We opted for Hollywood and Vine buffet before Fantasmic. Outstanding food! The grilled veggies and the green beans with garlic were enough to keep both of us occupied, but the grilled flank steak was tender and carved at the buffet for you. Plenty of chicken, pork and pasta if you wanted, as well as a huge dessert table. I liked that the dessert table made small individual tartlets and chocolate mousse, so you could try a little of each thing. Kids liked the menu as well pasta, chicken nuggets, meatballs, miniature hotdogs, etc. Waiter brought the kids bitrthday sundaes and a signed birthday card for each. Time after the dinner for a short walk, then over to Oscars, the gas station at the entrance to MGM Studios where we went through a back gate behind all the shops to a special entrance for Fantasmic. Were still early enough we didnt use the reserved seats off to one side, but copped a middle section, middle row view of all the action. Fantasmic has improved since our last trip and the dragon seemed bigger and better.
