Yep, it's there! The "jello" is orange and green, so you can't miss it! There is so much fun stuff to look at and read in the preshow area that you just can't do it all and still see the preshow in just one time. Look for the Swinetrek model hanging from the ceiling, and read the clapboards & crates. I'm sure you won't be as crazy as me, but I stayed in there through 3 preshows on my second visit to MGM just to read everything!
BTW, I assume from your sig that you'll be staying in the SoG section of the the Contemporary, right? We just got back from there in December, and I just wanted to warn you that they're occupying the far half of the wing, and it's a pretty long walk back to the room from the concourse, bus stop, and Food & Fun Center. You may want to call ahead and request a room on the nearest end. If they can't give you that (and even if they can), look for the back entrance to the Food & Fun Center--it will shave a few minutes off your walk, which means a lot when you're carrying your mugs back and forth after a long day at the parks.
Don't get me wrong...the Contemporary is my favorite resort and although I didn't like the garden wing as much as the tower, I still really loved it. And here's a not-very-hidden mickey onsite: When you're on the monorail, look for a metal Mickey sitting on top of the building on the opposite side of the tower from the SoG wing. You can see him better from the Express monorail, but you can still see him from the resort one. Oh, and I almost forgot--the SoG side is very close to the walkway to the Magic Kingdom & that will get you there faster than the monorail in the morning.
I hope this isn't all old news to you...I didn't realize I was going to say all this until I typed it, and it's too late to do a thread search about it without losing everything I've typed. (My browser doesn't support multiple windows.)
I hope you have a great time! :sohappy: :wave:
