This was our first visit to MGM this trip and we had an early dinner booked at Mama Melrose. We booked Mama Melrose and the Fantasmic package which included reserved seating for the show 8:00 Fantasmic show.
We ate at Mama Melrose last year as part of our Backstage Magic tour and really enjoyed hence our reservation. Our meal was just as good as last year.
Once we finished dinner we had about an hour before we needed to be seated in the Fantasmic theatre, so, as Muppets 3D is next door, we watched that.
It was then time to go over to Fantasmic theatre and upon showing our reserved seating tickets were allowed to enter via the backstage route. Fantasmic is probably the best Disney show at the moment and combines animation, live action, fireworks, puppets and just about every thing else you can think of, in to a 30 minute show.
After Fantasmic headed out of the theatre and in the direction of Star Tours. However, just as we were going past Indiana Jones we realised that they were still letting people in for the last show of the evening which was in about 5 minutes time. We went in and found a seat, amazed that it was so empty, only the middle blocks of seats were being used. We had never seen so few people in there! This show never changes!!!
After this we did go and ride Star Tours, then we also did The Great Movie Ride, The Magic of Disney Animation and the Tower of Terror.
By this time the park was almost closing so we decided to beat the crowds, get back on the bus and return to the hotel. It had been a long day!!
