MGM, EMH ?'s

[vicb]

Has anyone done the evening extra magic hours at MGM? I saw the listing of what is open but wondering if regular park closing is 7pm does the park stay open until 10pm for the emh? Also if the only Fantasmic show is 7pm that night will it be a mob scene??

This will be the senario on our arrival day, we should be getting to the BC @ 3pm. Was thinking of a swim, quick dinner at BC then off to MGM. Thanks for any advice!

I'd be interested as well. We are arriving sunday evening around 6pm and MGM will be our only option with EMH happening that evening.

We tried Evening EMH at MGM back in May and with only one Fantasmic show just preceding EMH both ToT and RnR were jammed packed following Fantasmic. Wait for the GMR was exceedingly long, but I think it was because of a breakdown. IMHO there is not enough open during MGM's Evening EMH to make it worthwhile.

Hmmm, that was what I was kind of worried about. Do you think Fantasmic itself would be more crowded (= longer wait in your seat before the show) than on a non-emh night??

Can't really say, since we conciously got to Fantasmic early, we were looking forward to sitting down and relaxing for awhile since we had had a long day the day before and we wanted to sit towards the top of the stadium so we could get out early. Grabbed something to eat at a CS and took it in with us. Even so, by the time we got out in front of ToT and RnR, we could see the masses all headed to both of them.

When we were there insummer there were 2 fantasmic shows a night. I would have thought given the popularity and busyness [is that even a word?] of the parks the same may be the case at this time of year. one sure way to beat the crowds. No waiting on line and guaranteed seating is to book a fantasmic meal. {it doesn't cost anymore than the regular meal].. Hollywood and Vine. Mama melroses and Brown Derby all have the offer. Book as soon as you know when you'll be there though in case its busy as its limited numbers. Also we all loved EMH at MGM. Apart from the rides there's a lot going on musically at the hat and near Star wars. Our kids loved it
