Epcot strategy January 7th

[aprilfoolwed]

Was able to get a FEA FP, but for 7:45 pm. Best strategy for getting other attractions done with as minimal waits as possible? Test track and soarin are must-dos. Have FP for spaceship earth and mission space at 11:45 and 12:45. No ADRs, so flexible with eating times. What to hit at rope drop?

That's the day of the WDW Half Marathon, which goes through Epcot to the finish. It will be wrapping up when the park opens, so just prepared that there will be large paths of runners that you will have to cross through.

I would do TT at rope drop and then head over to Soarin.

Like a pp said be patient and prepare for holding at rope drop.

I would do TT at rope drop and then head over to Soarin.

this is what I would do with the three theater for soaring the line dos not tend to get that long that earlier

I would do TT at rope drop and then head over to Soarin.

This is what I would do as well.

Unless you can do the single rider line at TT. Then Soaring' first and then single rider TT.

We are doing a Magic Pass, so one day at each park. Would I be better offer switching Epcot to Friday 1/6, and doing AK on 1/7? Is there a way to see FP availability at other parks without cancelling current FP? I don't want to cancel everything and find out there's nothing available at other parks. I know I'll lose my FEA FP if I switch days, but not sure what the marathon start/stop does to crowds?

Also, get to Epcot well in advance of 9am. Two weeks ago, we got there at 8:40am both days and there were already a bunch of folks inside.

If I wanted to snag TT or Soarin, i'd get there at 8am and wait for the park to open.
