Epcot Planning Part 1

[apxstitch]

I'm going to WDW for the first time in 20 years and I know a lot has changed. I'm a meticulous planner and I'd love some feedback on my Epcot plans. I'm going at the end of November on a Wednesday, no EMH, park hours are 9-9:30.

I'll arrive early and plan to rope drop Soarin, then walk over to Test Track and do the single rider if I can't get a FP. Then I'll ride Spaceship Earth, The Seas with Nemo & Friends, then to Fountainview and Club Cool for some late Breakfast and to try Beverly.

Is it possible to accomplish all of this before 1 pm? I plan to move on to World Showcase after this but I'm still working on that part of the plan.

As long as you aren’t going Thanksgiving week, you should easily be able to accomplish all this by 1:00.

I would get a TT FP for 9a-10a, Spaceship Earth for 10-11. RD Soarin and hit Nemo right after on your way to TT instead of backtracking. If those and a quick breakfast are all you want to do, you could probably be done by 11.

Def go to Las Halles in the France pavilion.
If the Guardians of the Galaxy show is still playing. That’s really good too.

I'm going the week after Thanksgiving Nov. 26-30

Thank you this sounds excellent!

I'm definitely going to Les Halles for an afternoon snack. I'm not into Guardians so will probably skip it. I have a lot planned for World Showcase in the afternoon.

Lol- I wasn’t into GotG either- never saw it until after seeing the stage show. It’s just good music from the 70’s.

If all you're going to do is ride Nemo and not spend any time in the aquarium, then pitpat's idea should work fine, but you'll be at the very end of your FP time for TT, so keep an eye on the clock. If you want to do anything inside The Seas, then I wouldn't go this route. Also, it depends on getting that FP. If you don't get the FP, I'd stick with your original plan.

We go first to Frozen Ever After, then walk very fast to Soarin and have a Test track FP, a Living With the Land FP and a Spaceship Earth FP. Seas With Nemo moves fast and then we do Soarin again ( the only real line that we have to wait in. ) Then Club Cool for free drinks and the Jammitors and Fountain Show. By then it is 12:30 and we walk fast to the lands and lunch at Les Halles in France. Yum, quiche and Napoleans ! Then I have the entertainment coordinated for the rest of the day. After using our third FP I keep getting more FP's for Gran Fiesta Ride in Mexico, Soarin at night, and for a FP spot at Illuminations. We always have a dinner reservation. At the end of the night we always watch the Fountain of Nations Show behind Spaceship Earth. Then we walk out on the sparkly ground and have happy dreams.

Just an insignificant heads up....the Beverly was not available last week. There were some new options that were good, if you enjoy fruity sodas. Maybe Beverly was just taking a break.

When you do this route, what time do you get to the park and how long is your wait at FEA? And then how long of a walk is it from FEA to Soarin'? I'm trying to avoid criss-crossing the park all morning. We will be coming in from the International Gateway. When I put your plan into a touring plan, by the time it has us at Soarin', the line is 20 minutes. Does that sound about right?

OP, do you have no interest in riding Frozen Ever After? That's a Tier 1 so you wouldn't be able to fast pass Test Track with it. What I would do is fast pass FEA for the afternoon when you will be in WS, rope drop Test Track (or do single rider) and ride Soarin' in the morning after Test Track. The wait times for Soarin have gone down with the additional screen, so it should still be manageable even if you don't get to it first thing.
