Epcot experts - Turtle Talk vs. The Seas w/ Nemo

[eastcoastgal]

It's been about 4 years since I've been to Epcot, so I can't really remember how The Seas and Turtle Talk work. If I remember correctly- they are very close to one another, possibly Turtle Talk right after The Seas?

We are there with a large group Columbus Day weekend. We'll be in the park early & I have the option for a FP+ for either one first thing in the morning.

Should I book one over the other? Any suggestions? I know they aren't too in demand compared to other Epcot attractions, but we have little ones that just love their Nemo & Crush

Thanks!

I can't help with the FP+ as when we last went, Nemo was a walk on, the line moving fast as its a continuous ride - and when it lets out, around that corner is the entry to Turtle Talk, again, I've read that you don't need a FP+ for TT due to the nature of the talk - -

hopefully someone with more recent experience can come long!

Either way, I've decided to not worry about lines (expect them) and maybe time how long we are actually in a line - if its longer than 30 min than I'm going to try and come up with a plan C (after using our FP+ that is!)

I don't think you need a fast pass for either. I certainly never used one.

Nemo is ride. Turtle talk is in a room and the turtle interacts with the guest.

Turtle talk is good for the younger crowd(kids) they talk to one another.

Thanks!

Do you suggest I make FP+ for Spaceship Earth then?

I have FP+ for Soarin' and Mission Space. It's the third one I'm hedging on.

I made the FP+ for Turtle Talk but I really don't think we will need one for either. We've always just walked onto Nemo and then into Turtle Talk (maybe a few minutes wait there for the previous group to end). I've seen other folks recommend Turtle Talk over Nemo so I went were their recommendation.

I would recommend FP+ for Spaceship Earth over both Nemo and TT. Spaceship Earth used to be a walk on just about anytime in the afternoon, but now with the Fastpass line it seems like there is always a considerable wait. When we were in Epcot in June, Nemo seemed to be readily available to select when we booked our 4th and 5th FP+ at the kiosks, so I think you would probably stand a pretty good chance of being able to get a FP for it once your initial 3 are done.

This. Since FP+ arrived, waits at Spaceship Earth have gone up quite a bit- like three times what they used to be. Over the summer it wasn't uncommon to see waits of 45 minutes or more- pretty unheard of for this ride previously. The waits may not be quite that bad when you go, OP, but I'd rather have the FP+ for this ride than the others.
