3pm EPCOT arrival. TT and Soarin??

[MNmom]

We are arriving on our first day and planning to head to EPCOT around 3pm. We would like to get a FP for soarin and then go to Living Seas. We would also like to get a ride on TT sometime and also go to Imagination and Innov.

We are going on Sunday Aug. 28th and EMH is over at MGM!!!

Do you think there will still be Fastpasses this late in the day??? We have until FW closes at 7pm so we are hoping to be able to do this.

I would hate to go all the way over there to find out that the FPs are all gone for soarin and TT. Any clue as to the crowds the end of August?

Is there anyway to find out the FP avail. from our resort?? Kinda crazy...I know

By August 28th you *might* be OK, but this past week there were days that Soarin' FP's were gone by 1pm or so, with TT close behind.

The only way to find out if FP's are still avail. for a certain ride is to enter the park & ask a CM. I doubt if the FP's for those 2 rides will still be avail. that late in the day. As you know, those 2 rides are the headliners for that park & thats where everyone heads as soon as the gates open. Hope you have good luck though.

We were there recently and FP's were gone for Soarin' at that time of day and there were over 2 hour waits in standby. At TT you might be able to get a FP. A lot depends on how much it has been broken down that day. It broke down twice while we were there. What we did at TT 3 times was do the single rider line. Our kids are 9 and up and have done the ride before so were not afraid to ride with others. Often we ended up in same cars only different rows. They tell you multiple times that you WILL be separated in some way so if you want to ride together this isn't an option. The line did move quickly (once the ride was fixed that is).

The LED screen at Pin central will tell you the wait times at all attractions and if FastPass is available. It is just past SSE and you can't miss it.

The popular rides like Soarin and TT would be open until 9 PM.

when we were there last week FP were gone by lunch time (definitely 1pm). I wouldn't waste my time at 3pm. Head over at opening one day.

Thanks so much for your info.

I am kinda bummed that we may not be able to do this. I am thinking we will still head over there and maybe end up spending some time at WS. We do have another morning planned for EPCOT. I was just hoping to take care of most of FW during this time.

Thanks also for the info on the LED Screen. We will def. be looking out for that!!

I agree with everyone that you can pretty much forget FP for Soarin and TT that late in the day. You really need to get to Future World first thing in the morning if you want to do these. The stand-by lines for Soarin and TT last week were nuts shortly after park opening. On the other hand, Mission: Space was a walk on with little wait during our whole trip. You can also do other attractions like the Universe of Energy and Honey I Shrunk the Audience (which is really fun) with little wait.
