Kocked and loaded

So I'm here at Disney World now...blogging from the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Spent most of the day at Disney-MGM Studios. Did the usuals...Tower of Terror (with a new drop sequence yet again!)...Rock 'n Roller Coaster...And made another stab at Millionaire. This was my fourth time trying the game between Florida and California Adventure. I had never made it into the Hot Seat...until this afternoon. :-)

Managed to get through the first ten questions without using any lifelines. Then, on the 64,000 point question I got hit with a question asking me what a "flivver" was. Burned the 50:50 and Ask the Audience lifelines on that one but made it through. The answer was an "old car." Then came the 125,000 point question...

"In the movie 'The Miracle of Morgan's Creek,' Betty Hutton played a character named Trudy what?"

Had no clue whatsoever even with the choices presented to me. I ended using my last lifeline: "Phone a Stranger." She didn't have a clue either. I ended up just going for it and guessing "Knickerbacker." I was wrong...it ended up being "Kockenlocker." Yes, that was a choice and that was the correct answer. Still, it was a lot of fun. I ended up walking away with a bunch of pins, a "Millionaire" cap, and a "Millionaire" polo shirt. Definitely the higlight of my day!

New experience comes tomorrow..."Mission: Space." Mmmm...centrifuge...
