DAY SEVEN- Saturday the 13th
We got up at about 8, got dressed and did our usual concierge breakfast. We then headed out to the bus stop one last time. (warning: I am one of the most sentimental people you will every encounter and will probably depress you before the day is over!)
sunrise from our room
We waited for about 5 minutes, and got on the MGM bus. We had 11:00 lunch reservations but there were still a couple things we wanted to do at MGM, so we went early. We get there and decide to take some more photo pass pictures. All the ones we had taken so far were pretty boring, so we told his one guy we wanted some fun ones, and he told us to do poses, and we he must have seriously taken about 15-20 pictures. After that I wished we had done fun pictures all along!
***I forgot to mention, this was the day of the Saints/eagles playoff game, and I am seriously a HUGE HUGE HUGE saints fan. I was born a saints fan. Growing up in NOLA it kinda just happens. I am also one of the most competitive people you will ever meet, and I have to get everything done I need to get done for Monday on Saturday b/c I watch football ALL DAY on Sunday. We run out of church so we can get home for the game. Is that sad? Ok. Just thought I would throw that in .it will help you understand me and my choice of t-shirt for this day haha****
ok back on track i will only post a few but there are tons more!
one of my favorites
We headed towards the hat and saw none other than chip and dale! We had not gotten any character pics except mike and sully and the ones from 1900 park fare, so I was really excited, and the line was not long at all! When we got up there I showed them my ring and they freaked out and played with my veil. It was really cute.
We then looked over to the other side and it was POOH! I told sickly we HAD to take our pics with this handsome fellow and he agreed, and that line was short, too. The lady said pooh was going inside in 5 min. and stitch was coming out. What the heck! I am a big kid and Im old school, I wanted to see pooh, not stitch! I freaked out hoping the kids In front of me would hurry, and we made it! Yay!
After that we headed towards Indiana jones. I LOVE Indiana jones stunt show, and we didnt get to see it the other day when we were here, there was just too much to do! We walked up towards it and there were people going in, and a cast member standing outside. And thats when we saw it .a sign it said Indian jones will not be showing today due to the dance/cheer competition WHAT?!?! I peeked in and saw a huge banner it was true! WHAT?!?! I was SO MAD! The cast member just kinda shrugged his shoulders. Uuuuuhhhh! Stupid cheerleaders and stupid dancers walking around everywhere with so much makeup on they could scare small children! (nothing against them I was just mad!) gggrrr .I was also annoyed that sickly was excited about it ..
***another side note***
sickly is a beast. After he played football all those years, he was supposed to play for the college we went to, Mississippi College, but had to have that surgery and so he became a cheerleader. (huge jump, I know) but since he is so freaking strong he was really good at it and cheered for 5 years in competions etc. him and his stunt partner missed being the top 25 by like 4 slots a couple years ago, and he had a hurt shoulder, so they would have made it. Some of the stuff he does scares the crap out of me for obvious reasons, and he is always trying to get me to stunt with him/teach me how. We do in the pool sometime sbut I refuse on hard groud. 1) I dont weight 87 pounds, 2.)scared of heights 3.) just not my thing. I ama volleyball/basketball player.
pretty impressive.
how many ppl do you know that can do this?
**sickly wanted to throw stunts for the photo pass people....I said a very firm NO...every day...for the whole trip...haha
So anyway, he would have loved to stay and watch, or better yet, find some girls he could toss around. Ug! I was appalled!
So we went to the honey I shrunk the kids playground. Fun! I had to get my picture taken. Me and my sis have a pic with both of us on this thing from like ..12 or so years ago, so I thought it would be sweet. *sniff sniff*
then we went to the stunt show. It started at 10:00 or 10:15, I forgot, but I thought surely it wont last more than 20 mintues and we would have plenty of time to make it to 50s. well .it lasted a long time ..we booked it over to 50s and got there at 11:15, and we walk fast! That was a long stunt show! We were seated within 5 minutes, and it just so happens we were at a table with poodle stuff everywhere. Figurines, pictures, etc. it was a perfect fit since we have a poodle and I love poodles! Sickly just rolled his eyes . But I got a pic of him with some poodle stuff!
Now I have been here before so I know all the tricks and games the waiters play on you, and when I went to the bathroom I made sure to remember what color the soap was, and when I got back I was asked if I washed my hands, and before he could say anything I said yes and it was blue! haha I ruined his joke. I was pleased. It was funny b/c both times I have been here my waiter has been .of the homosexual persuasion. Which is fine with me, but sickly has this thing about other men potentially looking at him/checking it out, so I got a kick out of it the whole time. Sickly was making some great faces and it was fun.
looking at desserts
I got a milkshake for my drink, big mistake! It filled me up it was so heavy, I hardly ate my food! But of course I got dessert
SO GOOD!
Our cousin also made another family get up and come to our table and say congratulations. It was funny. Well we didnt really have anything else we wanted to see in MGM so we headed for thed bus stop.
Coming up .stupid parents, I make a new friend, and the best night and dinner of the trip!

all sickly's friends laugh at me when i can quote who plays what position, their stats, etc. etc. and their coach sean payton lives about a mile from my house! (well, my parents house now I guess since i got married!) so it is just crazy! we love it! i was so upset this sunday I didnt know what to do with myself, nothing to watch!
We were in DTD and Epcot and saw some bride and groom ears in Epcot. 
It was our last night and after eating at Ohana's. Sorry to say, it is apparent that we will not be eating there again. It only lasted that night, thank god, because I do not think I could have handled him on a plane for two and a half hours.
Sad sad times.....I had to stop watching that game because it depressed me!!! I was so hoping they would make it!!
Meanwhile, the mother is wrestling, seriously, wresting with the youngest boy, who had just moments earlier run out in front of a bus and gave everyone quite a scare. The poor boy was obviously exhausted, and he was screaming/crying/throwing a tantrum. The mom screams at the boy, the dad screams at the boy, then the mom screams at the dad. In front of everyone! It was so tense everyone was just in shock. Then the dad would yell at the two boys in the stroller and they would cry and keep hitting each other.
