We often skip MGM on our trips to Disney. We just dont find that there is much to do there.
I've been going for a long time and have never seen Fantasmic
We just run out of things to do at MGM by 3:00 and can't figure out how to stretch it to fantasmic...or even to dinner time.
Have you tried letting it be a lazy morning around the resort and going to MGM after lunch?
Fantasmic is definitely my favorite of all the nighttime shows at WDW!
It's funny, I have to disagree with most of the posters. We love MGM. We spend at least 1-2 days at this park each year. We don't go on RNRC. AK is at the bottom of our list and only spend half a day in this park. I know I will probably get flamed for this, but okay. I say to each his own. Everyone has their own opinions. That's the great thing about Disney, it appeals to everyone's very different tastes. I'm glad for the new Toy Story ride, I think we will enjoy it very much. It will be a great addition to one of our favorite parks.![]()
In the words of michael o grattan, vice president of the Disney-MGM Studios, 2008 will be 'the year of the studios!'
And i believe that this is very true.
Firstly the name change. Disney's Hollywood Studios. This will bring a new lease of life to the studios and go right to the core of what the studios park really means, as 'the hollywood that never was but always will be'.
Secondly, the new Toy Story Mania in the new land Pixar Place. This is sure to be a great addition. An interactive, always changing, 3D ride with all the favorite characters. With the release of Toy Story 3 in theatres come 2010, Toy Story Mania will be a welcome addition to the park.
Thirdly, the new parade. Pixar's Block Party Bash straight from Disney's California Adventure is the most fun, entertaining, interactive parades that i have ever seen. For those that don't know, the streets will be filled with dancing performers, trampolinists, character performers from all of the pixar movies. Guests will have the opportunity to sit along the parade route or watch from one of the designated 'Party Zones'. In the Party Zones the parade will stop for 10 to 15 minutes and YOU will become part of the parade. YOU will be invited to get up and join the cast to party, dance, play, move, groove and interact with all of the pixar characters and the performers. This will bring a huge boost to the parks atmosphere and replace a much loved parade with another.
Lastly, a new show for the ABC theatre is currently in the works. Nothing can be revealed at present, but from what has been heard so far, the show will be worth the wait and extremely popular.
So there you have it. At least four massive changes coming to the Disney MGM Studios for 2008 alone. Management knows that things need to change. The plans for 2009 onwards are just as spectacular.
Does anyone know when the new Toy Story attraction ( is it going to be a ride?)will open? I would like to know more..hadn't heard about this. Also I have heard about a Jedi training attraction. Anyone know about that? thanks!
