Life is such a sweet insanity.
I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.Wednesday, February 23, 2005
Disney-MGM Studios
Earl and I spent the day at Disney-MGM Studios. Following the cue of the other parks, we decided to approach the day with a relaxed, casual pace. More importantly, I got to play "ham" in not one, but two shows!
We started off the day at the Indiana Jones Adventure, where there's a huge effects show with 10 or so extras chosen from the audience. I was one of the extras, dressed up in my Middle Eastern outfit and following the directions of the assistant director.
I also got to hit the stage for the back lot tour, where I was one of the four extras that gets to play on a ship that's being bombed by airplanes. I was head to toe in waterproof gear for this one, playing the captain of the ship with three directions - look through the binoculars, spin the wheel and use the telephone. All while the ship is getting bombed and we're getting soaked. It was loads of fun.
We took a little lunch break at the Hollywood Brown Derby and then went to a couple of other attractions, including "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: Play It!". Earl and I didn't do well, we didn't make the scoreboard. There were two contestants in the hot seat, a 13-year old girl who made it to 16,000 and a 16-year old boy who made it to 32,000. Both were brilliant!
For supper we headed to Spoodles on Disney's Boardwalk. Spoodles features Mediterranean food and tasty sangrias. After supper, we walked all the way around the Boardwalk and the Beach and Yacht Club resorts.
Another wonderful day at Disney! Tomorrow it's Animal Kingdom.
