Hello!

My friend and I will be at EPCOT Wednesday, May 6th from 8:30- noon. We have early entry and will be coming in from the International Gateway. We did this last year and we were first in line at IG. We will fast walk to Guardians. This is what we would like to do after Guardians before we need to leave at noon:

Test Track (totally fine with single rider)
Soarin’
Living with the Land
Frozen Ever After

What order should we do the above? We don't mind walking or backtracking if need be for shortest waits.

Thanks
 
We were there two weeks ago right at opening and split from DD who wanted to do Guardians first. We went and did Test Track (which had been shut down for a little bit), regular line, which was about 30 mins. She’d texted to she was on her way over and going to do the Single Rider line at Test Track, so we had a seat outside and were only there a few mins before she was done, so the SRL moved very quickly. We then did Soarin’ and LwtL with little wait. That worked out well. Can you get a LL for Frozen?
 

If we're near the front of the line for Guardians, can we safely say we'll be done by 9:30? Early entry starts at 8:30. That gives us 2.5 hours for TT, Soarin' LWTL and Frozen. Realizing we will have a long ish wait for at least one of those... Should we do TT single rider next? What of those tends to have the longest waits? Currently I see: LWTL 25 min. Soarin' 45 min. Frozen 55 and TT 85. (It's almost 11 o'clock) We are fine with TT as single rider though. My current thoughts are:

Guardians
Frozen
Soarin;
LWTL
TT (singler rider)

But I'm wondering if even the TT single rider will be a long wait after doing those first four.

Thanks
 
It is possible to be first in line at IG , do Remy's and make it to Guardians before the 9am crowd. We have done this several times. Just a suggestion.

We don't want to do Remys as we are doing that another day. As we are leaving if there is time we would do it but our priorities are those listed. Last year we were first in line at IG and did Remy. This year we plan to book it to Guardians and then hope to accomplish the other four rides by noon. Trying to figure the order for those rides. May be a game day decision.

We did early entry at Epcot recently and were nowhere near the front of the line. We hit Guardians first and were still too early for a 9:30 Test Track Lightning Lane.

We strolled over to Journey of Water (which is kind of fun when you’re the only group there) then back to Test Track by about 9:40.

It doesn’t sound like you are using multi-pass, but that was the perfect time to dump our Epcot Tier 2 attractions and rebook 3 Tier 1 rides in both Epcot and DHS.
 
We will also be at Epcot that day! Personally, i would do guardians, Frozen, Soarin/Living with the Land (starting with whichever one is shorter), then TT single rider.
