Can you look at my Epcot plan

[susanh]

Only my second time to Epcot and have never been to WS.
Going 8/23 and wonder if my rough itinerary seems realistic. I'm not typically a hyper-scheduler (or at all for that matter), but since I have booked a tour followed by an ADR, I want to make sure I have a rough estimate of a plan which allows limited backtracking. Do you think that if we head to Soarin' at RD that we will get through it followed by Living with the Land in time for our 10:30 Behind the Seeds tour (we have to check in by 10:15)? My kids are 5 & 7.

0900 rope drop
0915 Soarin'
0945 Living with the Land
1015 Check in for 1030 Behind the Seeds tour (lasts one hour)
1130 Snack, wander
1145 Nemo & friends
1215 Turtle Talk FP
1300 Mission Space FP
1345 Grand Fiesta Tour
1445 Biergarten

I would FP Soarin over Turtle Talk

I agree, Soarin definitely could use that fastpass more than Turtle Talk! It looks great though, have a wonderful time!

don't know if 30 min is enough time for soarin even at rope drop and after mission space I would jump on test track

One other suggestion - mission Space is across from most of your other places on yiur list, maybe do that last from your list before wandering over to WS and Biergarten

I think I am, at least from looking at a Map.

I was going to save my last fast pass for either repeating Soarin or riding Test track on the way out of Epcot after we finish WS. My main concern is getting through Soarin and LWTL by 10:15. I could scrap my RD Soarin idea and FP it later, but is it realistic to get in line and through it by 9:45?

Last time we were in Epcot, we tried to do Soarin at rope drop on what was supposedly a recommended day. My wife had a bad ankle so we were a little slow getting over there, but still got to the ride within 10 minutes, and ended up in a 90 minute wait. And, it was legitimite. You have to be extremely fast getting back there or your strategy will be blown up before it starts. In your case, with the 10:15 requirement for the Tour, I would go ahead and try to FP Soarin. You could even do it before, or wait until after. But, it's a safeguard against not getting through the ride as quickly as expected.

We headed to Soarin' right at rope drop in May and were out of there in plenty of time for our TT FP that started at 9:30. My wife and son were on the 10:30 Behind the Seeds tour that day. We were there early to get a good spot for rope drop (we eat breakfast and apply sunscreen while waiting) and walked at a decent pace to the Land Pavilion. i do think we were some of the last people to get on that time.

If you repeat Soarin your walking across the park from Mission and then almost walking back to enter WS and the side you should be on for Biergarten. Unless you can walk either at a very fast pace or even run to Soarin at rope drop 945 is a stretch. You can always do the seeds tour and then LWTL as that gives you an hour to get through Soarin

No I don't think it is realistic to be done Soarin by 9:45 in most circumstances
