Kaylee & Alan’s Trip Report Day 12 – MGM, Fantasia mini-golf and Fantasmic

Day 12

Cast
Kaylee – aged 26, first time visitor to WDW
Alan – aged 28, second visit to WDW, first when he was 8

We were up bright and early this morning for EE at MGM. But unfortunately so was everyone else it seemed. We rode Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller coaster without any queue. I also brought a few goodies in the Tower of Terror shop. Next we tried to get on The Great Movie Ride again, but there was already a 35 minute wait – it looked like we wouldn’t see this on this trip.

We headed over to Hollywood & Vine for our PS. Our PS was for 9.50am and we arrived at 9.45am and we were not seated until 10.25am. Up until now our PS’s have always been very good and we have always been seated before our PS time. Because the restaurant were taking so many walk-in’s they were making all of the PS’s late. The character’s here were Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale, they were all dressed up ‘Hollywood’ style. Breakfast here was good too. Minnie stayed at the entrance and everyone else toured the restaurant.

After breakfast we went to Al’s Toy Barn and queued up for Jessie, Buzz and Woody’s autographs and pictures. Buzz and Woody’s autographs were only stamps. We also wanted to see the Indiana Jones Show – we arrived 20 minuets early and it was standing room only – so we got a fast pass for later.

We left MGM and got the boat to the Swan and walked out to Fantasia Garden’s. We enjoyed this it wasn’t too busy and it was nice to have some ‘down time’. But be aware like everything in Florida – You will get wet. (in case you are interested Alan won) The Swan and the Dolphin looked like nice hotels but had far to many people in suit’s in them, we got the boat back to MGM around 4pm.

We did a little more shopping and I finally got my ‘Princess’ PJ’s. We went to see The Muppets show I wasn’t too impressed with the 3D effect’s here. We used our Fast passes for Indiana Jones, Alan enjoyed this and I found it a bit boring. Dinner this evening was from a takeaway stand. I had Jacket Potato and Alan had one of those huge turkey legs’s. At 6.30pm we started queuing for Fantasmic to ensure we had a good seat. This was so boring just waiting – as it was the second show it took ages to empty the theatre from the first show. When we got in they tried to seat us to the left of centre but we snuck in to the Mickey Sorcerer section. This show is so good we were 6th row up and because of the direction of the wind we did get sprayed with water a little. Good job I had brought my Simba towel to keep the camera dry. When it had finished I got two Fantasmic pin’s, T-shirt and postcard.

We got the bus back to CBR and our Wedding album had arrived, yippee. Alan went to get drinkies at the food court and we settled down for the night.

Next:- Epcot, Beaches and Cream & the Illumination’s Cruise
