EPCOT Strategy

[Arobinson]

Was hoping for some feedback for our upcoming day at EPCOT. Is this plan overly ambitious or fully "doable"? It is just my wife and I and we can walk pretty quickly. We are typically the first dozen or so in line for rope drop.

Entering through International Gateway (early Entry)
Rope drop Remy
Hustle to Guardians to beat 9am ropedrop rush.
LL Spaceship Earth (9:10 -10:10) (a planned burner)
LL Test Track (10:35-11:35)
ILL Guardians (10:30- 11:30)
LL Soarin' (12:10 - 1:10)

The hope was to knock out most rides early on and enjoy World Showcase in the afternoon / evening.

If you enter IG towards the front of the crowd, you may be able to reach Guardians prior to the ropedrop group enter but it will be tight and everything will need to work out perfectly.

I'm not sure you will be successful 'burning' your LL for Spaceship Earth as I would be very surprised if your Guardians ride is complete and you have time to walk over to SE to tap into in prior to 10:10. Even though you will hopefully arrive before the offsite group, you will still be behind all of those eligible for ETPE who went directly to Guardians. The average wait time at 8:58AM is 58 minutes and that does not include ride time, exiting, walking to SE,etc. All this to say, you may wish to push your SE LL a bit later if you plan to use it as a burner.

If you’re not going to take a hotel break in the afternoon and stay in EPCOT early entry to close… you minus well just use standby so you don’t have to rush through attractions. I would use LL if you either hopped parks or planned to take a break outside of the parks.

Thanks for the suggestions. We will see what the wait is like for Guardians after Remy. If it is too long, we will head right to SE.

That’s a great script! Definitely will save you over $40/guest… considering Disney is being a platypus for jacking up LL prices.
