For Labor Day Weekend EPCOT experts

[BamaBornNemoNut]

I know that this will be the first Labor Day weekend that Mission: SPACE has been opened, but generally how have the past few weekends been at EPCOT? How much more crowded would you expect the Labor Day weekend crowds to be? I've seen others mention that FPs disappear quickly after 12pm. Generally around 7pm what would the singles line be like for Test Track? I think that I remember a singles line for Mission:SPACE. Can anyone confirm?

I guess I'm going to be the only person at EPCOT during the Labor Day weekend? Or maybe I should just conclude that everyone here on the boards already knows to avoid EPCOT during Labor Day weekend? Anybody out there have any experience to offer?

This probably won't help much...but Mission Space was open last year for Labor Day and it was crowded. The FP went fast on the weekend, but the rest of the week we rode it as many times as we wanted to. I have never been to WDW during a VERY crowded time, but in general Labor Day weekend wasn't that bad. Of course there were waits, but it is always so great to be at WDW that it didn't bother us too much. Have fun.
Told you I wouldn't be much help

Thanks. Whatever you have to offer is greatly appreciated. I've been at EPCOT over the President's Day holiday, Easter holiday and St. Patrick's day holiday. Of the three, the St. Patrick's day crowd was the most out of control. A couple of drunk men ruined our viewing of Illuminations. For President's day, it was a couple of pre-teens who rushed in and took over our viewing location. So, I'm anxious to see how the Labor Day crowd is going to be.

I was there last Labor Day weekend and rode Mission:Space 4 times that weekend. (Managed to ride in ever color except Green that weekend.)

Saturday afternoon was about a 10 minute wait the first time and 30 minutes the second time.

Monday we waited an Hour and a half to get on.

Tuesday however... This is the day after Labor day there was no line.
EPCOT was sooooo dead we were able to ride Test Track 3 times in a row without getting off. We could have gone around again, but after 3 times we were finished.

We had only a half a day there since we were flying out that evening, but we had a blast. So the moral of the story is if you can stay until Tuesday the park will be Empty.

There is a singles line for mission:Space as well as Fast Pass.

Have a fun trip!

I sure wish that I could stay over another day, but I'll have to head out on Monday. Sunday morning we'll be at MK until 11am and after 3pm we'll be heading for EPCOT for the remaider of the day. I though both TT and MS had single's lines but thanks for the confirmation and the helpful information.

When I was making reservations/Ps' (last week), I had two different CM's tell me that bookings were down for Labor Day weekend and it didn't seem that it would be very crowded. We went two years ago and it was very manageable. Just be there at opening and you'll be fine!!!!
