We tried to have a bit of a lie in on that day but the overwhelming need for fresh air put a stop to it. The carpet was beginning to hum from the flood yesterday. Mrs BiGGy left a note for housekeeping to supply us with an air freshener. So, blower switched on, it was off to sizzlers and MGM.

Mrs BiGGy, DD and junior were excited about this park as it has their favourite rides -Tower of Terror and Rock'n'roller coaster. Fastpasses were used and the major rides were done quite quickly. The park wasn't that busy.

We all headed off to Muppets 3D. We enjoyed these shows as it was more interesting to watch mom ducking and diving at the things 'coming towards' her.

Mom, Mrs BiGGy and junior wanted to see Indiana Jones. BiGGy nd DD thought that they would try the Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carey. Mom and co enjoyed their epic adventure but BiGGy and DD weren't too impressed.

After that, BiGGy and mom went for a snack break(mom's backpack coming in handy again), whilst the rest went on Star Tours. They came off the ride laughing as they had been sat next to a star wars fan. He had given them a running commentry on which moons they had passed and how many ships had been destroyed.

Junior had a whale of a time in the star wars shop. BiGGy got a picture of him in a storm troopers helmet. Be a great on for the 18th birthday slideshow, thought his dad.

We settled down in a nice spot for the parade and had a rest.

We all enjoyed the Backlot tour last year so we went on this again.

It was dinner time so we headed off for the prime time cafe. Junior was quaking in his converse, as last year he was caught hiding his pickle under his cap. Thankfully this year, there wasn't any and it was just his brummie accent that caught the server's ear. She thought it was hilarious. To a shy teenager, it was pure hell.

It was dark when we finished so we went to see the Osbourne Family Lights. Out came BiGGy's famous bag of tricks. He had to have the right shutter speed and lense on of course! Mom had cleaned her memory card that morning and was ready to keep up with her son. BiGGy went ahead to get a good start. The lights were fantastic and made us fell really christmassy.

It had been a great day and the weather had been lovely. After a visit to package pickup (mom had to fill that void in her backpack), it was time to head back to the hotel.

We had left the blower on all day in our room, so when we opened the door, the blowback hit us quite hard. Housekeepings version af air freshener was to put some bounce tumble dry sheets in the air con. Mrs BiGGy wasn't happy so she made her way to reception. You could hear any projectiles being removed from the front desk. She was told to come back in an hour for an air freshener spray.

Over the past couple of days, mom and Mrs BiGGy had noticed that there were a few military men staying at the hotel. There was obviously a convention on. With both women having a soft spot for a man in uniform, hanging about on the balcony was the order of the night. Mom copped an eyeful of a nice naval officer heading for reception. Off she ran downstairs mumbling that she would get the air freshener.

BiGGy cleared off his memory card as tomorrow was Epcot and the Candlelight Processional.
 
Loving your reports still BiGGy! We loved the Prime Time Cafe. Did your son really hide a pickle under his cap before? What a great hiding place ;) LOL
 
Yes Miffy, he really hid the pckile under his cap. He wrapped it up in his serviette and put it under his baseball cap. It was hilarious. It looked like he had an extra tall head.
 

LOL, you have to admire his creativity BiGGy!!
 
always wondered do you walk around the Osbourne family lights or is it a tram ride?
 
You walk around the osborne family lights at MGM. It took us about three quaters of an hour to get round.. The lights were really impressive.

Hope this helps Disney Owl.
