I really don't understand why Disney decided to break it all up sperately into Monster Sound Stage and the Backstage Tour. Ever since its inception MGM was allways a FULL day park. That was even without ToT and RnR.

The third day of our vacation was Sept. 11th and, as we all know...the US was attacked by terrorists. It was such a surreal experience. The parks were closed; people from Ft. Wilderness joined us at POR; Disney suggested we just stay put. There was a driving sideways rain as Hurricane Gabrielle passed across Florida! We all just sat inside our rooms and watched TV as it poured outside. No airports were operating of course, and all rental cars were rented. It was pretty scary!

This was around 81-82. We got as hooked on cruising as we did on WDW. I think we took 2 or three more cruises on the Atlantic. There are a lot of great cruise lines today, but I haven't found one as good as Home Lines.
