Epcot and HS Rope Drop Questions

[Seoulbro]

Hi all,

We will be going to Disneyworld Aug. 14-21. We plan to take advantage of he early morning hours for Epcot, but Not HS. My questions are in regards to my touring plan, and they are:

1. On the 15th, we plan to attend HS. It opens at 9:00, we will be there at 8:00. It is a day where the EMM is scheduled, so I don't know if that is going to affect anything. Is it realistic to sign up my kids for Jedi training and hit Toy Story by 10:00am? Could I possibly squeeze 2 rides on Toy Story in that time?

2. On the 18th, Epcot has Early Morning Hours at 8:00am, we will be there by 7:15. Is it reasonable to think we could to Soarin and Test Track by 10:00am? Could we possibly squeeze in other rides during these 2 hours?

I am more concerned with the Jedi Training sign up more than Anything, and am open to any suggestions or tweaks.

Thanks!

It's hard to say how EMM will affect things at DHS, since EMM has not yet happened there. Reports from MK indicate that EMM disrupts nothing about RD, but there is no way to say for 100% certain what will happen at this time.

As far as Epcot, I think you'll absolutely be able to do Soarin' and TT before 10:00 if you are there for the Extra Magic Hour. You may even be able to do them both before 9:00 if you're among the first to ride whichever one you go to first.

Thank you! We plan on doing Test Track first seeing we will have done Soarin on the day we arrive.

And, as I should have said earlier...

1 I have heard the the EMM do not really effect crows since there is not a lot of people going to them

how ever TSMM get full very fast like if you are not at the front then you could have a 30 minute wait. so I think by the time you get there after doing the Jedi sign up you might be looking at a 30+ minute wait ( this is just my option)

2 I rode the last soarin 2x with in 30 minutes of park opening it was almost a walk on. that being said I think you should have no problems going and getting on fine if you do hit RD but by the time you do get off and walk over to TT you could be looking at 9:20- 9:30 and my guess is TT will be any where from 30 to 45 minute wait but it dose have a single rider line that should not be bad that time of day if you do not mind not riding with the person you came with. are you sure t is the extra magical hours that is free not the paid thing ( If it is the free one and you are staying on site then yes this would be doable and another ride maybe as long as it is not the FEA ride but I would still do that one if you do not have a FP for it as soon as you get off TT as the line will only get longer as the day goes on. but if you wanted to ride some ting else then sure
