Epcot Rope Drop - Ride Strategy

[viluvsdisney]

Hi - our first day at Epcot will May 30th. We'll only be there in the morning before hopping to AK (where our 3 FPs are booked) and lunch is reserved at 1:20pm. I assume heading straight to FEA is the best strategy (it's a priority ride for DD) - do we try Soarin next or TT? We only hope to ride those 3 rides that morning.

Also - any input on what time we should leave Epcot for AK 1:20pm reservation? We'll be taking the park/bus transportation. Thanks!

Yikes. All 3 without a FP+ will be tough. I guess I'd go FEA, TT in the single rider line (the regular line will likely be long already), then Soarin'.

That should work if you are willing to wait. If you are willing to do single rider on TT I would do Soarin #2 and TT #3.

I was going to try the same thing you have planned after reading this article link I changed my mind. We have friends with us this trip but they are only there two days. He, Josh, in the link went to Frozen first and then single rider Test Track and the line for sigle rider was at the door. His chart in article states Soarin will be 75 minutes at 9:15 am. I am now rope dropping Frozen, skipping Test Track and going to Soarin instead and hoping for the best.

You might be able shave a little bit of time by going to TT after FEA, because you can walk almost directly to it beside the Odyssey building. It may only save a few minutes, but you wouldn't be zig zagging so much.

Thanks for the input! Maybe I should try TT on our second (half day) visit? A little less pressure that first morning visit (and we'll wait in the Soarin line) - hmmmmmm
