Saturday, 4-15-00.
I was really excited. We were going to MGM studios! I didn't eat breakfast because I woke up late. I remember I kept Ben's walkman and I brought it with me on this trip. I remember I asked Aaron what he was going to do and who he was going to hang out with, and he said he was going to hang out with Joe's group, and I didn't feel like tagging along again. So on the line for fastpasses for the Tower of Terror I asked Spencer, Ben, Alex, and Evan if I could hang out with them.
We passed several fake car props and I took pictures. Yeah uhh here are Alex, Evan, Ben, and Spencer (left to right) getting hit by a taxi.
To kill time for the Tower of Terror we got on the Backstage Pass ride. The first part of the attraction involved getting two members, and Ben and Spencer got picked. Ben got about 400 gallons of water poured on his little ship thing, and Spencer looked really goofy while he was dodging torpedoes. I took a picture.
The next part of the attraction involved a tram ride of sorts, which was pretty neat. I took a really funny picture of Alex and Evan looking scared at the fire, haha.After that we tried to find our way back to the Tower of Terror, but got lost in the animation studio. There was mean and bitchy woman who wouldn't let us pass through one of the exits -.- We were going to complain about her, but we didn't. We finally went to the Tower of Terror-- the ride was okay, but it was too short. After that we got fastpasses for the Aerosmith Rockin' Roller Coaster, although our passes were for sometime in the Afternoon. We decided to eat and check in-- I don't remember what came first. We ate at a really good restuarant, with a meal ticket again, since Alex had one extra and he wasn't going to use it. I got a Roast Beef sandwich, a sprite, and a chocolate cream cake. The food was great. If the weather outside was too hot, it was definately too cold in the restuarant. We had some time to kill, so we waited outside of the Doug Live attraction. Spencer fell asleep, and some people were laughing at him. I had my walkman on, and was falling asleep myself. This Doug Live thing was based on the Disney/ABC Doug show though... I only watched the Nickolodeon one. Anyhow, Alex had on a Fruit by the Foot wrapper around his head to emulate Quailman. He didn't even get picked as an extra! Instead they picked a little black girl o_O 
After that we took some pictures outside with the Christina Aguilera poster.
And after that, we waited around outside. It was 3:30, the start of the Mulan parade. We waited around, and I even got a free fan.
The funny thing was the horses on Mulan's carriage relieved themselves, haha that was so funny. I took a picture. We then went on the Roller Coaster ride, which was hella fun, but short. After that we got more fastpasses for the ride. I also bought a new camera, as well as a magic towel.
After that we headed over to Star Tours, which was really similar to the one in Disneyland. The ride was pretty much how I remembered it. We were all screaming though. After we went to a gun stand, and two goofy things happened: Ben knocked over some of the guns, and Spencer tripped. We checked in, and in the hot sun we saw a guy who resembled Justin Timberlake! After we went to the Great Movie Ride, and I remember in line Sheena bugged me if I used the condom she gave me yet ^_^;; The ride was pretty boring.
The funniest thing that happened during the day was probably the fact that a bird pooped on Spencer. Here's a picture of Evan pointing at the spot the bird hit.
Here's a picture of Evan pointing at Spencer's shirt and laughing. The stain isn't that big, but Spencer described it as "warm." Eww...
This last picture is of Alex, myself, and Ben pointing and laughing at the free shirt Spencer got when we told a staff member. It's so fruity!
We walked around a bit, and went on the Roller Coaster ride again. After that we were looking for a place to eat. We went to a restuarant near the Star Tours attraction, but it was closed. However, I did take this picture of Alex and Evan with one of the statues near there.
As we were leaving the area I remember that we took some weird-ass pictures with the statues of famous people in the media. Here I am fondling Oprah.
Here's Alex humping the Bill Cosby statue.So we walked around some more, ate, and I ordered the same thing from the same restuarant. We then went to the Fantasmik special-- the line was huge, and we attempted to get forward a bit. I took some pictures, although they didn't really come out well. After the special we went to the Awards Ceremony somewhere in the park. We were eagerly awaiting to hear whether we won. What I found funny was that a boy's choir won 1st place and the screaming sounded like a bunch of girls, LOL. When our division finally came up we found out we didn't even make third place -.- and there were only 5 bands. Disappointed, we left. But we had lots of school spirit left so we started yelling school shouts. I yelled stuff like "SEATOWN! YOU KNOW!" and "ASIAN PRIDE! YOU KNOW!" Haha it was so funny because there were groups that won that were all white. Not that I'm racist. (I love the diversity of Seattle, and my school, especially.) 
After that we waited around a little because Alex had to use the bathroom, and he got his thing stuck in his zipper. And we thought he was just taking a crap...
We went back to our hotel, and I remember there was this really funny-looking bus in the lot that said "Lamers." So I took a picture.I found out people were going to Oldtown to go go-carting. I asked the room next to me if I could go with them, so we went. We got a ride from Armand's mother as he was leaving Orlando that night. Even though Oldtown was just across the street ^_^; 
Everyone got there before us, and they were in line for the go-carts. Alex, Evan, and Ben got in line, while me and Spencer waited. We went around to the slingshot ride-- which looked HELLA scary, yet hella exciting and fun. I merely took pictures though. (-.- And for some reason Kit's didn't develop them because they thought they were blank pictures.) We went around and looked at the rides, and went back to the go-carts and we cheered for everyone that went bye. I remember cheering for Ms. Jenni and I took a picture. Then the next round of go-carts came, and we waved around money as if we were betting. We seemed to lose the other three, so Spencer and I went around to look at a few more rides (without riding them) and we ran across the street to the store to get stuff. It was a nice family business, and the stuff was fairly cheap. I bought a Sprite and a Nestea and Spencer bought a small license plate. It was around 11:50, so we headed back to the hotel to back in time for the 12 PM room check. I stayed in the neighboring room to watch a few minutes of SNL, then headed back into my room for the room check. I stayed outside on the balcony for the longest time listening to music, and I took a shower, then fell asleep on the floor.
