I still woke through the night, 3:00am, 4:00am, 5:00am. Everyone else woke around 7:00am. Managed to get everyone our of the door for 7:30am. Quick breakfast at the Food Court then off to MGM Studios. We arrived about 20minutes before the park opening at 9:00am. Through the turnstiles and then we were held at a rope barrier heading for the Tower Of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster. We headed first to RRC but were told when we entered the queue that Liam was too small to even enter the building. This is a very silly rule as we were quite clear that Liam was too small to ride the coaster we just wanted to queue together then child swap. No, he cannot enter the building was the answer.
This through our plan into disarray. We eventually took off out petted lips and regrouped, Fast Passes were obtained and we then headed for TOT. Even though we told the children that they were not riding TOT, Kerri was continually saying Im not riding that!!. This was to be a repeating message we were to hear for quite and few more days. It was us being paid back for bad parents and scaring her witless on Dinosaur. We child swapped on TOT, both Suzanne and myself thoroughly enjoyed it and we both giggled and laughed through the whole thing. Brilliant. We both missed not sharing the thrill rides together, we think it is great to share a ride with someone. Even so early the children were showing signs the past few days were catching up with them and they were tiring fast. It was now time for us to meet up with a lovely Canadian Family (Charles, Isabelle, Laurence, Maude and Jerome), we had chatted to on the DIS. Lime green ribbons were spotted under the Sourcers Hat. We had a short chat, exchanged a few holiday stories and then wished each other a happy holiday. We had decided to scrap our touring plans because the children were not going to last. We went to see Muppet Vision 3d, this got a big thumbs up from everyone. We had lunch at the Backlot Express. While we were eating the heaven opened and that sealed the fait of today, we donned the ponchos and headed for the resort buses.
When we got back to the hotel, we decided to take the Open House Tour of the new DVC Beach Club Villas, the bribery for the children was the play centre. Very relaxed atmosphere and the Beach Club Villas are very nice. Next we headed back to the hotel. The children insisted that they have their pool time, so we had a late dinner at the Food Court and then lights out at 10:30pm. Today was an altogether better day.
Tommorrow Magic Kingdom or Where has the dragon gone?
