Saturday 5th May 2007


We woke up at about 8am this morning, because we planned to go to Disney's MGM Studios. We all got dressed, had our breakfast and set off.

We got to the park at 11.30am (my mum must have been going crazy inside - this was the middle of the day for her!). As we were trying to figure out where to go first, we were approached by a member of staff who asked if he could make us 'Honorary Citizens of Walt Disney World'? We said yes, and he asked which ride we'd like to go on first? Within minutes he'd walked us right to the front of the (1 hour) Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster ride... Rock on!

Mum and Keith LOVED this ride... NOT! They both got off cussing and cursing - saying they'd never do it again. Whilst they were moaning, we dragged them to the Hollywood Tower of Terror - by now, Keith was going as grey as his hair (he he).

After almost plummeting to his death on the Tower of Terror, we promised Keith that that was the last of the 'big' rides - it was only 12pm after all!

We wandered round the park, looking in shops, having our photos taken (well, I was) with the likes of Buzz Lightyear and Woody, when we decided to go our separate ways. The girls wanted to go and watch the Beauty and the Beast stage show and me and Keith wanted to go and see the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show. I'm glad we did - this show was amazing. We both loved it!

We'd arranged to meet the girls in the centre of the park, under Mickey Mouse's hat. As we were getting closer, I saw her... not Nikki - but Mary Poppins. Of course, I had to have my picture taken with her... so I did!

It was getting late now, and the kids (Mum and Keith) were getting tired. We promised them that once we'd watched the 'Fantasmic' show, we'd go home. I think they were glad we stayed because the show was superb. It was a great way to round off a great day!

Mary Poppins... what a gal!
