Epcot early entry plan

[leebee]

I'm a solo traveler and will hit Epcot at early entry as I'm staying onsite. I don't ride thrill rides- TestTrak is my limit and I can take or leave it, so Guardians isn't of any interest, and Remy makes me motion sick. If I'm there at early entry, would you do Frozen Ever After first and THEN Soarin' or start with Soarin' and hustle over to FEA?

I would do Frozen and then Soarin

I would do Frozen first and then go over to Soarin. We were there in May and did the early entry. We went to Remy first and then tried to go to Frozen after and there was a very long line, so we went to Soarin and got right on the ride.

Agree with the other posters. FEA first. Then Soarin'. You might even be able to do Soarin' twice without much of a wait, depending on how fast you hoof it over there.

Frozen is basically walk on with EE. If you want to ride it 2x in a row, it’s a very small wait.

Is it hard to park a stroller near FEA? I'm assuming the stroller parking delay isn't a big deal if it's possible to ride twice during EE.

I would definitely do FEA first.
These days Soarin generally seems to have a semi low wait time all throughout the day compared to Frozen.

Thanks, everyone! Frozen it is!!

Don't forget Living With The Land after you do Soarin'! One of our favorites! @leebee, have you tried the crepes at France yet? The sweet ones at the window are yummy! Make sure you have wet wipes as you will end up sticky before you even take a bite LOL. Our DIL got some kind of a pumpkin cookie at Germany last trip and we made her share it with us.

Have fun!

@MICKIMINI Living with the Land is one of my favorite attractions at Disney! I'm very excited about this solo trip. I get motion sick, can't do screens, and big drops give me a migraine, so when I travel with others I spend a LOT of time waiting in lines only to hit the chicken exit. I'd never ask anyone to skip the big attractions, so there are lots of little things I want to do- like explore the trails around the Tree of Life, do the less-thrilling things (Treehouse maybe?), or the things more geared to little kids that the grown ups in the family aren't interested in. Fortunately LwtL is a family favorite, so ride it every time! I haven't tried the crepes, as we're big fans of Les Halles, but I might this time... although it'll be Food and Wine, so all bets are off regarding food!

It's super easy to park a stroller. One of the biggest perks of Epcot is how spacious the park is. IMHO, it's by far the friendliest stroller, wheelchair, ev friendly park.

Thank you. I'm used to Disneyland, where it's not hard to park a stroller, but the 30 second delay in parking a stroller at EE rope drop can mean the difference between a 5 minute wait for Peter Pan or a 30 minute wait.

It sounds like it's thankfully not an issue at FEA!

You can do screens but are planning to ride Soarin?

This is exactly what I did when I had my first solo trip this past May. One day, spent it in Epcot for Flower and Garden show.

I arrived at the International Gateway entrance around 7:15am and was surprised that while some people were 'in line', it really wasn't a line...people continued to move up toward the front of the group without issue. The started scanning us in around 30 minutes before the official start of early entry. As I entered, I immediately headed to the left toward Canada - that's the shortest walk to Norway, and avoids fighting the Remy crowd (they all go to the right).

We were stopped by Canada, but I was literally ON the front line just waiting for the cast members to release us. As soon as it was go-time, I briskly walked around to Norway. There were folks entering World Showcase from the main entrance as well, but it really wasn't crowded. Being a solo, no need to worry about anyone in your party 'keeping up' with you. Just go...

Got to Norway and Frozen was practically a walk-on.
