Since I get up early at WDW, I decided to walk around the BCV and take in some of the scenery. After a few hours I went back up to the room to see if anyone wanted to join me over at MGM. My dd, Jen, and her hubby wanted to see Millionaire so we're off - just happened a boat was waiting so we rode over. We went and grabbed our fast pass for Millionaire and walked over to "One Man's Dream". Jen's hubby spotted one of the video games he had made the music for in there - Tarzan for the gameboy. Wow - I had never seen it in all my times in there - smiles on all of our faces. We enjoyed this exhibit - and headed back over to Millionaire - a full audience. Fast finger time and a Japanese fellow won - funny tho, he knew very little english. This must have been a first because the host was perplexed - they got a japanese interpreter on the line to help talk him thru the game. After about 20 minutes of explanations, he was asked the first question and guessed wrong. I have to say he was quite entertaining for not understanding exactly what was going on. I told my dd and her hubby not exactly the way that attraction goes. My dd was in the top 10 when they went to the audience to see who could sit in the seat next.
Back to BC and decided to relax and enjoy Storm Along Bay before heading over to EPCOT for more of the Wine and Food Festival. Took in the festival and stayed for Illuminations this time and then back to the resort.
Jen was giddy by the time we got to our room and "wanted ice cream" so I suggested that we head down to Beaches and Cream. We had fun here and fed our faces big time calories and decided to check out the arcade before leaving. While in the arcade we had a celebrity sighting - Erik Estrada! He was there playing some of the games and tried to help Jen with the crane game to win a stuff animal - he was coaching her. We were all surprised at his friendliness - of course, not one of us had a camera with us! Figures! So we hung out here for a while playing a few of the games before heading up to the room for the night.
 
How thrilling to meet Erik Estrada! I grew up watching CHiPs, So I would have been starstruck!
 
No camera??? Isn't that like unAmerican or something? What fun to meet a celebrity :)
 

Krissalee - Erik Estrada happens to be my son-in-laws hero from his childhood - he watched Chips all the time too!
