Today is Monday 8/20. We have a 7:30 am PS for breakfast @ Chef Mickey's
We had no wait and were able to get our picture taken this time. For some reason we didn't get one last time we were there. Our waitress CM did not seem to be in a good mood. Oh well..we were!! We were visited by all the characters again this time, including Chef Mickey himself. Those CMs are the greatest.....very generous I thought. I have to say that Minnie just tugged at my heartstrings though. She was just too cute!! But they were all so lovable! Pluto licked DH's face...too bad I ran out of film..drats! The buffet, once again was delicious.
I honestly can't remember what we did right after breakfast. I'm sure my memory will be refreshed once I get our photos developed.
We got the Fantasmic! dinner package the day we arrived at our resort.
We headed over to MGM around 2:30. This seemed to be our favorite park since we spent the most time there. We shopped a bit and saw some attractions. Drew Carey's Sounds Dangerous was so-so in my opinion. But at least it was nice and cool in there, lol.
We had a 5:30 PS at Hollywood & Vine. We were hungry and took a chance at arriving at 4:30. We just had to wait about 10 or 15 minutes for a table. It was pretty good. We all found something we liked to eat and we had good table service. We took our time there.
We got our voucher for Fantasmic! and instructions on where and when to enter. We headed over just to see where it was located. There was no line or anything at 7:00. The show was to start at 8:30. We lingered in the area for a bit then headed in at 7:30. There were tons of people already seated in the walk-in area, but the PS area was empty. We got seats in the front row, nearest to the center of the stage. A few minutes later, it began to fill up. We were having great timing during this trip...barely ever having to wait for anything. Buses, the monorail..always seemed to appear just as we walked up to the area.
At 8:00..the lightening and thunder started. Then it started to sprinkle. We donned our ponchos...no worries...until it started to pour! We watched as the venue began to empty. We took family photos for people who were laughing hysterically at their rain soaked selves, lol. We were not budging unless the show was cancelled!! At 8:15 a CM was coming around asking people to leave and take shelter for safety's sake. He said the show was not cancelled though..Doh! We left, knowing that this mini storm was not about to end anytime soon. Reluctantly and sadly we departed and headed for the buses. This would be our last opportunity to see Fantasmic! this trip. Oh well..another reason to return!
Once again, luck was on our side and we were able to get on the 1st bus that arrived to take us to the Contemporary.

I was soooooo disapointed! We're hoping to catch it on our next trip with the dinner package!
