Day Three: Disney's MGM Studio

Whoo. What a tiring day. Today, we went to MGM. It, just like Universal, is much different than I remember. There was tons of stuff that looked exactly how I remember, but there's also some very different and new things.

They've added two new rides: Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster and The Hollywood Hotel Tower (of Terror). Both are what I would consider very uncharacteristic of MGM, but I would bet that they realized that Universal was taking some of their market share with their thrill ride park, "Islands of Adventures".

We rode the back lot tour and got to see some planes that they used from "Pearl Harbor". Pretty cool.

We ended the day at Brown Derby resturant. None of the other places to eat were still open at 9pm, so we had to take whatever we could find. It was a very upscale joint where Brian paid $25 for a piece of Filet Mignon the size of a silver dollar. That's exaggerating a bit, but it was pretty ridiculous. The food was great, but my entree' consisted of one(1) cheese ravioli, served in the middle of a large plate.

I've posted pictures from Day 1 (arriving here in Orlando) and now yesterday's adventure (Universal Studios). Today's adventure (MGM) should be up and running either later tonight or sometime tomorrow (Wednesday). I've decided that since FTP is working sporadically, I'm not going to post every single picture from each day, but rather just post the highlights of each day. That will give you all a good idea of what we did each day. Enjoy!

Tomorrow (Wednesday), we're heading to Epcot. Should be a lot of walking and tons of pictures. I've already some 170 pictures totalling over 48MB. Take care.
