Day 4-After a late night at MK we slept until 10:30 and grabbed some food from Roaring Forks. Laura picked us up at 11:30am adn we were off to MGM. I love this place! The weather was sunny and hot.
We got a photo with Lilo and Stich at the animation courtyard and then got fast passes for Millionnaire before getting on Little Mermaid. This show makes me cry!! We then did Millionnaire for the first time. What a fun show, unfortunatley none us made it to the leader board. Neither contestant made it past 1,000.
We stopped for some ice cream and then did the Great Movie Ride for the 1st time. What fun! We had the gangster scene. By then it was time for our 3:30 PS at Prime Time. First time going there, we usually do Sci-Fi but were getting tired of it. Our server was great=-fun but didnt make us stand against the wall or sing. THe vanilla milkshake was out of this world-real vanilla bean ice cream! The kids got the light up ice cube drinks. I got the meatloaf and ike got the pot raost so we could share. Both were good, but we espcially liked the pot roast. Sis got a sandwich and kids got hot dog or mac n cheese. I had to have the Smores for dessert. YUMMY!!!!
When lunch was over we saw that it was POURING out! I mean buckets and buckets of rain. We put on our $1 Target ponchos but they were useless. They ripped and felt like saran wrap gainst your skin-hot and sticky. We said screw it and just ran and got wet. We ran for Playhouse Disney and luckily they were letting people in early so we got to dry off. Kis loved the show. Byt the end of the show the rain had stopped and the 5:30 parade was about to start. We got one of the last remaining spots right outside of the hat. What a fun parade.
After the parade we headed over for the last Beauty show and got to see Four For a Dollar-what a good group. The show was beautiful as always. We then headed for TOT. When they measured my son they said he wasnt 40 inches(funny he was the ngiht before at e-night) Mike was mad and told us to go on without him. While in line they announced that they were having technical difficulaties and it might be awhile. We decided to get out of line and find Mike. Meanwhile he had gone to the ride manager and insisted that they re-measure Declan. He did and he was 40 inches. TO apologize he led us up to the front of the line and we got right up TOT. We all had a blast.
By now it was 8pm and the line for RNC was 50 minutes. We decided to skip it and go ahead into Fantasmic which was already filling up. We got some pop, popcorn and cotton candy (i was bummed they dont have caramel corn anymore) It was an AWESOME show! We then strolled the shops-I bought a tinkerbelle that hangs from your comouter monitor and the girls got some colored M&Ms. We then went back to WL for a dip in the pool and some pizza from Roaring Forks before bed.
Highlights- Fantasmic!
Seeing Lilo & Stich
50s Primetime
Lowlights-RAIN
TOT height measurement-they really need a to give
wristbands or something to kids so they dont have to
keep getting re-measured.
