MGM July 7th closing @ 10?

[JeanneNY]

MGM's closing is listed as 10:00 p.m. There is a Fantasmic show @ 10:30. I want to try to see ILLUM. at EPCOT and then make it to MGM for Fantasmic. I think we could make it before 10:30 but I'm not sure about getting there by 10. Is the answer obvious, you can't go into the park after 10, but if you are already there you can take advantage of the 10:30 show?

Thanks,
Jeanne

Correct... The park closes at 10pm so in order to see the 10:30 Fantasmic you would need to be in the park prior to 10pm... However if you are planning on cutting it right down to the wire you probably won't get a good spot for Fantasmic if you can get in at all as there is always a considerable wait for it and it usually fills to capacity...

This time of year many times you'll need to get seats for Fantasmic 90 minutes early-- at most 30-40 minutes early. I'd try to arrange to see it another day.

We are going to attemp this very same thing on the same day you are talking about!

It should be possible if you view Illuminations from the bridge by the international gateway. As soon as the show finishes, about 9:25pm quickley start the walk to MGM. Don't attempt to take the boat, everyone else will be on it.

We will cut through the Boardwalk to get to the path to MGM. You should be able to make it before 10pm, but you'll have to move at a good pace.

Seats at Fantasmic are another story, but that's a chance you take. Generally the second show will be the least crowded. I wouldn't do it if you don't have to, but we have friends coming down and they will only be visiting for 2 day's.

Good Luck!
