Is this possible?

Leave MGM at 9:15 or so (after Fantasmic)
Get to GF to eat dinner from 9:45-10:45
Go from GF to MK, transfer to a bus and get to Pop Century.

this would be on a day where MK closes at 10 and is the last park to close.

Gosh, that would be pretty close to miraculous if that timing worked out. I think you may be better off aiming for a less stressful plan.

 

[bsmcneil]

when would the buses from MK to resorts stop running if it closes at 10?

 

[bicker]

That's not the hard part of your plan -- rather getting from Fantasmic! to the Grand Floridian in a half-hour. That would be herculean.

That was my thought also!!! It will take you about 20 minutes to just exit Fantasmic! at the end of the show. Then, there will be hordes of people heading to the buses. So, that could be another 20 min wait at best, likely longer. I don't think you can get to the GF in 30 mins at the end of Fantasmic!

Maybe you could watch it from the bus stop

If memory serves, you could probably see at least the fireworks show as the GF busstop faces Sunset Blvd.

I too believe that your timeline will be impossible.

HORDES of people will be leaving the park the same time you do.

 

[bsmcneil]

could i get to GF by 9:45? (Fantasmic being 8:30-9). Then, we could take an hour or so to eat and still make it to MK/Pop

The only way would be by car. Using the busses it would not work.

 

[bicker]

I think you could plan on having reached the exit of D-MGM Studios by 9:45. That still leaves you 20-25 minutes before you could conceivably get into the restaurant, assuming you had someone in your party waiting in your car, near the theme park exit, waiting to take you.

Hate to have to say it.... But other posters are right.

Unless you have a helicopter at the front gate...I don't think you'll make GF...

Is it possible to change your meal to one in the BW area? (spoodles, yachtsman, BRG,or one of the swan/dolphin restaurants) That would be doable in your time frame but to get back to Pop you'd have to go to DTD and then back out to resort.

To get to BW you could walk or catch boat.
