Can we still get Epcot done?

[marriedmarylander]

If we went to Epcot in morning (future world), TL in afternoon, Epcot in evening (world showcase) and stay for EMH if we need/want to ride something again?

The only rides we want to do are Test Track, Mission Space, Soarin'. We'll see SpaceShip Earth, Honey I Shrunk audience if we have time.
The rest of the attractions seem like just walk around and look at stuff, not waiting in line for things. Also, where is the flower festival located? Is that just throughout the entire park or is there a certain area set up.

Also, if we only wanted to do those rides and four of them are open during evening EMH, do you think we should just go to the water park first at 10AM, then in the mid-afternoon head to epcot and do Soarin' (since not open at EMH) and walk around world showcase then go ride the rides during EMH?

I just think it might be too much trouble to go to a park and leave and come back.

soarin, mission to space, test track - are easy to do with the fast pass.

there is no fast pass for EMH.

so I would do everything you can during the day.

then come back at night to do what you missed or your favorite again.

don't miss the ride in Norway - it is cute!!!

the flower and garden is all over the park - but alot of it is in WS.

But you are limited to one fast pass at a time, right?
We are going in May so will lines be bad. Which one is a fastpass must?

I think you can do what you plan on doing. When you get in the park get a fastpass for MS or TT and ride the other. I've heard rumors that they were going to change the fastpass system and allow you to get one at a ride and then get another at another ride and not have to wait an hour or two (or whatever it is), that would be a great help to ya. I'm not sure if Soarin will be a fastpass ride. When that's up and running the line will surely be long. And everyone will be heading that way when the park opens every morning. The Flower and Garden Festival is taking place all over the park, you won't miss it. A break in the afternoon for some swimming and relaxing could come as a welcome relief on a Florida summer day. Don't write off Epcot as just a few rides though, there's so much to see.

I know there are more rides, but none that are must-sees for us. And we tend to power walk

I would say Mission to Space over Test Track - I would ride TT and get the fast pass for MS.

I think Soarin will be very, very popular. the new rides always are. So I think WDW will fast pass it quick. they definited fast pass MS quickly.

you might enjoy world of energy - it is show/ride.

if you get their early and immediate get your fast pass - unless the wait is 20 minutes or less -then get on the ride!

sometimes the wait is not as great as the signs say - I know in March alot of the rides say a 20 min wait and it wasn't even 10 minutes. there was even a 30 min wait for the one of the rides and it was 5 minutes - no I am not kidding... I would not have gotten in this ride - but the person I was with was demanding it - glad I did!!!

I think I would go to Epcot in the morning and see how much you like it and how crowded it is. If you get there early you can get alot of Future World completed - although I am sure in May as this is the start of the 50th Celebration - it will be really crowded (we are going down May 19 through 29. See how you feel and how much you got through. You might really enjoy it and not want to leave - or if it is really crowded and hot you might want to check out a water park. You might want to check that the water park is not closed. We have gone in the summer and during the height of the day, they close it because it is too crowded.

We also love just walking around Epcot and eating "Around the World". Eggrolls in China, lox in Norway, a turkey leg in America, coffee in Italy, pastries in France etc. There are movies in China, Japan and Canada, a show in America, a boat ride in Mexico and Norway, belly dancers in Moracco, a band like the Beatles in England and another one in Canada. The Flower and Garden show will also be going on so I am sure there will be alot to go through. Also, each night in America there is a outside concert with big name entertainment.

The best part of Epcot is IllumiNations, their nighttime fireworks show on the water at 9:00. We usually try to get a spot near the water at least 30 to 40 minutes before. As you can probably tell, Epcot is our favorite park. Whatever you do enjoy.

FYI, nothing official has been posted, but I can't believe that Soarin' would not be open for EMH once it officially opens and gets added to the schedule...

Thanks we are going in May.

I know Soarin won't be open for EMH but it will have FastPass - I guess this might be a ride to grab a fastpass for first even though it's on the other side of FW as the other main rides (TT, MS)
