Our Disney trip, wednesday, day 5

[jim22046]

Wednesday we headed over to MGM to spend the day. First place we went was the Animation Gallery to purchase the 100 Years of Magic cell they were doing. Our timing was perfect because the artists (all 5) who were the artists on this cell were there for only 2 hours that one day to sign them. This really made our day and we got to see the same artist we have purchased them from for the last few years. Went from there to one of our favorite shows, Beauty & the Beast. Snacked on some McDonald’s fries and headed over to Indiana Jones. Saw the show and went through the Backlot Tour, and then on to the Great Movie Ride. We found a spot to see the new afternoon parade which we had not seen. I went on the Tower of Terror, but had to go alone. Frances does not like this ride. The park was closing early that day for the Castmember=s party, so we decided to take a Friendship Boat over to Epcot. Had to stop at the stand in front of the Rose & Crown for some fish & chips. This is a great place to get them. Since we did not see the Illuminations very well on Tuesday ,I wanted to stay and see them again from a better spot. We camped out in front of Canada on one of the benches and had a perfect view. I was able to take some video of the Illuminations. Afterwards we started the long walk out and caught the Monorail back to the contemporary. Riding the Monorail was neat since the monorail originated there so we had no problem getting a seat. When we got back since it was so close I went over to the fun & Food and filled our mugs. We planned Thursday and then went to bed.

HI! I like the fact that you seem to take such a relaxed method to your Disney vacation. I try to be relaxed when I go. However, it usually doesn't work. All the excitement gets to me.
