Thursday, 3:30-10:30 PM
We're packing up early to adventure out to Disney MGM Studios Theme Park for a day, literally, at the movies. For the first three hours of the day guests are free to enjoy the park and even dare to ride the Tower of Terror or the all new Rock-N-Roller Coaster. At 7:00 PM Disney movie magic will come to life in an entertainment spectacular of water projections, pyrotechnics and character performances with magical Disney music. Then, exclusively for guests of MCAA's Masonry Showcase, the party continues at the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. Here a special presentation of stunts and special effects is in store for our guests. Set in the deepest Mayan jungle, witness Indy defy the odds through infernos and booby-traps to retrieve the Golden Idol. A very unique dinner will be served amidst the Cairo Grand Celebration.
MASONRY SHOWCASE FAREWELL BANQUET
at Walt Disney World
Animal Kingdom
Saturday, 7:00 - 10:30 PM
After an incredible stay in Orlando, guests of the 2001 Masonry Showcase will enjoy an exclusive evening of adventure at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Upon entering guests will encounter the park's principal icon, the Tree of Life. Towering 145 feet high, images of 325 mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and insects are intricately carved into its trunk and branches. Inside the theater everyone will enjoy a private showing of "It's Tough to be a Bug", a humorous and exciting adventure in the miniature world of insects. Then it's on to Dinoland USA for a full meal and to experience a small town transformed into a research lab when dinosaur bones were discovered. At the Countdown to Extinction attraction guests can participate in the Dino Institute's latest experiment- a time machine. Take the journey back 65 million years through a primeval forest in a desperate race to save the last dinosaur from extinction. The last adventure of the evening will be a live performance of the Festival of the Lion King! This is an event you do not want to miss!
