Current FP return times - Epcot

[tjkraz]

This is a TOTALLY loaded question, so feel free to loft as many grenades at me as you wish.

We'll be arriving at WDW around noon on a Monday in May. Our first stop will be Epcot. Hoping to take advantage of DW's dose of Dramamine from the flight, our plan is to hit Mission Space as early as possible.

What I'm wondering is if anyone who has visited recently can give me ANY ballpark idea of the return times we might expect when getting a FastPass for M:S around 1pm in the afternoon. And I'm talking REALLY ballpark: 1 hour...3 hours...6 hours...whatever.

Thanks!

We just returned yesterday, and it really depends on how crowded the park is. I wouldn't be surprised at a time several hours later, and if it's very crowded, the fast passes may have all run out. If this happens, just wait until about 30 minutes till closing and get in line. The lines seemed to be at their shortest just before closing, and as long as you're in line one minute till closing, they will let you ride.

By the way, it is a really cool ride!!!

Hope that helps!

The regular line when we were there last week of FEB was always at about 30 - 45 minutes.

Our FP returns were often not more than 1 - 1.5 hrs from when we got them.

But the weather was awful when we were there and the crowds were low.

We were at EPCOT 2 days ago and all the fastpasses had been issued by 2 p.m. for the day.

I agree w/a prev. poster - you could always wait several more hours and hop in line at the end of the day. From what DH & DS said, Mission Space is hard to describe but very worth it!
