The Very Nimbus Diary of zorac, Day Three

Monday was our first day hitting the theme parks, so we made an early start to catch the boat to Disney/MGM studios. Plenty of fun was had, including the Tower of Terror - an excellent plummeting elevator experience, Rock'n'Roller Coaster - indoors, with a standing start and loops, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The latter is a highly authentic rendition of the original, albeit with a few twists - the entire audience plays along to decide who gets into the hot seat, and phone-a-friend is replaced by phone-a-complete-stranger. Due to not being first with the fastest finger, neither of us actually made the hot seat, but when the scoreboard came up at the end of the show, I had taken second place and hermorrine tenth - out of an audience of several hundred. Go us!

Later on, we caught the Indiana Jones stunt spectacular - which really was quite impressive (not least for the large moving sets). Dinner was at "Mom's Place" - with the waiters laying down the law: no elbows on the table, no dessert unless you finish your vegetables etc. The kids at the table next to ours were recruited to keep an eye on their elders - and were positively delighting in reporting misplaced elbows and the like to their waiter (goodness knows how long it'll be before their parents can get them to behave at the table again) - poor Grandma was fed some of her unfinished veggies. Oh, and the drinks had electric ice cubes :-)
