Day 24: St Louis to Orlando
June 19: Today, I head from St Louis to Orlando, Florida (via Chicago). Will try to go to Disney/MGM Studios in the afternoon if there's time. I have a feeling that I will run out of days to do everything I want to do in Orlando - including Sea World, Disney-MGM, Epcot and Magic Kingdom, as well as a day trip to the Kennedy Space Centre - but in the boiling heat, I'm told I will be over going to theme parks after four days - see how I hold out!?
Okay, so I had a few issues getting from the airport to my hotel, but thanks to Adge I am staying in a really nice place for the next few days.
Went to MGM-Disney Studios theme park but due to the lateness and crowds, I really didn't manage to see as much as I would have liked - including the 'Indiana Jones' stunt show and 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'. I did get to see the Great Movie Ride, 3D Muppet Vision, One Man's Dream, Backlot Tour, Star Wars events happening this weekend, Lights Camera Action show, and various Disney characters wandering about too.
I also discovered that it is currently rainy season - ie. thunderstorms occur every afternoon... and the night show was unfortunately called off.
