Day Two: Disney-MGM Studios

Tuesday April 3, 2007:
Another early morning with DH & DD heading straight for the Tower of Terror while I picked up Fast Passes for the Rock-n-Roller Coaster. (Um...yeah...I'm sooo not into thrill rides so I had no problem being our FP runner. LOL) DH realized his cell phone was missing and DD had a bit of an upset tummy after ToT so she and I got a bite to eat and sat on a bench while DH retieved his phone from the car.
We encountered the nicest Cast Member! He was stationed at the corner of Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards (I'm so sorry that I didn't make note of his name. :( . He noticed DD's 1st timer button as we were entering and asked where she was headed first. The next time we walked by he asked her how she enjoyed her ride on ToT and offered advice for settling her upset stomach. When he saw us again he asked if she was feeling better and gave us Fast Passes for the Indiana Jones show. It was so nice that he remembered us and showed concern when there were thousands of guest in the park! :)
Once DH caught back up with us, we headed to the back of the park to pick up FPs for Lights, Motors, Action!, then went on Star Tours which was one of the rides we remembered from our previous visit in 1990. As we exited Star Tours we saw the High School Musical parade in progress and followed it to the area in front of the Sorcerer's Hat for the show. This was DD's highlight of the day and she actually got a better view of the show by following the parade than many of the kids sitting waiting for the parade to arrive. Of course she knew and sang along to all the songs!
After breaking for lunch at the Backlot Express it was time for the Lights, Motors, Action show! This was DH's highlight of the day. I guess it's a guy thing, though, because DD and I did find it interesting but didn't think it was a "must-see" and it took a big chunk of time out of our day. We missed the Stars and Motorcars parade that took place while we were watching this show.
By this time we all agreed that it was time to go back to our hotel for an afternoon break. We intentionally didn't spend any time on the Playhouse Disney stuff having no preschoolers in our group but I would have liked to have seen Sounds Dangerous and done the Great Movie Ride. Oh, well, I have an excuse to go back (and skip Lights, Motors, Action next time. LOL) As we made our way toward the exit we came upon Mulch, Sweat, and Shears performing and paused to enjoy a few songs.
After some rest and pool time, we returned to the park around 8:30pm. We still had unused FP's from that morning for the Rock-n-Roller Coaster so DH went on it by himself as DD declined after getting nauseous on ToT and I never intended to ride in the first place! I must note that we never had a problem all week using Fast Passes after the time indicated on them. Since there were two Fantasmic Shows we skipped the dinner packages and simply attended the second 10:00pm show getting in line around 9:20 or so. This was MY highlight of the day if not the whole week! Definitely a "must-see"!!! The special effect of the images on the water mist was just amazing! (But very difficult to photograph. LOL)
