continued....
With the argument behind us and our dresses ready, all we had to do was wait for my father and step sister. They soon arrived and we all gathered to catch the bus to MGM for 5pm dinner at Mamma Melrose with the Fantasmic package.
We arrived around 4:30 and then as a HUGE group decided to meet at 520 for dinner. We all wanted to go fast pass something to hopefully get to ride after dinner. My mother, stepfather, Paul and I fast passed tower of terror(well not my mom....not into thrill rides). Then we made our way over to Mamma Melrose. We arrived and I checked on the cake I had ordered for my sisters birthday before she got into the restaurant. SOon after that everyone was there and we were seated.
As you can imagine, ordering and getting all of our dinners took some time(we had 17 people). For dessert we had cake....as a surprise for my sister.
After dessert we got our bills and then had to pay with our meal plan...which again took a lot of time. As our server brought our bill she noted that it was late...probably after 7:30 by this time....She mentioned she had called over to Fantasmic to tell them we were coming and had run late. She gave us our Fantasmic passes and we RAN over with the fear of being more late.
We arrived, walked through the back entrance to Fantasmic. But when we walked in it was PACKED....I mean packed. There were no seats. We went over to a CM as asked where our seats were and he tells us because we were late they gave them away.....WHAT????? How can that be??? We were not happy...my poor father didnt know waht was going on at all...he just went to the standing room only section and sat. Meanwhile, Paul was still talking to the CM, explaining what happened and how and why we were late. He told them we were getting married the next day too. The CM proceeds to go to talk to other CMs and then tells us to follow him. We follow and he takes us to a roped off section for VIPs only!!! It was dead center. Fabulous seats....and we all go to sit together. It was awesome! SO what started out as a hard day actually ended in a great way wiht some Pixie Dust!
Here are some pics of the family waiting for Fantasmic---in our VIP seats!
Next up: The most beautiful and special day of my life....my wedding.
