Another bright and early morning as we were planning on spending the day at MGM Studios. We had our usual breakfast at Colonel's Cotton Mill and then took the bus to MGM. As soon as we walked through the gates, we were hounded by those photo people. I think by the end of the day we had 5 pictures of us. We only bought one. We headed over towards Rockin Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror.
The line for the Rockin Coaster wasn't that long, but we decided to get fastpasses and then head for the Tower. Of course it was broken down and they were only letting people with fastpasses on. So we decided to go see Beauty and the Beast Live on stage instead. That is my favorite Disney movie so I was excited. Chip was so adorable!
When that was over, we used our fastpasses for Rockin. What a great coaster! All 4 of us loved it! We checked back on Tower and it was still broken so we decided to do the Great Movie Ride. On our way, we passed an ice cream stand and Lise and I just had to stop. Even though they don't have a big selection, I think the Disney parks have the best ice cream!
We went on the Movie Ride and that was good. Our little tour guide was very entertaining. Afterwards, we went back and got fastpasses to Tower and then went and saw the Indiana Jones show and Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Captain was dying to be a volunteer for the show but didn't get picked. I liked the Little Mermaid show. The puppets were great!
Next we headed back to the Tower and got right on. Kiddo sat this one out cause she was scared. I was nervous but ended up loving it. The ride isn't as bad as it looks. Lise and Captain were making fun of me because in the picture you can tell I'm screaming my lungs out!
After Tower we decided to get fastpasses for Rockin again and then we went and did Star Tours and Magic of Disney Animation. We got fastpasses for MuppetVision and went back and did Rockin. We were doing a little shopping on Sunset Blvd when Lise started feeling sick, so we ended up leaving and going back to our hotel. We had PS for the Hoopdeedoo Review later that evening at Fort Wilderness Lodge so we wanted her feeling better.
She was feeling better and we went to the 9:30 show of Hoopdeedoo. We had such a good time. Lise and I had both turned 21 the week before so the show was a gift from Kiddo and Captain. Of course when they asked if there were any birthdays, Captain made sure they saw me and Lise. Lise did not want them to know it was her birthday. They announced us and everyone sang and it wasn't as embarrasing and Lise thought it would be. The food was great...all you can eat fried chicken and pork ribs, corn and baked beans. And dessert was strawberry shortcake...yummy! Captain and I had a great time, but Kiddo and Lise didn't look like they enjoyed it much...at least they weren't into the show like Cap and I were.
When the show was over, we headed back to our hotel and hit the General Store again. Then it was bedtime because the next day was going to be a very busy day.
*next stop Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, and Downtown Disne
