Walt Disney World has four big parks that make up the resort and on day 6 we visited park #4, Disney-MGM Studios (it's rumored that it will be renamed Disney-Pixar studios with the recent acquisition). The park is focused around celebrating TV and movies and supposedly giving behind-the-scenes looks at movies. Honestly, I think we all know so much about the magic of the movies that the rides weren't all that interesting, but it was still an enjoyable day. In fact, on one of the rides the people behind us told us they had more fun watching Benjamin than watching the behind-the-scenes stuff. We also saw several stage shows, such as Beauty and the Beast and Voyage of the Little Mermaid, and I enjoyed those. And one of the best thrill rides in the four parks is at the Studios. Matthew didn't go on the Tower of Terror, but I think he missed out on a good thrill.
Although no rides at this park specifically aimed at Benjamin's demographic, they were having a special event with performances from preschool music groups. Earlier in the month the Wiggles were there, but we saw some group I had never heard of (Imagination Movers, maybe?). Given the hype of the Wiggles and other preschool music groups, I had expected Benji to get all excited at the concert. He was completely unimpressed. I was also completely unimpressed, so I don't know if Benji was too young or too smart to enjoy this concert.
Later that evening we had dinner at Mamma Melrose's, which we learned was originally supposed to be Muppet Movie themed but the deal fell through at the last minute. We were so spoiled by the excellent food and atmosphere at Epcot that personally I felt disappointed in what otherwise would have been a good meal. With such high expectations, I don't know what we'll do on our next trip to Disney World when we have to pay for meals and go back to eating fast food the whole trip.
Waiting for the parade to start.
Benji loves parades!
Who's the bigger celebrity, Benji or Lightning McQueen?
Benji says, "I'm done posing now. Time to move on."
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
