First Ever Magical Disney Vacation!!

Day 4: MGM and, of course, more MK :goodvibes (The day is split into 2 posts because there were too many pictures for only 1 post.)

Me and brother 9 before leaving the room (with his dinosaur from Ak.)

Breakfast was again at Old Port Royale. Then off to MGM. We wanted to catch some of the shows that we were too late to catch on day 1. As we entered the park, brother 9 saw Stitch and wanted a picture so the rest of us went to the little shop under Mickey's hat. :wizard: We also saw Mickey and Goofy but didn't stop since we had seen them at AK already and knew we would see them at Chef Mickey's that night (8:10 ADR's) We got fastpasses for the Lights, Motors Action! Extreme Stunt Show. Our return time was somewhere around 11:00 am, which we thought was good because we were hoping to get in and out before it got too hot since it is outside. Meanwhile, we decided to go over to the Mupped 3-D show which had no wait. There seemed to be almost no one on that side of the park right after it opened so we watched the pre-show and went right into the theatre. It was a good show, but like I said before, the It's Tough to be a Bug show at AK was my favorite. When we came out it still wasn't time for the stunt show so we walked around and just happened to be passing by right as Woody and the gang from Toy Story came out. Of course, we have pics. :)

The boys with the green army man from Toy Story. Very manly picture :rotfl2:

We also took pictures with Jessie and Herbie before heading over to the stunt show. There were a LOT of people there and I think everyone had a fast pass so we all had to wait. We waited for a few mintues before they let us go past the turnstyles. Then we waited with a big group of people for about 5 mintues before they let us walk down and under the stadium seating where we waited again with a large number of people. We waited for about 30 min and finally heard someone talking over a loud speaker. Unfortunately for us, no one could tell what was being said. The only word I heard during the whole speach was DELAY! :sad2: I was already sitting down (my blisters were getting worse) so we sat for about 20 more minutes waiting to see if they would let us go sit down for the show. Finally, they did. We got inside the stadium and saw a good spot for all of us on the third row! Very exciting. We realized about 5 minutes later why there was such a big area with no one sitting there...it was in the sun! :sunny: The overhang shaded the row behind us but not us. It was sooooo hot! Luckly, after a while the sun moved and we ended up in the shaded part too. The stunt show was good. The boys especially liked it.

Very cool stunts!

As we were trying to figure out what to do next, we saw the Monsters Inc. characters were just coming out. We got see them without any wait! We were very lucky with the characters today! :woohoo:

DH, sister 14, Mike, brother 9, Sully, me, sister 17 and brother 12. We love Monsters Inc! :sulley:

Since it was right there, we at lunch at the ABC Commissary. Lunch was good. I think everyone had burgers except mom, dad and dh who had fish yet again. :) Everyone thought the food was pretty good and the dessert was good too...chocolate mousse!

After lunch, we walked right pass the Great Movie Ride and there was no wait so we decided to give that a try. It was a nice sit down ride. All the girls are Wizard of Oz fans so it was cool to see the set up they had.
 
We went back to CBR late in the afternoon. Mom, me, sisters and brother 9 went to the pool for a little while, dh napped, and dad and brother 12 went for a ride in the two seater boats (which brother 12 was dying to drive.) We wish we had more time to spend at the pool. This was the only day time trip to the pool. We never even got to see the smaller pools for our individual set of buildings.

Pictures of the main pool at CBR. Brother 9 went down the slide some but no one else even had time to make use of it.

We had dinner reservations at Chef Mickey's that night so we took the bus over to MK and then the monorail to the Contemporary. We allowed plenty of time to get there since we didn't know exactly how long it would take so we looked in the shops at the Contemporary while we waited. This dinner was SO FUN! We loved all the characters...they were so playful. The atmosphere was fun with the singing and twirling napkins. The food was great too. They have a great sundae bar!!!

Us with Dale. He signed the girls' autograph books but when Chip came by, he signed too and put under his name that he was cooler than Dale. :teeth:

Dale wanted a "cool guys" pic with DH. :smooth:

Me and DH with Chef Mickey (at least most of him...sister 14 cut off his ears!)

After dinner, we caught the monorail back to MK and got there just in time to see Wishes. We watched from a great spot (up the stairs at the building close to the front gate...I think it is where the train comes but not sure of the name of the building.) What a great show with great music! :cloud9: I think mom cried :goodvibes

Since we stayed so close to the front of the park, we were able to get out easily and back on a bus to CBR. It was time for sleep!

To come in Day 5: Epcot, tired kids and rain!
