Okay, so where were we? Oh, yeah...we were leaving the MK and heading back to the practically perfect POP! Again, no long waits for the bus at all! 
Going back to our practically perfect room
(past the Goofy pop jets, past the Twister game, past the Mickey phone, under the Big Wheel), we talked about what we should plan for our LAST Disney night. Having dinner at the POP Century food court sounded appealing, and then, we thought we would go over to the Disney MGM Studios, because we had not *yet* seen "Fantasmic!", and also wanted to try and see Walt Disney: One Man's Dream.
At the Everything POP food court, Mark ordered the Chinese meal-in-a-box that he seemed to have gotten addicted to ... (now, I really, really, really don't like Chinese food <never mind that he took me to a Chinese restaurant on our first date, and I still married him
>, so he gets it whenever he can--read, on his birthday, so he was quite happy to be able to get Chinese food at Disney World! 
). The food court has the menus posted above every little "station" and they have these flashing pictures to make you think you can't live without trying certain food items...well, it worked on me since I had been wanting to try one of the "Mom's Night Out" specials that I had seen flashing all week ! I just had to try the chicken dinner since the flash-by made it look so appealing! This came in a little silver foil container, kind of like a t.v. dinner...awww, how cute was that?? 
Our meal was actually very, very good and as a bonus, quite reasonably priced! (Have I mentioned how much I LOVE POP Century???)

), we walked over to the bus stop for Disney MGM-Studios and waited for the bus. And waited for the bus. And waited for the bus. And waited for the bus. And waited for the bus. 
While doing all this waiting for the bus, we saw bus-after-bus *returning* to POP Century from the Magic Kingdom...remember how the MK closed early for grad night?? Apparently, all the buses were busy bringing guests *back* from the (now closed) Magic Kingdom. Okay, so this was *not* good. This was our *last* night at Disney, and our *last* chance to see "Fantasmic!" and we did NOT want to miss it!!!! 
) After a while, I noticed someone walking by with a frozen lemonade and decided I really, really, really needed to get one. They have concession stands set up behind each section of seats, but I was told that the frozen lemonade is ONLY sold at the one concession stand where you first enter the theater, so I headed back there. YIKES!!!! There were a LOT of people going the OTHER way!!! I nudged my way thru the crowd that was surging in the opposite direction, and finally reached my goal! 
) Realizing my mistake, I finally found my way back to the RIGHT row and noticed how everyone was doing a kind of "dance"!!!
Apparently, everyone who had a hat with them decided to use it to swat at the gnats that were swarming around the theater (in case anyone is confused, the theater is a HUGE outdoor stadium-type theater!). It was very warm, still, outside, and the gnats must have liked that a whole lot. It just looked beyond funny to me to see all these hats just swatting away at all these little gnats. Hundreds and hundreds of hats being waved back and forth in the air!!!
