Epcot - Rope Drop Strategy Confusion

[Tbiafore]

I am seeing a couple of strategies being used for Rope Drop at Epcot and am curious which seems to work best. The goal is to hit Frozen, Remy, and Test Track as soon as possible, using early entry but no lightning lanes or Genie+.

I have heard some people rope drop the front of the park and pass Test Track and hit Frozen, then backtrack to Test Track after, then Remy last.
I have seen others say it's best to do it via the international gateway, and do Remy first, then Frozen, then Test Track last.

Thoughts on the best way to tackle these three rides with as little waiting as possible?

Thank you!

If you're early enough for Rope Drop then you should hit Remy's and be off of it before Early Entry officially begins. As such, you should then head to Frozen, and Test Track immediately after. If Remy's and Frozen both go perfectly, you'll actually be able to get in line for Test Track before non-resort guests are able to. But again, this is a best case scenario.

Personally I would do Remy followed by Frozen then Test Track. Are you possibly able to do single rider for TT? That one's a game changer and the wait is normally very short for single riders.

When we were at Epcot in Aug the wait for TT was 75 mins. Our group of 9 did single rider and were on the ride in less than 7 mins!

I took the skyliner and did remy and frozen with no wait once they opened, moved to the front of the park after. Much easier if you can get to the world showcase entrance.

Thank you for all your help!

If you plan to rope drop Remy first, definitely should be entering from the International Gateway. Depending where you're staying, that could add some travel time....

We were there Dec 10-15 and we had planned to do Frozen, Remys, then TT, but Frozen was down (go figure). We hit Remys which we got stuck on after waiting for 20 min (what luck I know lol). Went back and had a 30 min wait on Frozen then just did TT with single rider. I defiantly think you may get all 3 if early enough (in about 90 min) but defiantly 2.

To tag along on this, we will be staying at riveria for the first time next month. Does anyone know about what time we should be at the skyliner to be at IG to hopefully rope drop Remy and frozen during EE? We are traveling with my 2 ½ year old and Remy was her first ride, but she’s obsessed with frozen so not sure which one I should get the LL for or just try to knock them both out in EE

Your best bet to be as early as possible to Remy's from the IG is getting to the Skyliner station an hour and 15 minutes before early entry begins.
