Help Me with an Epcot Future World Touring Plan Please!

[cbg1027]

My next trip is coming up soon so I'm working on our touring plans.

It will be 2 twenty-something adults.

I have split Epcot in to 2 days. We will tour the WS on our arrival day, 12/12. We should be able to get to the park around 2. We have a 5:00 ADR at Restaurant Marrakesh for dinner, and then we will catch the CP at 8 and Illuminations at 9:30.

For our second day, which will be Thursday Dec 17, I thought we would stay mostly in Future World. We have a lunch ADR at San Angel Inn for 12:50 and dinner at Le Cellier at 7:05.

Here's what I'm thinking, please share your thoughts! The crowd calendar calls for a 5 that day. I was just there 3 weeks ago on a 4 day and there were barely lines for anything so I'm hoping for the same!

Go for RD, of course.
Test Track
Mission: Space
Get FP's for Soarin'
The Seas with Nemo
Turtle Talk
Hopefully FP return will be open for Soarin' so we can go before lunch in Mexico at 12:50
After lunch, ride Soarin' if we didn't before.
See Living with the Land
Circle of Life
Spaceship Earth
Club Cool - plan to try to pull the Beverly Trick on my friend.
Journey in to Imagination
Honey I Shrunk the Audience
Universe of Energy
Tour Innoventions if there is still time before our 7:05 Le Cellier ADR

Thanks!

Sounds workable to me.

My only suggestion is that you might want to be sure to hit the new Sum of All Thrills attraction in Innoventions. I'm thinking that we might head there right at Rope Drop on our Epcot day, since there are no Fast Passes for this attraction.

I also recommend Storm Struck in Innoventions if you have time for it.

I know it means more backtracking, but I would grab the Soarin' fast passes FIRST, then head over to the TT, Space side. But you're young and energetic, right!! Check the single rider line for TT, it can save time. During the second week of December, you should have no problem hitting all these in one day. Have fun!

You know the touring plan I've used in the past for Epcot had us just riding Soarin' first thing, then heading over to TT and MS.

I was trying to eliminate a little backtracking with this plan. When I was there 3 weeks ago, the FP's at Soarin' were for a return time of 3, when it was 2 pm! So I'm hoping for similar conditions since that day was a 4 on the crown calendar and this day will be a 5!

Thanks for the input guys!

I would try to get Sum of all Thrills in too. There are very few people at that attraction between 9 and 10, so you may want to grab your TT fastpasses first then head over there to take a ride. The line goes up rapidly after 10 am. We did it twice in a row last month, getting there about 920 on a Sunday, and had a blast with no wait.

Don't forget about single rider lines too as a possible alternative to TT fastpasses. Does Mission Space have a single rider line?

I agree....Thats what we do .... Soarin' fast pass run out a lot faster than TT or MS.... and the single rider line...We do that too! you get to skip the whole intro....and usually with out a wait, hop in a car (every time we did this my husband and I ended up in the same car)

Nope.

Test Track, Expedition Everest, and Rock n Roller Coaster are the only 3 attractions with single-rider lanes in the four theme parks.

I am always learning something new on these boards. What is Storm Struck?

Actually I might be using single rider lines for some things since I'm not sure whether or not my friend can come with me on all those rides. He's just going to decide when we get there I guess.

I'm pretty sure he won't be doing MS with me, and there's a small chance he might not even be able to handle TT. So I suppose he could run and get Soarin' FP's while I'm on the ride(s) if that's the case.

I'm actually not all that interested in Sum of All Thrills. I'd like to try it some time, but it's definitely at the bottom of my list for now.

This will also be a first trip for my friend, so I feel like I should show him the classics and absolute best the parks have to offer before venturing in to smaller attractions.

I learn something new on the DIS everyday too and I love it!
