Up bright And early again and were standing up against the rope in Blizzard Beach waiting for it to drop at 8.45am. Two lifeguards were standing at the rope talking about a snake that had been in the lazy river the previous day and how 7 people swam past it without noticing before the lifeguard got it out. Made a mental note to look carefully in the lazy river.

When the rope dropped we were the first people to arrive at the wave pool so we got beds with an umbrella to give us some shade. Noticed they have added tubes to the wave pool, like it. Went for a bob about on a tube in the wave pool and then went to do some slides. Headed straight to the 3 flumes of to the left side of the park grabbed myself a tube and climbed the hundreds of stairs to the top. When I finally got there I was the only person there, apart from the CM’s. Went down the enclosed flume as this is my favourite after a quick chat with the CM. When I got to the bottom I decided to have another go seeing as it was so quiet. When I got back to the top there was still no-one around so had another chat with the CM and then went down again. Next I went to the Toboggan Racers and a couple turns here and then a turn on the Snow Stormer. From here I went to the lazy river and remembering the conversation from earlier I went on a tube that had the bottom covered. I figured if a snake went under me then it couldn’t bite me. I did ¾ of a circuit without seeing a snake and returned to Tricia at the lounger. She had got some doughnuts so I ate them and then listened to some music, I also fell asleep and got some sunburn on one arm. When I woke up I went back into the wave pool and jumped into a tube. After 40 minutes of bobbing up and down I started to feel sea sick so I got out and we decided to head back to the hotel. Only waited a few minutes for a bus.

Later on we went to MGM to see the parade, this one is one of my favourites and I prefer it to Share a Dream Come True. After the parade we went to see Millionaire and the man in the hot seat got to the $1million question. When he first got into the seat the host asked him who he was with he said he was on his own, his family were doing other attractions in the park. A voice shouted out from the crowd and he discovered his mother and sister were there too. It was so exciting and when he got the $250,000 correct (after taking advice from a complete stranger who guessed the answer) the whole place went wild. When he gave his answer to hit the $1million I was shaking with nerves for him so god only knows how he must have felt. Sadly he got it wrong but it had been so exciting and he seemed to have enjoyed himself.

After Millionaire we returned to the hotel. I wasn’t feeling too good, think I had too much sun at Blizzard Beach. We got something to eat at the hotel and I went to bed and watched some TV and drank loads of water. I felt better when I turned the light out at 11pm. No rain again today!!!
 
Great day :) We love Millionaire...never seen anyone get that far though!

I haven't actually seen them, I just happen to hear people talking about their encounters and I am paranoid about them.
