FEA at rope drop - what time is it

[bdarling]

I haven't been to WDW in years and recall the World Showcase at Epcot opens at 11. Is FEA excluded from this opening time and now opens when Future World opens?

We are offsite going in March so doubtful to get FP 30 days out but will be trying daily! We need to plan day 2 to rope drop at whichever time is appropriate - opening or 11a.

Noticed my thread title is FEP but asking about Frozen Ever After

Frozen always opens with Future World, not WS.

FEA opens at 9am with Future World (8 with EMH). Don't lose hope I thought it would have been all gone when I over slept on my 60 day mark but it was available for the entire Easter weekend still.

We booked a trip literally four days before we were at Epcot and still got a frozen fast pass on the first try. People are always changing things. Just have to keep your eyes open.

try for a FP you may get one I got a FP a few day after it opened and it was just 10 or so days from my trip

one thing you can do is split your group up with over vaping times

so if you have 4 people

2 people for 1-2 and
2 people for 1;30-2;30

then you can all ride between 1;30-200

yes it gives you less of a windo but you can get FP this way for ride that you other wise would not.

If you do RD FEA, plan to get to Epcot early. Every time i've been to Epcot, the CMs were letting folks in well before 9am. On our last trip, we showed up to the tapstiles at 8:40am and many people had already been let in.

I'd plan to be in line at the tapstiles no later that 8:15am. When you clear the tapstiles, hustle straight over to FEA and get in the standby line.

We had a PPO breakfast at Akershus and we left at 8:50 to get on FEA- the rope droppers were there by then. But we were able to get two rides with no wait before the line grew.

I got to Epcot at about 8:30 on a Saturday morning last month with the intention of hitting FEA first...they started letting people in at 8:45, we power-walked back to Norway, and we were on the ride by about 9:15.
