Which option is better for getting to Epcot at opening time:
1) go right to Soarin'--ride it--then go get TT fastpass and wait for Mission Space
2) I run get TT fastpasses and then we ride Soarin'
3)other
We've ridden MS and TT but never Soarin'--that is my first priority--but should I wait to get TT fastpasses or will that time be getting ridiculous? I think I can hustle over there and meet up with the family if that is the better option, but if the Soarin' line gets long FAST we should probably get right over there.
MS is for when the othe two are taken care of, or we have FPs in hand--I am riding the wimp version but the other 4 will probably ride the regular one--they love it but it makes queasy.

i would go right to Soarin'. the lines for this can become rediculous very fast. i would then fastpass TT and just wait on line for MS. or if after riding Soarin' and you really like it you could grab a fastpass for a return trip and wait on line for TT and then ride MS. last july 3rd this is what we did both mornings we went to Epcot. worked well for us both times. TT is the wild card here. either the lines seem to go along very well or you never ever seem to move at all. i think in the morning it may move better because the masses usually head over to soarin'.
 
I'd hit Soaring first as the line is slow moving and seems to be forever stuck at "80" minutes. (if you have a wait at soaring for 20minutes or so, then one of you can take the passes, run over to TT, get FP and run back to meet your crowd in the Soaring Line.)

If you dont have to wait at soaring then AFTER riding soaring get FP for TT, then go ride Mission Space.

Your sure to be able to amuse yourselves at EPCOT even if your FP time is two to three hours away. also have you thought of going solo on TT?? this line is usually faster

Go to Soarin' first.
If they're already distributing FastPasses, get them so you can ride again without a long wait. If the dispensers aren't open, check them again on your way out.
After Soarin', go across the park.
Test Track first. then Mission: Space. If TT is closed, obviously go directly to M:S
I realize you won't be able to get FastPasses for either of these but since you've been on them before and never been on Soarin', I think this is the smartest plan (said the woman who, at DCA, got a FastPass for Soarin' over California then waited in the standby line because the wait time was shorter than the FP return time; then exited and immediately entered through the FP line because my window had opened; then exited and immediately entered the single riders line - thereby riding three times in less than 45 minutes)
