Epcot FastPass Strategy - Soarin' First?

[marriedmarylander]

I'm going in May when Soarin will be open (or supposedly is open now).

Ir we got to the park at opening, should we get FastPass for Soarin then go ride MS and TT

or

get a FastPass for either MS or TT and then go ride Soarin?

Or just do MS and TT in the same area at once (utilizing FastPass) then go get FastPass for Soarin after?

I'm just wondering with it being new it might be popular and FastPass might run out for Soarin?

I noticed they are located on opposite sides of FW but that's not that far of a walk right?

Right now this attraction is in soft opening. Meaning it may not be running everyday or even all day.

I think the lines for this are going to be long. Personally, I think if you could get a "runner" to go get a TT or MS FP-- I'd have the rest of the group start heading to Soarin' at opening. The runner (being alone and a fast walker) should be able to meet up. I'd do Soarin' first because I think the lines are going to be quite long. That being said-- even first thing at opening the lines could build to 15, 20, 30 minutes quickly. So, I'd head straight there no detours to shops or characters.

Now, I'd have the runner get a FP for TT too. It seems to always have long lines. I have yet to see Mission Space (been 3 times since opening) have more than a 20 min wait and that was mid afternoon moderate season.

It will be interesting to see what others think.

Thanks.. I was actually wondering if one person could go with the FastPasses.. Just make sure to have the tickets to the park with them right

I agree head to Soarin. You might want to get a fast pass to Soarin first though. Trust me you will want to ride it again and they predict very long lines for Soarin.
