Posted on by Mike Scopa
Put your hands together because I actually got out of bed on this morning at around 5:30, put on my running gear and went out at 5:45 to run around the resort.

When you enter the building from the main entrance, the first thing you’ll notice is the statue of Mickey has been removed. I have no idea if this is temporary or permanent. Only time will tell.

Day 7 — The M-Day…MGM, Muppets, and Mama’s

Day 6 — From Pop to Port

Posted on by Mike Scopa
Well, the good news is that I woke up early enough on Friday to go out and run. The bad news is that I said to myself, “Let me close my eyes for just another 15 minutes.” We call that a “mistake.” Next thing I know its 6:47 and we have an 8:10 ADR at … Continue reading "Day 6 — From Pop to Port"
