Can I rope drop Soarin and Test Track in one hour?

This happened to us during an EMH morning in July. We decided to just commit and wait because it could've been our only chance to ride that trip. The line built very quickly, as you said, and we were glad we had waited as we were toward the front. It ended up opening about 25 minutes late. We then went over to Soarin. So, to answer the OP, if this happens to you you won't be done by 10:00 with all three. But I would still do Test Track first. We had no desire to ride single rider and we knew that Soarin would take longer to build a line.

I was in a similar situation... towards the front of the line in a good spot but NO CLUE when it would open. I distinctly remember sitting there stressing about what to do. Bail? Wait? What if I’m here for an hour? The line behind kept building and building.

I think our wait was ultimately like 20-25 mins as well which turned out to be a pretty minor issue, but those few minutes debating “what is my best course of action” really nagged at me!

If you are doing standby, TT then Soarin.

It depends on the time of year. We rope dropped Epcot yesterday. We were off Soarin' at 9:17 (entered the queue at 9:04 for reference). By 9:17, the standby line was 105 minutes!

In April, we went directly to TT at rope drop. We were the first group to enter the queue. We arrived at Soarin' at 9:20. The posted wait was 20 minutes. We were done by 9:45.

If you want to do both, I would go to TT first.

Thank you! We will be there in mid-April and I'm crossing my fingers our experience is similar to your last April visit!

We do TT first and then Soarin in this situation. Being at Rope Drop is critical - so if you aren't packed and really ready to leave your room by 8ish for a 9am open - don't get your hopes up. (Assuming that your Bon Voyage is on your actual last day, not just last park day..if it's just last park day - get those butts up and out early!)

On our last trip - we actually road TT twice in a row without getting off and then went to Soarin at 9:20ish with a 17 minute wait. This still feels like it involved some pixie dust so don't count on it!

Thank you for the tip...we will make sure we are ready and waiting at the bus stop by 8am!
