[MaxineDisney]

Hi,
This touring plan is for one day at Epcot on December 29th (crazy crowds) for me and dd age 15. EMH scheduled for 8-9 and Illuminations is at 10:30. Is this itinerary possible or are we expecting too much? Planning to get there at RD. We have done Disney before. If we see characters great but we are not waiting in line for them or using a FP for it. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

That's a lot of activities for a week the park will be very crowded. You may want to hit only your favorite countries. Also, I don't know if that is the best use of FP+'s, you may want to use one for Soarin. And I believe Ellen's Energy will be closed by then. Good luck.

Can't do that with the Frozen they already have, and that one has longer lines than Soaring.

first of all...8am till after 10pm is a pretty crazy day. Secondly, there is zero change of that working between Christmas and New Years. For example, an hour to do Soarin, Mission space and test track...even during EMH no way. An hour and a half to do figment, club cool and ellens energy adventure sounds like a lot but its really not since there will be a 40 minute wait for figment, ride the ride for like 8 minutes, then a walk to club cool, which will be packed, then a walk to ellens, which will have a wait and is a 45 minute ride....

Hi,
Thanks for the responses so far. We have actually done 8am til 10:30pm close before so that part does not worry me. My dd has a lot of stamina and so do I. I did not know Ellen's was closing? Is it just for refurbishment or permanently? Personally I would skip most of the rides and concentrate on countries but since dd wants rides, the showcase does not open til 11 and we both want Sunshine Seasons for lunch we are doing rides. We can skip the club cool if we are behind and if Ellen's is closed that will free up some time. Anyone else want to weigh in?

I've never been during the Holiday period, I am more thinking about your criss-crossing. In a busy period, I assume it will be more difficult to get quickly from A to B.
I would skip Turtle Talk as it's cute, but better if you have young kids with you who can interact with Crush. And as I absolutely cannot stand the Circle Of Life, I would definitely skip this one too. As you have been there before, I think it is possible, depending on how thoroughly you want to explore the countries and if you want to see the movies/American Adventure. If it's just checking the stores to see if there are new things, half an hour per country should be plenty of time.

I would go:
- Test Track
- Mission Space
- Soarin'
- Living with the Land (get an earlier FP if 11:30 is your start time)
- Explore the Seas
- Lunch at Sunshine Seasons
- Spaceship Earth (Change FP to earlier)
- Club Soda (If you must)
- Figment

If Ellen is still open:
- Ellen's energy adventure.
- Tour World Showcase clockwise
For Norway, if a miracle occurs, change FP to earlier
- If you are not set on dining in Morocco, I would just eat where you are around 4:00-4:30 for an early dinner.

If Ellen is closed:
- Tour World Showcase counter clockwise
