Epcot Plans - rethinking my plan

[fire616]

We arrive at MCO at 9:40am on a Tuesday 10/17. We are staying at ASMu. We are hoping to get to Epcot by 1:00 at the lastest.

My current plan:
FP - Mission in Space 3:30
Spaceship Earth 4:35
FEA 6:10

I am wondering if I should switch Spaceship Earth to closer to 1:00 and Mission in Space to after FEA, as we want to be able to enjoy WS and F&W. This is an evening EMH so I know I will be able to see attractions and do rides in FW until 11:00. Any suggestions??

Arriving at 9:40, expect to get to Epcot no earlier than noon, grab a little some thing to eat (sounds like there are food carts in future world so your feasting can start there) I would tackle some of the future world rides first so maybe mission space at 1:00, then your next FP window would be 2:00 for spaceship earth. You could fit in test track in between and then move over and stay in the WS for the evening keeping FEA.Then return to future world for EMH to catch the rest of the rides you want.

This will only work if there are available FP for your times otherwise you are left with what you have. Keeping what you have isn't bad it allows for some touring of countries first maybe towards U.K. Then back to future world for a few rides then hit the other side of WS towards Mexico where you can hit FEA when you reach Norway

I would think this all depends on what you plan to do when you get there. Without knowing that, and assuming you won't be using the IG, I'd suggest a 12:30 to 1:30 window for SE. It's at the entrance of the park. I'd highly suggest not backtracking, especially, ESPECIALLY, (did I mention, especially???) at Epcot. (Every Person Comes Out Tired.) You want to do FW and WS, and backtrack between the two, and even backtrack WITHIN the two? I really, really, would not. Epcot is massive. Map out what you'd like to do, and eliminate as much backtracking as possible, ESPECIALLY in Epcot.

I would plan the 12:30-1:30 FP for spaceship earth, 1:30-2:30 for mission space and then change them if you miss the earlier spaceship earth. Depending on crowds the day of, you may not even need a fp+ for spaceship earth.

Since it's EMH I would do SE FP for when you think you'll arrive then go right to WS. Make your Mission Space FP for 8-9...then hit up TT, Soarin, characters, etc. for EMH.

I honestly think Mission Space depends on when you are eating. I personally would be fine doing it after eating, but my husband almost threw up on this without eating right before. It just didn't do well with his stomach. I guess it also depends on if you are doing Green or Orange for Mission Space.

I would switch Spaceship Earth to 1 pm and Mission Space to 2 pm then head over to WS. I would try to get on Mission Space as close to 2 pm as possible. This would give you 6 solid hours of WS and F&W touring before F&W closes at 9 pm. (I'm kind of assuming you want to see Illuminations at 9 pm, but I don't know). You can then tackle FW during EMH. If you are watching Illuminations, I would try to be close to FW (in the Canada, promenade or Mexico area) so you can head right to Soarin or TT afterward. If you aren't doing Illuminations, I would try to get on Soarin and/or TT around 8:45/9:00 pm when many will be watching the show.
