Fast pass choices with a 2 day hopper.

[ErinC]

Okay, I'm trying to think this through. We will be at the world April 9 & 10th. We've been to Disney numerous times so it's not like I'm a newbie, but we haven't been in about a year and I've never done this short of a trip. Neither one of my days are (green light) MK days. I was leaning toward Monday the 10th because it's open til 10 that night. Here are my initial thoughts...
Sunday:
Epcot first, then head over to AK. Would love to ride the new soarin and frozen. I hate how the fastpass tiers at Epcot work. If I choose soarin all the rest of the fast passes are just stuff I don't really care about or want to waste my fastpass on. How bad do you think soarin would be w/o a fastpass now that they have the additional line? Mid afternoon I want to go to AK. Would love to stay until closing and see the new Rivers of light show. AK usually dies down mid afternoon, probably the most doable in my mind without fast passes I'm thinking. We can always resort to single rider for Everest, probably the only ride that is an absolute must for me.
So main question, would you do your fastpasses for morning or evening?

Monday- thinking HS first thing in the morning, then MK afternoon and evening. Would you burn your fastpasses in the morning at HS, or save them for an obvious huge crowd later at MK? I need to see wishes one last time before it goes away. We can do rope drop at HS, so I'm thinking save the fastpasses until later.
Help me think this through please.

if you rope drop EPCOT and you do not want to ride TT or FEA you should be fine to go on soaring stand by. and use your FP for AK

I would love to do all of those, but if you FP soarin, the others aren't a choice.

no I said if you do not want to ride TT or FEA and just ride soaring and a few other then you should be fine

if you want to do all 3 I would do FEA for afternoon RD TT and then go over to soaring then do FP for FEA and then go to AK and pick a FP when done with FEA

if at HS you want to do TSMM TOT andRNR I would FP HS and have a FP for TOT and then either RNR or TSMM and wha ever one you do not FP do at rd. I would also try to start your first FP for around 9;30 next one 1030 and your last one 1130 so this why you have a better chance of getting a good FP at mk, MK has a lot of rides and most you can get same day FP for beside 7DMT might be a little hard.

I understand what you were saying now. What time does FEA open?

9am I really 8with ENH

if you do not want to use your FP at EPCOT then go to FEA then sorning if you get there right at RD you may be able to walk ( if you can be in the front of RD like get there an hour45minutes before the park opens) on/ have a 20 minute wait for FEA and then maybe a 30-45 minute wait for soaring
