Day 6,
Today is Disney-MGM day. As we have 5:30 pm adr's at
Coral Reef, I warned my parents, no mid day break, as we have allot to do today
as this would be our last day at this park.
I didn’t bother using the
alarm clock while here, which was a good thing, since the clock is blinking,
meaning there was a power failure overnight.
I wonder how many people will be late this morning.
First thing to do is the Back
lot tour. Since we are a wheel chair
party, we go to the front of the tram. I
entered first, since you know the warning?
People on the right side, will get slightly wet, people on the left will
get wet, so I went first. Funny thing
happened when I slid all the way over to the left, I
kept going and fell into the side step.
I caught myself, but slightly hurt my wrist and shoulder. I think I made the driver and my mother, in
that order, more nervous then I was when this happened, but assured everyone I
was ok.
After the back lot tour, I
wanted to do a photo op with the singing in the rain umbrella. After figuring out how to operate it, there
is a sensor in the pavement that I guess you need to step on for the water to
start, but it didn’t work. So much for the photo op.
We then headed to Muppetvision 3D.
There are or were two special effects in Muppetvision
3d, water and bubbles. The bubbles
worked, but no water. Afterwards we went
into the gift shop as I wanted to get a pin or something with Sam Eagle saying
something patriotic for my father, but they don’t carry anything like that.
We had lunch at the ABC
Commissary. I had fish and chips, no
hamburger for lunch today.
After lunch, we went to the
Indiana Jones stunt spectacular. This is
the third time seeing this, but my parents haven’t so I did the show. While we were in the wheelchair row, someone
else sat down next to us, and since they didn’t have a reason to be in this
row, they were asked to leave. We saw
the complete show as I understand that sometimes they leave out the last scene
with the airplane.
After the show, we went all
the way to Rock N roller area for ice cream since that is the only place in
this park that has sugar free ice cream for my father. I started to catch up on my snack credits by
having a mickey bar and diet coke. I still felt the coke was a waste of a snack
credit, but it was close to the end of my trip and still had plenty of snack
credits to go.
We then went on Voyage of the
Little Mermaid. Since I have always
video taped this, I decided just to use a still photo camera instead.
We find the wheel chair area
for the
After the parade, we head
over to the Beauty and the Beast show.
Same as I remember, but the last time I saw this, they ended the show
with white pigeons being released, but not anymore.
After the show, we leave the
park and head to Epcot via ferry to International Gateway entrance.
We made good time there, and
got there before our adr called for, but checked in
early and were seated ok. We sat the
second tier up from the tank. While we
were there, lots of people were taking photos of the tank, even when there were
some divers in the tank. But everyone
was using their flash, which you cant do when photo
graphing something behind glass, cause the glass will reflect the flash.
I had shrimp for the appetizer,
NY Strip steak (see the pattern here yet? J
) and the
chocolate cake thing which is their specialty.
After dinner, we went on
Honey I shrunk the audience.
Headed back to Pop before
Illuminations starts. Actually I notice
we are on the bus right at 9. I have the
soundtrack from last year on my cell phone and very quietly start playing it
over the speaker from my cell phone, but either no one hears it or they just
think it is being piped through the bus.
