Epcot FP+ Strategy

[Tinker_Belle]

We haven't been to WDW in a few years and are looking forward to riding the new Frozen ride and meeting Elsa and Anna. That said, Soarin' is my favorite ride, and we usually go right at rope drop. My original plan for our next trip was to ride Soarin' at rope drop and FP the Frozen ride around 11. Then I realized that the wait time for Elsa and Anna would probably be very long if we didn't get there until then. Which do you think is better to FP?

I think it's sort of 6 of one and half dozen of the other if it's just those two (i.e. no TT). They're far apart from each other, so choose one for FP+ and rope drop the other. If you want to do Elsa and Anna M&G, then I'd probably do those first, then FP+ Soarin'. But if you do it the other way around, you'd be fine too.

Wait times for visiting Anna & Elsa aren’t what they were when the ladies were at the Magic Kingdom.

Thank you. We're planning to do lunch at Akershus, and I'd rather not go back and forth too much so I'm leaning toward Soarin' first. If we make it to Elsa and Anna around 10-10:30 (in the summer), do you think we'd be waiting an hour? (I have a 3-year-old)

We did Epcot this last Tuesday and rope dropped TT before heading over the stanby line for Soarin. I think we got in line at about 9:25 and our wait was only 18 minutes.

After that we piddled around Future World, then went to QS lunch at La Cantina in Mexico, then headed to the Ana & Elsa meet/greet. The posted wait time was 25 minutes, but I think we waited just a hair under 20 minutes.

Possible, but unlikely. Even on the busiest of days, their waits rarely exceed 30-45 minutes anymore.

Even in high crowds, the wait usually isn't more than a half an hour.
