A FANTASMIC DAY AT MGM!
Day 2 – October 9, 2012 Part 5
It was in the Fantasmic lineup that I made my first big mistake. I decided that I really needed the washroom. Thinking there was no way the line was moving for a while, and since no one was bringing the washroom to me, I headed off while K8 waited in line.
Big mistake. Big. Huge! (Pretty Woman, 1990)
I arrived back to the line to see it was moving. Ruh Roh. I checked my phone to be greeted by multiple text messages.
And now, dear readers, I give you the text based account of this adventure which lasted approximately 10-15 minutes but felt much, much longer:
K8: Where r u?
K8: Line has moved
K8: Hello???
Me: Sorry did u go in?
K8: Yes
Me: OK on my way up
K8: Ahhh ok, u prob wont find me now
Me: In back of the line but inside
K8: Walk up the middle of road, I just seen another guy do it
K8: Do u want me to wait or get seat
Me: Ur call. I don’t think I’m far
K8: OK
Me: Once it disburses just wait. I’ll be there shortly
Me: I'm just passing stroller parking
Me: What section r u in
K8: Have no clue im standing
K8: By bleachers
Me: There’s characters names at the top of the bleachers
K8: Right when u walk in
K8: Im at seats
K8: 2nd group Im standing
Me: Look back. At the top of the section theres characters
K8: I CANT SEE MINE
K8: Look for girl standing in front of everyone sitting
Finally, I successfully spotted the crazy girl flailing her arms in the air. Beside her I saw Katie.
END SCENE!
Our rousing text based game of Marco Polo now complete, we finally settled in. She had actually scored some pretty choice seats. Bonus! I was surprised that they had added a pre-show to Fantasmic to entertain guests while they wait. Not a bad idea, but I really miss the spontaneous wave that inevitably starts up. Disney fans just know how to entertain themselves.
Fantasmic was, as usual, fantastic.
If you don’t get chills when Sorcerer Mickey appears, and the music hits a crescendo, and the pyro… OK, I’m getting goose bumps right now.
K8 had never seen it before. She commented on how much she liked the bubbles with the characters inside. I was fascinated since I hear so many people hating on this sequence.
As an aside, WDW REALLY needs to bring the “Glow With The Show” Mouse Ears east. First, because I want these ears… no I NEED these ears. Plus, look at it for Fantasmic in Disneyland. Disney just continues to amaze me.

We made our way with the crowd towards the exit as the park was now closed. But not before doing something I had completely forgotten in all the excitement when we arrived 12 hours before…
Phew! Crisis averted. Memories restored.
UP NEXT... ANIMALS, EXPEDITIONS, AND A FIREWORKS FINALE

We were lucky enough to see her during 
I don't envy you having to try and spot someone in the massive crowd that is the Fantasmic ampitheatre. I'm glad you found K8 and also glad you loved the show! I can't wait to see it again in May - we missed it last February because it was under refurbishment!
I love seeing new people joining in. 
for FOTLK Katt, that's for sure.
