2. What is your favourite attraction
3. what is your favourite part of the park
4. what do you think of the parade
5. Where do you or have you eaten and what do or did you think.

[mapman]

1. Where do you head first - Tower of Terror, hotly followed by Rock'n'Roller

2. What is your favourite attraction - Fantasmic - superb

3. what is your favourite part of the park - my favourite part was last December at the Osborne Lights, stunning. And to top it off, they played "So this is Christmas" by John Lennon - so emotional

4. what do you think of the parade - missed it - too busy doing Rock'n'Roller for the 5th time

5. Where do you or have you eaten and what do or did you think. - we ate somewhere but can't think where, too many things to do, so didn't concentrate too much on the food side

Really liked MGM - one bit that caught me was Little mermaid - didn't think I'd like it but it was great. I was nearly the "phone a stranger", missed it by 4 feet, mainly because I didn't have a clue what the ringing was for.

1. Where do you head first
Tower of Terror
2. What is your favourite attraction
Tower of Terror

Tower....oh hang on, better put something different . I'm going to go with the Osbourne lights too. Awesome!

4. what do you think of the parade
Haven't seen it yet.

We ate at the Brown Derby once. Very very nice food but not cheap. We've eaten at Hollywood and Vine a few times. We've done all three meals there and love the place. Good selection of food, prices not bad and the character meals are fun.

3) see 1 & 2 above

4) Have n't seen the parade yet - down on the list of things not to miss in 2003

Hi,

Yup, love MGM as well as the rest...

Head for Star Tours first, hoping for the ride update soon.

Fav attraction has to be Tower of Terrer.

Fav part probably around Indiana Jones or near Star Tours.

Parade, okay but didn't take too much notice of it.

Eats - backstage lot near Indiana Jones.

MGM is my favourite park!!

Head to ToT first, favourite attraction is a tie between ToT and Rock n' Roller coaster.

Fave bit of the park, erm, walking up to ToT!

Haven't seen the parade yet, will have to let you know.

Usually eat at the ABC commissary, foods okay, must try somewhere else this time.

We ate at the Sci Fi Dinner. The theming was great, especially the way the tables were styled as 60's cars! _Apart from that, we just snacked on burgers, hotdogs and ice-cream throughout the day! _

[BevS97]

I'm sure I'm on my own here, but I'm not that big a fan of MGM,  we always have a nice day here,   but no one thing really stands out as memorable - I think I would like to spend a day here without Katie as there are a lot of things that she wouldn't enjoy,  so we don't do them. (like RnR, ToT, Indiana Jones, Star Tours...  I haven't done any of them)

1. Where do you head first

Katie usually wants to see Bear, so that is top of the agenda, but depending on show times we probably don't go straight there.

2. What is your favourite attraction

I don't really have one - I quite like the backlot tour,  Katie loves Bear,  the animation studios were interesting,  Beauty and the Beast was good,  lots of good things but nothing really stands out as a favorite.

3. what is your favourite part of the park

The New York/London city Streets - I want to spend more time here next time and have a good look at all the details.

4. what do you think of the parade
we really enjoyed the Stars in their Cars parade - I took 100's of photo's as we had such a great viewing spot.

5. Where do you or have you eaten and what do or did you think.
We have eaten at Hollywood and Vine, 50's Prime Time, and Sci Fi cafe,   I think Sci Fi cafe was my favorite for a fun/different experience.  I loved the ambieance of the place.  I didn't like 50's Prime Time,  the food was ok, but I just didn't get into the whole 'mom' thing,  and Hollywood and Vine was fine but no better or worse than other character meals we've done.
We also grabbed some chicken fingers from an open-air food court place outside Fantasmic, and took them into the show area - they were very good.

[Pete the DISney nut]

1. Where do you head first
We mainly head for either ToT or Rock N Roller Coaster – excellent rides and everybody, sing along:  Waaalllkk this way!!
2. What is your favourite attraction
Have a soft spot for Muppet Vision 3D but if I had to pick one thing I must not miss, has to be fantasmic.
3. what is your favourite part of the park
Again, cannot pick one specific part, so I will say all of it! 4. what do you think of the parade
Excellent idea and very eyecatching.  Groovy music too
5. Where do you or have you eaten and what do or did you think.
We have eaten at (takes a deep breath) Brown Derby which is very nice indeed; pricy but worth that little bit of something special, Hollywood and Vine which is excellent fun and with it being an all you can eat affair, very good value for money and the character interaction is top notch, Mama Melroses which is very nice indeed; a welcome respite from the heat of the parks, as their AC is always up as high as they dare without it feeling too cold.

Pete

[Wendy]

My least favourite park but here goes.....

1. Where do you head first: Never have a plan so wherever the mood takes us!

2. What is your favourite attraction: The Great Movie Ride.

3. Where is your favourite part of the park: Don't have a favourite part. I used to like the main street (Hollywood Boulevard?) before they put the Sorceror's Hat in front of TGMR.

4. What do you think of the parade: Don't think much of the Stars and Cars parade but loved the old Mulan one.

5. Where do you or have you eaten and what do or did you think: Only ever snacked out in one of the eateries near the B & the B stageshow/TOT areas.

4. what do you think of the parade
I don't watch the parade...I do other rides while everyone else is busy gawking at Mickey :p:

5. Where do you or have you eaten and what do or did you think.
Brown Derby - The best!
Sci-Fi - Theme is better than the food
ABC Commissary - Best value in the studios

[Pete the DISney nut]

1. Where do you head first - ToT/RnRC - all depends on whatever takes our fancy!!

2. What is your favourite attraction - a toughie so I will include all 3 (Fantasmic, Great Movie Ride and ToT: all for the theming!)

3. what is your favourite part of the park - again a tough one but we really enjoy sitting beside Echo Lake (near the SS Down The Hatch)

4. what do you think of the parade - We LOVE this parade; it is totally in theme with the park; plus it was the first thing i videod when we were there last year, and I have to say the footage came out very well indeed. If anyone is watching it this year, you will love it.

5. Where do you or have you eaten and what do or did you think. We have eaten in the Brown derby (twice) - excellent food, if a little pricey, but this is a small gripe as the inside is very smart, Mama Melrsoes - our fave as the food is very reasonably priced IMHO and the service and the decor is very comfortable, H &V we have had the CB there and this is soooooo much fun - had a right good laugh in here, and the Sci Fi Dine In Theatre - clever design but I for one found it a little too dark - again, JMO - but the service more than made up for it.

2. Fave Attraction - Has to be FaNtAsMic!!! The highlight of my holiday was seeing this show - absolutely amazing!

4. The parade? - we loved this parade, the music, the cars and the characters all made it amazing (plus the weather was gorgeous and we got a super view :) which helped)

5. Where did we eat? - We ate at mama melrose for lunch and the menu was very small and didnt really contain anything we liked that much - also the service was terrible, so overall it was abit of a letdown :(

2. What is your favourite attraction
It used to be animation studio when they had ACTUAL artists working.... now its TOT..... def since it was improved

Hmmmm tricky as they are working on various parts.. used to be the walk into the new york street... so once its done would say that.... or round near millionaire.. just for the atmosphere


4. what do you think of the parade
Cant say as it started to rain so lasted about 4 minutes... previous parade was excellent.. going back 9 years
