MGM 
We arrived at MGM, I went and got my birthday pin and then we were serenaded by a group of about 100 cheerleaders. Then we spent some time with the photo guys. They were so nice and so funny. :cheer
Side note – The new Disney’s Photo Pass system, is awesome. Some of the photos you see here, are from that (they have a Disney thing in the corner) Basically (for those of you who don’t know) They take your picture and give you a card. You can then use that card all over Disney, anywhere they take a picture, they just swipe it. Then instead of waiting in line at the end of each park, you log on when you get home (disneysphotopass.com) enter the id on the card and get to view all of your pictures. You cant right click, but you can purchase and take advantage of the print screen button on your keyboard. J
So we took plenty of pictures With them.
So we went over to Tower of Terror to get a fastpass and headed over to the Great Movie Ride. (I love this ride) So we waited about 10 min and got on the ride, we had AN AWESOME Tour guide named Dan. So through the whole ride, we were somewhat obnoxious. And went Dan left during the gangster scene, we were devastated and we helped Dan out by telling him to duck and then begging him not to leave. But he left and was replaced by Mugsy. The worst actor I’ve ever seen. He literally just sat there and mumbled through the script. He was AWFUL. So we get to the Indiana jones part and when he goes up to grab the jewels, we tell him not to and were yelling, and then he turns into a skeleton and we’re cheering, and Dan comes back and we started chanting “Dan dan hes our man, if he cant do it no one can, gooooooo Dan!!” over and over. And hes laughing and he gets back on and thanks us for the welcome and we continue the tour. At the end of the tour a CM presents me with a Hollywood land happy birthday card signed by the cast of the great movie ride. Very very cool. So we walk outside and there around the hat, are Mickey, Goofy, Minnie and Pluto, along with Lilo and stitch across the way. So since my friend Kevin has HUGE crush on Minnie, and I have one on Goofy, we got in line. We got up there and Kevin started talking like mickey and told Minnie she should leave him and she acted all embarrassed and gave Kevin several kisses and we took a picture…
So we decide to do the muppets 3d as our fast pass isn’t ready yet, and of course we walked right in (its never busy…) And let me say, the muppets don’t get enough credit. I LOVE that show!
So we go ride Tower of Terror. (fantastic, as always) And go get a fastpass for Rockin Roller Coaster. And go to….*sigh* The Voyage of the Little Mermaid. We didn’t wait, but in the wait room. And on top of the boxes me and my friends decided to serenade the crowd with some songs. So we sang Part of your World and A Pirates life for me. Now imagine 3 guys (2 who have no sense of pitch) and 1 guy who can sing, but doesn’t know the words and 2 girls who can sing well. Singing Part of your world. We had everyone in there rolling. So then we sang Pirates and everyone joined in…on the chorus. It was awesome. Then some other girls, who were actually IN a chorus got up there and were gonna sing some Disney songs. But every song they sang they didn’t know the words. But we did! So we helped them out and everyone was excited and it was time for The little mermaid. Now. As an adult, I understand that this show is a cut and chopped version of the movie. And sometimes the ariel playing her doesn’t quite live up to my high expectations of Jodie Benson. But needless to say, I cried through the whole thing. Yeah…. Lol
So we are walking back up front to ride Rockin Roller Coaster, and a CM notices my shirt and tells us there is no wait to go see sorceror mickey… So of course we go see him!
And my friends told him it was my birthday, and he went NUTS! And kissed me like 8 times, all over my face. Kept hugging me and then posed for pictures, sigend my book. And joked around some more. I asked Mickey if Yen Sid knew he had his hat… and mickey got all secretive and made a Shhhh motion on his mouth. Very cute.
So we go to Rockin Roller Coaster and we find it broken. L And has been broken for the past hour, and they have MECHANICS in there fixing it. So we waited around for about 10 min. Taking some pics with the photographer there.
And finally decide to leave…
So we get on the bus to… Epcot!
