hey I am going down to epcot for the first time this thursday and I was wondering what the crowds will be like. I am going on one of the days suggested to attend this park. I am very interested in the world showcase and to ride the other three big sttractions at epcot(test track, mission space and soarin). I was just wondering how corwded will this park be should be I will be arriving there at around 1130. How long will the waits be for those three big rides and is there any other must do attractions in fututre world because I really want at least to enter the world showcase by 430.

I was just there this past Thursday (25th) and Soarin FPs go quickly. We rode at opening and when leaving at 2 pm there was an 80 min standby line and FP times were in the evening hours (worth it, tho!!). Test Track was down early in the day and when we went back with FPs at 1:30 the standby was 60 mins. Not sure about FP return times. MS had a 10 min standby. Hope this helps

We went to Epcot about 2 weeks ago on a Thursday and it was very nice. It was crowded but not too bad. You could actually got on the rides but I would advise getting Fasspasses for anything you want to ride. Because by the time 11am came along the lines were about a 50 minute wait.

Just curious about am EMH at epcot. Does it really help with riding the big 3 rides or would one be better off waiting till a non Emh day?

If you're determined to hit the "Big 3" show up when future world opens (9am-ish). Crowds didn't seem to get too big until after 11am when the world showcase opened. Mission Space was a walk-on, and both Test Track AND Soarin had relatively short waits.

If you can't get there at 9am, it's probably wise to get an FP for Soarin, head over to Test Track, go stand-by if the wait isn't unbearable by that time, then ride Mission Space. Have something to eat, take a breather or whatnot, THEN your FP time for Soarin' might be approaching.

Just a head's up... not all of the stores in the World Showcase are open for evening EMH. I found this out when I was 1 pressed penny away from completing my book. Not so magical!
