The Plan
A full day at MGM then evening meal at Hollywood and Vine followed by Fantasmic.
The Reality
We didnt have to worry about making our PS at Hollywood and Vine due to the mistake yesterday. As it was Fantasmic was cancelled so having to go the day before did us a favour really. We arrived shortly after the rope drop and found the park to be very quiet. Infact we rode Tower of Terror ten times in a row with no wait. The backlot tour seemed very cut down compared to last time this is probably due to Lights Motors Action. We did Who Wants To Be A Millionaire but the questions were too Americanised for us to get on the scoreboard. We thought the parade was very good and I did my best to film it. A lot of the characters at the start came up and waved at us and it wasnt until I had followed R2D2 through the camera lens that I realized that I hadnt pressed record. Again it was very hot and we had chosen a spot with no shade and towards the end I was wiping sweat out of my eyes so that I could still see. The only things we missed were Playhouse Disney, Honey I Shrunk the kids and Beauty and the Beast. I cant remember where we ate that night but I think it was Rain Forest cafe via that little bar in Downtown Disney that does the Rum Runners. We had burgers some beer and then some special cocktails in a nice souvenir printed glass, mine is now a nice plain glass after putting it through the dishwasher last week. We took the boat back to POR and spent the whole time being eaten by mosquitoes. I really must remember to take some jungle formula next time.
