I like to travel mid September so things are far less crowded. If I was travelling during peak season, maybe I would do things a little differently. So far, we haven't had any problems trying to find a meal when we're hungry. I would like to do the dinner/Fantasmic, though. I'm not sure which restaurants participate. I have to go back through my info to find out exactly. Last time we just booked this the morning we visited MGM. No problem doing it that way at all.
