Epcot Attraction suggestions

[tchrrx]

What is the best way to ride Soarin', Frozen, and Test Track? I don't mind doing TT single rider. Soarin' is a must- do, so I assume that should be my FP choice. How do I fit Frozen in without a huge wait time?

Soarin rope drop, then TT single rider, fp frozen

Also note that Soarin wait times are down compared to what they use to be due to the third theater being open now

Your only chance to ride FEA with a short wait, when you don't have a FP, is to hit it at rope drop. But even then, other guests with PPO ADRs will probably get to it before you. If your able to get a FP for FEA, I would highly recommend that you take it. Since the 3rd theater was added to Soarin' the waits aren't as bad as they used to be, especially if you go to it at rope drop.

Test Track single rider is an excellent option. Much shorter line and the way that attraction loads makes it very possible for at least some of your party to be loaded onto the same car.

Absolutely FP+ FEA. TT Single Rider is fine; Soarin' before 10AM is not a terrible wait. FEA is unreliable and has a tendency to break. TT closes in rain.

If you're unable to score a FEA FP+, don't give up all hope. DS and I are FL resident AP holders and we spent a day at the Food & Wine Festival a few weeks ago. It was a last minute decision to go and we didn't even bother looking to see what FPs were available until we actually made it on property at around 11 AM. We were waiting for a tram when DS noticed there was a FP for FEA at 3:05 available. Needless to say he jumped on it before it could disappear!

As others have said, get the FP+ for Frozen, ride Soarin' at rope drop, and then us the single rider line for Test Track, you should be golden!

We just returned from a trip. We ended up doing Frozen at rooe drop because we couldn't get a FP that worked well for us. It was approx a 30 min wait. We then went to Test Track. The posted wait time was 45 min, so we rode Mission Space, then went back to TT (now posted 30 min and was actually more like 20). Used a FP for Soarin later in the day.

Agree 100% with this as well.

I find soarin tends to have shorter lines than tt but you can ride everythign else in normal standby waits in the same time it takes to wait for frozen, try your best to get that fp.

I agree with the first post, which is exactly the way we did it last month. We hit Soarin at rope drop. We then went to Test Track and we had a fast pass for Frozen later in the day. It worked out very well that way.

We didn't do TT, but I decided to split the park into a day and a half. We had a FP for Soarin' and did the rest of the Land, Seas, and Imagination on arrival day with dinner at Coral Reef. Then I had an afternoon FP for Frozen a couple days later. We had a PPO breakfast at Akershus and got right in line for Frozen right around 8:50 - it was maybe 20 minutes? But then was up to 45 when we got off. Great ride, we all loved it, but the kids really wanted to do Soarin' again, so right around 9AM I was able to release that afternoon FP for 6 people and get another Soarin' for like 10:30 or so.

Hopefully that gives you some idea of FP availability and what you might be facing on the Frozen side at rope drop.

Another opportunity to ride Soarin is to wait until late night, when IllumiNations is going on. We did it (when EPCOT was open until 11:00pm for extra magic hours). We caught Soarin' right around 9:00pm, when the time was posted at 30 minutes. I think we got on in about 15. Not long after we got off and the fireworks were done, the line went back up to 45 minutes and then higher. I didn't see the same drop in times for TT or Frozen though...

I think you'll find that if you hit all three early, any combination of possibilities will work satisfactorily. A lot of it will probably be dictated by your ability, or lack thereof, to get FEA FP+. Here's how we did it...and keep in mind we did this on July 2nd or 3rd, which was barely a week or two after FEA first opened.

FP+ TT, we got to the park around 9:10am.
Brisk walk to Soarin'. Line was still short, maybe 10 minutes. Got off the ride around 9:45am
Brisk walk to FEA. Posted wait time was 70 minutes, but Lines app said 40 minute wait. 27 minutes later we were on the ride.

Done all 3 by 10:30am.

I've done all three without any FP+, so if you are able to book a FP for one of them, doing all three with minimal wait should be pretty easy. TT single rider moves pretty fast, so if you are fine with single rider, I would plan on that. If you can get a FP for Soarin', I would probably recommend Frozen right at rope drop, then TT single rider (a couple of times if the wait is super short), then your Soarin' FP. On a recent trip, we did Frozen at rope drop with about a 12 minute wait, then went over to Soarin' and rode twice with pretty much no wait, then two or three rides on TT using the single rider line. Got all of this done in the first hour and a half to two hours with no FPs (our FPs were for a different park later that afternoon). If they have all three theaters running, it seems like wait times for Soarin' are short for the first hour or so, so another option could be to try and get a FP for Frozen, then rope drop Soarin' and ride a couple of times before heading over to TT single rider.

Soarin rope drop, then TT single rider, fp frozen

Also note that Soarin wait times are down compared to what they use to be due to the third theater being open now

Another vote for what CAS239 said.
