MegaCon 2016 Day 3

This morning I got up early and packed the family up ready to get back to hearth and home. We have one more day of the convention to go.

Yesterday was a bit of a blur as things fell one into another.

We started the morning by trying to get to the convention early only to find a long line of cars trying to do the same thing. Took a bit of doing, but we got parked and into the venue.

Peter signed a lot of books and we are three items from being sold out of everything. Caroline sold some drawing which she is hoping to do more of today.

I got to chat for a short time with Maurice LaMarche and do a quick catch up.

I did get the puppet to Billie Piper and she adores it. Her eyes just lit up when she sorted out that this was her puppet.

I did get to chat again briefly with Michelle Gomez and hatched a plot about the next puppet I will be getting to her.

I did get to take Caroline and her friend Em to the hotel so they could swim in the very nice set of swimming pools they have here at the resort. They rode the lazy river rapids and the waterslide multiple times.

We did get to a Disney Park. We went to Disney Hollywood whatever they are calling it this week studios.

We rode Star Tours and got a new piece that takes place on Jakku and then an older piece on Naboo. Came out of there grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

We stayed late enough to see the new Star Wars fireworks display. Wow! That was very impressive. I though creating a star field with fireworks was going to be the topper but the end got us all. Bravo whoever put that one together.

Oh and Muppet 3-D is not going anywhere at Disney Orlando. Refurbished is the buzz word so Jim’s last performance as Kermit on film is not going away.

I am grateful for the fact that I am going to be able to see Muppets 3-D again.
