Day 3 Monday, September 18, 2006
Woke up pretty early, the girls were still sleeping so I decide to go down to the pool and enjoy the spa with my coffee Boy that way relaxing, my feet were still slightly sore from the previous days walking I knew I was out of shape but didnt know how much I guess that is neither here nor there
Miss SMIG and I had plans to be in MGM when it opened, but my loving DH talked the girls into Typhoon Lagoon (they opened early that day) dont get me wrong, I love to go to the water park, I just dont like to spending half the day there when I can be enjoying MGM even if they had evening EMH
I did enjoy Typhoon Lagoon very much, Miss SMIG was hanging with DSF (DH) and she somehow hurt her chin still not sure how, she said she hit bottom.
I tried to swim with the sharks, but the water was just toooo cold for my blood, but Miss SMIG, HollyLynne and DH did.
I wanted to leave Typhoon Lagoon around 11 am that should be enough water for anyone, but of course it was past 12 when we finally started out. Now this really POd me. On the way out, I had been fighting with Holly of and on that morning, I grabbed my camera and somehow, after yelling at Miss SMIG for placing the wet flip flops in the bag with my camera, the camera slipped out of my hand.. it hit the ground, the lens popped out, and I screamed
But luck was on my side, I pooped the lens in, took some additional shoots and it was working wonderfully .
So we went back to the POR to shower and change then we left for MGM I love MGM, feel in love with it the last time when I was there in 1996.
Anyway, we catch the bus, and arrive at MGM, I walk in, then HollyLynne tells me that Miss SMIG card doesnt work, OHHHH BROTHER I thought to myself, Miss SMIG was giving a FastPass Card, great little card, I had to get one or two of them myself, between the girls all our cards had to be replaced at least once. Anyway, we went to Guest Relations and picked up Miss SMIGs birthday button, (I am not sure if I mentioned this already, but HollyLynne also wanted the buttons). From Guest Relations, we headed over to TOWER OF TERROR and AeroSmith we fast passed AeroSmith, and headed over to tower of terror. It was better than I remember, really it was. Then off to AeroSmith, now that is a great ride, we were able to fast pass both of the again, and we started wondering. Miss SMIG wanted to go to the Animation Studio, so we were off, it was really interesting and we all got to draw Donald Duck I must say mine came out the best (patting myself on the back).
After the Animation Studio, Holly wanted to see the Playhouse and Little Mermaid, so Miss SMIG and HollyLynne did that and DH and I went to see Beauty and the Beast it was so magical I love Beauty and the Beast, by the time we were done, we meet up with the girls and headed over the Hollywood and Vine, we got our picture taken by the Photopass girl infront of the hat, fountain and the Walt statue.
We got to Hollywood and Vine and had just a little wait, about 25 minutes even though we had arrived 20 minutes before our time. I really wasnt impressed with the food there, I thought it would have been a better buffet. Wasnt even excited about our server, I didnt feel she did her best, I had stated that it was Miss SMIGs birthday and they made a little announcement and gave her a cupcake, after she already eat about 2 pounds of ice cream.
We left Hollywood and Vine wondered through the shops a bite then it was time for Fantasmic That was a great show I enjoyed it very very much, I dont think anyone got picture of it, I took video.
Then we took our fastpasses and fast passed again, both Tower of Terror and AeroSmith, I love those rides we got photos taken in front of the tower and the guitar.
We didnt get to do much of anything else, even though we rode the rides at least 5-6 times each we were planning on going back, but that is another story .
Back on the bus we went, got back to the POR, another day ended Next Stop
