Florida - Day 4

Disney MGM or Disney Hollywood as its now called - it was long day :)

We got to MGM early and wandered around until 5 pm - we have decided parks 1/2 days are a better idea as we were completely knackered when we got back :) - I am getting old.

We got to see the Indiana Jones - Epic Stunt Spectacular - although I missed the finale as Luke had to go pee - I wasn't bothered as I have seen it before. If you get to go to Florida though - go see this its ace. Its essentially a re-enactment of 3 scenes from the first movie (finding the Idol, fight scene in Cairo and getting on the German Plane where the bald headed guy gets ground into mince meat by the plane :)) on a live stage and they talk you through the stunt process. Its that good you get to feel the heat from the explosions you are that close! :)

Next on the agenda was Star Tours - a ride based on Star Wars :). This was a bit of a disappointment because the ride is very short and most of the interaction is new characters they created for the ride - PAH!. Essentially you board a star ship and fly through space - which eventually leads you to the battle over Endor from Return of the Jedi. This was the only real bit of star wars on the ride.

I attempt to go on The Twilight Zone - Tower of Terror, we got Fast Passes and got all the way into the ride - I went on with my nephews Nick and Harry. We had to leave before the actual ride as the intro movie before the ride freaked Nick out. The ride is shaped like a Hotel and you wander into various parts of the Hotel prior to the ride. We went into the "dark" and "creepy" study where they showed us the intro movie - and some dick who pretends to be a scary porter - not needed!!! When you actually get on the ride (have been on it before) it takes you up in a lift. When you reach the top - doors open revealing the whole park in front of you and then you plunge to the ground floor - quite scary :) So i was glad he bailed out :)

We also went on the Muppet 3D ride and saw various things wandering around the park which isn't worth talking about :)

Today was my birthday and I also got my PSP and a Baseball Cap and Shirt from the Florida Gators football team - the cap is ace as I don't wear one and its comfy and shaped differently from ones we get in the UK :) We also went out for a meal and I got a birthday cake:
