Epcot in p.m. of EE day?

[mickeymom629]

We'll be there next week!(yeah!) and the only night we may have to do Epcot is the evening that it will have been EE there. Is it going to be awful? Anyone there recently have an idea about that?

Getting a FASTPASS for Test Track might be tough, and the line for Living with the Land might be a little long, but you should be fine with most of the other shows and attractions. If the 4th is similar to Christmas last year, most of the theaters should be almost full, but you'll probably still be able to get a seat for the next performance of just about anything. I'd go.

Might want to consider a PS reservation for dinner now, though: The number is (407) WDW-DINE.

Sincerely,

Len

I had forgotten about the fastpass problem, but I warned my family that we may do the single line instead this trip so that we may get in faster.

I mainly want to see the fiddler in the pavillion across from America. He starts on 7/l which we are doing enight and we check out on 7/3, so that only leaves 7/2 which is ee morning there.

What do you think of this idea: on 7/l drive to MK at 4:00 to get wristbands for enight. Monorail to Epcot to do a few things and to see the fiddler. MK closes at 10, so we could try to be back there before Illuminations begins. Monorail to MK to begin enight (getting there before 9-9:30. Is that possible?

Yes you should be all right if the fidler will be done by 8 or 8:30. Just watch your time it may take you 30 to 45 min to walk to Momorail then you may have to wait to get on. It should only be a short ride. Then you will need to get off that Monorail and onto the one for Magic Kingdom or the Ferry Boat. If I am remebering correctly. There may be a short wait to catch the Magic Kingdom Monorail or Ferry Boat. Next through security, ticket turnstille (SP) and you are there.

And yes I would do your wrist band before going to Epcot.

See if you can ride up front with the Monorail Captain. If no one is up front with him it is a great veiw, but they only allow 4 people to ride.

Thanks Momof2sons. It is hard to remember to figure in time for walking, travelling and the security and the ticket/turnstiles. It's too bad they can't give the wristbands out earlier in the day. What's with that? We've always done e night, but it would be better if we didn't have to wait until 4 to get the wristbands. Actually, I guess we could get them after Epcot if we get to MK before 9:30-10. Hmm. Oh well. The whole itinerary is subject to change, right!? I think the planning is what I love and then I hope the weather and my family cooperate. But as long as we're in WDW . . . .

We are doing something similiar on 7/22. WE have dinner at Teppanyaki at 6 pm and plan to head over to MK for enight after that.

Should I get the wrist bands at 4 or wait until we get to MK after dinner???????????

I'm not for sure how long your dinner would take but if it is only an hour or so then I think you should be fine in getting your wristbands when you arrive at Magic Kingdom that evening. Just remeber the line may be long if you get there late and I wouldn't want to use up my E-ride time standing in line for my wristband.

You are welcome. Time flies when you are enjoying life at THE WORLD. I also enjoy planning our trips. My itinerary has changed so many times so far and it will countinue to be flexable. My family doesn't care about the when's or where's as long as we get to THE WORLD.

Hope you all find a little of that pixy dust and remember alot of rain at Disney is better than a little rain at home. But here's hoping for dry days and late night showers if it's got to rain that's how I like it.

"alot of rain at Disney is better than a little rain at home."

So true! Thanks for the pixie dust wishes!
