Today is Tuesday! We got up with a wake up call of 730AM and were going to ride the buses today to see whether or not they were efficient in time or not. We walk up to the bus stop and bam, there's the bus for MGM, ok it's beginners luck, I'm sure! We get to MGM, holy cow, where did all these people come from, yes I know its early entry day but goodness there's alot of people! We enter and get fast passes for TOT and head to the Backlot tour, same tour but so much shorter.We only rode it to hopefully get a glimpse of the new Stunt Show, we were not disappointed! The whole time we were on the tour, we could see the motorcycles and cars racing, it was so exciting! At one point our tour guide could not speak because they were so loud! It was awesome! We headed to eat lunch at Pizza Planet, good pizza,lots of people as always there! We headed to do TOT with our fast passes, then went to Little Mermaid. I love this show, with that said, where did this Ariel come from??? Off tone and trying to make the songs "her own" and was singing with different emphasis on the words, was really making it lousy for alot of people. I have never heard such a bad performance from a young lady in that show, until today. I hope when we go back to Disney for our second half of the stay, there is a different Ariel as this one was just not good enough, in alot of people's opinions. We headed to Muppets 3D and it was fun as always.We got seats for the Stars and Motorcars parade.It was very warm out but the parade was nice as I remember it to be. We headed back to the room and the bus ride from MGM to All Stars wasn't too bad, we only waited 5 minutes at MGM for the bus.Maybe I am too worried about the nightmare of the bus problem I have heard people talk of. We refresh at the room then head out to Animal Kingdom around 6pm for late night hours.We walk out to the bus stop and WOW, there's the Animal Kingdom bus pulling up as we get out to the stop, our luck is unreal! We are the only ones and he takes us out to the park.We go in, get our bands for the night and go to eat dinner at Restaurantasauras, where we all had cheesburgers.This place is run by McDonalds so I feared greasy burgers, like their quarter pounders but they were actually great and not greasy at all. We left the restaurant and headed to Dinosaur and rode 2 times, each time the ride stopped at the end and 2 times while we waited in line. We rode Triceratops Spin 2 times and Primeval Whirl once, with fast passes. We went to see Tough to be a bug, then walked around the whole park, even though everything was closed.We noticed Kali Rapids open and I thought it was odd that it was not listed on the list of Open rides. We encountered an interesting CM over by Tarzan Rocks, a much older gentleman. We saw fire shooting up in the air, and we knew it was from Kali River Rapids. He told us to stand there and watch, that it was the Magic Kingdom Show, and that it went off 2 times a night and where he was, was the best spot to view it. It made me a bit sad, I hope someone that works with him tells him that its in his own park and from one of his own attractions! It was a good Late night hours but wasn't too much open but it was enough to still have a great time! Tomorrow, our last day at Disney before we head to Universal then back to Disney on Sunday!
