendy's drive-through and the car in front of us at the speaker wasn't moving, so we left there, too. Then we went to Krystal, and there were two cars in front of us before the speaker, and they weren't moving either! Then we went to Sonic in Marion and were finally able to get our milkshakes. Fast-food restaurants, yall need to get it together!

Finally got some dessert. Only took going to four fast food joints. Pathetic! 😠😄
