MGM Strategy for arriving mid-afternoon?

[marriedmarylander]

I'm just wondering if we can get fast passes later in the afternoon. On Monday May we are going to go to MGM our first day. Due to flight times we won't get to MGM until around 2/3 or so (plane lands at 12:30). We would like to see the new Stunt Show which I think has Fast Pass? How does a show have fast pass? Anyhow, will fast passes be available later in the afternoon?

Also we have H&V ressie at 4PM for Fantasmic dinner package too.

Any other strategies/plans as far as what order to do stuff in? We want to do ToT, RnRC, Stunt Show, Fantasmic, Star Tours, Millionaire and maybe a few other things we can fit in.

My parents saw the stunt show last month. They said the theater is HUGE, like the fantasmic one. They went in the stand by line about 45 minutes before it started. They called me 10 min before it started (I was waiting for dh and ds to get off Rock n Roller.) They said people were still filling in the theater and there was still pretty many seats.

Yes, there was a fast pass for this show. Works the same way as the Indiana Jones fast pass and the millionaire. For any attraction/show that has fast pass, they have X number of passes per time period per day. Once all the times are taken, they close the fast pass machine.

As far as fitting all that into an afternoon/evening plus dinner and fantasmic, I'd say pick which is the most important and try to do as much as you can in the time you have.

AllEarsNet has an afternoon touring plan for the Studios that might be helpful. I'm not sure whether you'll need FASTPASSes for the Stunt Show, as the theater seats around 5,000 people and it's rarely filled to capacity. Your FASTPASS might be better used on ToT or RnRC.

You can only use one FastPass per visit? I can't get a FastPass for ToT, RnRC, and the Stunt Show?

When you get a fast pass it will give you a time frame to use it. Once that time frame starts you can get another fast pass for another ride. Hope that helps.
