Afternoons at MGM?

[Kapp]

We have always done the "get up early and be at the parks when they open"
plan but with our next visit in October (15-22) we are doing MNSSHP. We were wondering if we do this, how would it be to sleep in and do MGM in the afternoon? We have heard that MGM and AK both thin out in the afternoons and just wondering if this would work. Any and all advice GREATLY appreciated!

i do not know about in october but mgm is much busier in the afternoon/evening in off season( Jan.) they do not usually open fp till late morning , early afternoon and the only wait we ever had for tot was in the evening.

If you attend any of the shows and still want to do rides, you will need more time @ mgm than just an afternoon. I have never really noticed a slow down at that park in the afternoon.

If you plan on going on Coaster & Tower as well as seeing many of the shows, it's not a great strategy to employ. MGM may start to thin out around 2 or 3 but it fills right back up with Fantasmic! people.

I was surprised at how empty MGM was in July in the afternoons. I didn't notice it over packed. The only problem with arriving in the afternoon is that a lot of the shows end early. If you have more days to spend at MGM, you may want to do an afternoon and a morning to catch the shows.

Afternoons in MGM are the best because of the Streetmosphere performers! I love them and always try to catch them. They are usually on Sunset, but can be around different places (Generally on the hour or the half-hour). I love improv comedy and they are always so much fun.

This would just be such a change from our usual "hit the parks early" plans but with MNSSHP the night before, I am sure my DW will need some sleep!
