What is first thing you do at mgm

[dreamergirl78]

Thanks to the OP for asking about MGM. How strict of a touring plan do you need if you do not do the big 2? (ToT/R&R)
I was assuming Star Tours would be our first stop and then I have a whole list of stuff to do after that. Is it necessary to follow a strict touring plan at MGM after you get the major attractions out of the way? It would be wonderful to take a break from commando touring for a day!
Thanks in advance!

FP for RNR, then ride TOT.

TOT! My! 4-year-old wants to ride this time

We grab Fastpasses for RnR and run over to TOT before the line gets long

Hi Mickeysaver Where is Commisary Lane and Al's Toy Barn I'm guessing CommisaryLane is somewhere near Backlot and I think Al's is over towards Lights Motor.. but a more definat4e answer would be appreciated!

It's easier to show you than to explain it. Check out this MAP of MGM over on Will Cad's website. Maggie

Now that our DD is a roller coaster junkie, we go straigt to RnR, either get in line if its not too long OR get a fastpass for it, sometimes BOTH!

Tower of Terror

We head straight to ToT and then to RRC. My mother and husband are both MGM junkies. What can I say? I guess my we're all MGM junkies.

We go to RnR and ToT We grab a FP for one and ride the other!

 

[tink1978]

We always hit Tower of Terror and RNR...that way we don't have to worry about fighting major crowds in the middle of the day.

 

[poohbear919]

Send my uncle to FP RnRC and que up for TOT... Then reverse! November will probably be the Great Movie Ride since it's the first time with a 5 year old!

 

[HOGFAN]

Great Movie Ride

 

[AKLRULZ]

FP for RNR and then hit TOT.

 

[bytheblood]

Get a fastpass for RnR and head to the Villian shop.

 

[minijeanie]

how funny we all do the same thing.

I find the wait is much longer for TOT, so we FP RNR first do TOT,, if no wait do RNR and then do agan with our FP"s

After that is great movie ride for sure.. and my favorite Lil Mermaid

 

[deekaypee]

ToT first, and second, and third....I'm a bit obsessed. Then I "settle down" into RnR and the Great Movie Ride.

There is a wonderful guy named Steve Soares that has a website that is updated either late Saturday or early Sunday morning each week. It's my source for character availablity and scheduling. Maggie

We usually FP RnR and then wait in line at ToT. If the FP for RnR is early enough, we get a FP to ToT (who can ride only once?) before heading to RnR.
