Thur 11/8 - Another quick report, unfortunately my last (at least for this trip)....
Spent the entire day at MGM. Weather was perfect (high 70s F), as it had been the previous 2 days. MGM was fabulous, although the crowds were quite large. It didn't really slow us down much. We were still able to do "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" twice as well as most of the other attractions. The stadium for the Frantasmic finale was completely full to the brim, so that'll give you an idea of what the park was like. Tomorrow we head home
, but with some fantastic memories and wonderful pictures. 
Bottom line over the past four days.....
Weather was wonderful (high 70s F). I sure wouldn't want it much warmer, though. I don't see how people could do this when Orlando is in the upper 90s and humid.
Crowds were rather large...or maybe just larger than I expected them to be considering everything. Interesting how people who posted trip reports from the previous week said that the parks were empty, yet this week they seemed packed. Maybe it was "Jersey Week" or we had an unusually large contingent of European visitors. Either way, I was surprised. However, the crowds weren't so excessive that it stopped us from enjoying ourselves (Fastpass helps a lot there, and I commend Disney for providing that service). Maybe next week will be totally different (i.e., no crowds). By the looks of things this week, though, you sure couldn't tell there was any economic slowdown or concerns regarding terrorism.
Thanks to all of you who answered my questions in preparation for my trip.
Adieu !!
