Day 21 ~ The One Where We Rock and Roll With Aerosmith
We were up at 7.45am, got showered and dressed and were out by 8.45am heading for MGM. We went to Tower of Terror first but there was a 20 minutes wait so we got fastpasses and went on to Rock and Rollercoaster instead. Rock and Rollercoaster said a 20 minute wait but we were straight through to the sound recording bit, then right through to the ride with only one group of people in front of us, brilliant, right?
Wrong! They went on but when it came to us we waited and waited and waited. They announced after about 15 minutes that they they were swapping over cars, they sent off about 12 with no-one in whilst we just waited forever. After about 25-30 minutes we finally got on, good job it was a good ride, we both loved it it goes so fast and its so cool with the music. After the ride it still wasnt time for our fastpass and we were quite hungry so we went over to Starring Rolls Cafe for some breakfast. It brought back good memories going there as the first time I went to WDW with Mum we visited MGM on our first morning and the first thing we did was get some breakfast from MGM, I even remember what we all had and how we sat on tables in front of the Brown Derby so excited that we were finally there. Anyway Nick got a latte and chocolate croissant and I got a cappuccino and apple turnover, they were both good and filling and we had fun people watching for 5 minutes.
We then went on Tower of Terror and this time we took Piggles on for his first ride, he was so excited but a little nervous too. The ride was brilliant and we managed to get a photo with Piggles which was funny, he loved the ride too, especially the view over to Blizzard Beach.
After the ride it was time for the first Beauty and the Beast show so we went a got a seat. Nick hadnt seen this show before as we didnt get chance to watch it last time, but whats even worse is that he has never seen Beauty and the Beast before, not once, Im sure thats not legal. The show was really good but not one of the best. The costumes are really bright and colorful and the ending is really good, so beautiful with all the sparkly pink.
We then went over to One Mans Dream as we hadnt done it before and were quite interested to see what it was. The walk through bit was really interesting, it was great seeing all the pictures and models and reading about how it all started, we spent quite a bit of time here admiring Walts work.
The film about Walts life was good too, I love finding out more about Walt and how it all began.
By this time we were thirsty and it was still a bit of time before the Indiana Jones that Nick desperately wanted to watch so we grabbed a chocolate milkshake and some cheetos and sat in the sun and listened to the end of the High School Musical show.
We then went over to the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, we were about 25 minutes early but the queue was very long. They were letting the fastpass queue in first and they never seemed to stop coming, they literally filled up 2 thirds of the theatre, this system doesnt seem the best as a lot of people queued for ages and never got in. The normal queue was really long too and they told us that we probably would have to stand even though we werent that far in the queue and there were loads of people behind. Luckily there were quite a few seats so we were ok. The show was really good, Nick really enjoyed it, he had missed it last time so was happy to finally see it. The bit at the end with the plane is really cool, its interesting to see how they do some of these stunts and make the movies.
Afterwards we had a quick look in shops, brought some souvenirs and gifts and then left MGM for the final time, I was very sad as I love it there so much, its definitely one of my favorites.
One last cute picture from MGM:
We went to Downtown Disney, it had started to rain when we were in MGM so we thought it might be really busy but it wasnt that bad. We had a $15 voucher for Planet Hollywood so we went there for lunch. We werent really hungry and had our meal at California Grill tonight so we ordered the Texas Tosdados starter as a main, a baked potato and a BBQ chicken sandwich all of which we shared.
Nick and Piggle's enjoying Planet Hollywood:
The food was surprisingly very good, we have always been disappointed by Planet Hollywood (the ones in London and Paris) but we made some good choices and it was really yummy.
We did some shopping and then went over to Fantasia mini-golf for our second free game. This course was good but not as good as Winter Summerland and we got stuck behind a family with 2 youngish girls so we had to keep waiting for them. What was cool though was they had a smallish lake next to the course and there was a really cute turtle floating about, I have never seen one in the wild before so it was really cool, actually I tell a lie they had one in the lake at Coronado Springs but none the lass it was pretty cool.
Some mini golf pictures:
