Forgot about test track :(

I booked my fastpasses at 60 days exactly. Got everything I wanted (so I thought) except FEA and that was really not a priority for us. But looking back now I realize that I didn't get a FP for Test track! I don't recall even seeing test track in the lineup when choosing my FPs. I'm sure I would have noticed it as that is one of our favorites. Today I tried to go into MDE and modify one of my FP to see if I could get TT but it is not listed - even under the "unavailable" section.
We are at WDW for 10 days so I'm thinking we might be able to hit it up on EMH days but is there a way to just look for TT fastpasses and see what they have available any day during our stay? Or do you have to search day by day?
 
Is it scheduled for a refurb during your time period? Maybe that's why it's not showing up?
 

I don't think there's any Test Track refurb coming up.

Remember, if you don't mind being apart from each other for just the duration of the ride, the single rider line can be your best friend. There's even a chance two of you will be in the same car, just different rows.
 
I would highly recommend doing Test Track single rider. I did that twice last week -- waited less than 10 minutes each time.


Last December DS14 rode TT 5 times in a row through single rider. DW was shopping and DS5 and myself were just hanging out.
 
I prefer Single Rider as well as you get to bypass the car design which I don't care for (really just adds to the wait time imo). To answer your question I think you need to search day by day unfortunately. And you can only search the park you have other FP planned for. If you have 4 people and are not finding anything try searching 2 and 2. You may be able to find times for smaller groups that overlap.
 
If you didn't book FEA and TT, I'm guessing you chose Soarin' and/or Illuminations as your Tier 1 choices? If you want to change those, I would go into the FP+ section of MDE and trying switching one of those out (I would suggest switching out Illuminations if you chose it - you do not need an FP+ for Illuminations). If there is nothing available, I would suggest going to TT right at rope drop and you will be fine.

As others have suggested, you can also do single rider if everyone in your party is age 7 or older. You bypass the design area, however, if you really want to design a car, you can go in through the TT gift shop, design a car in the ride exit area and then head back around to the single rider line.
 
Single rider works great...but it can't be used by children under age 7, and you can't ask to be seated together. Single rider is used to fill in unoccupied seats and you need to go where they put you.
 
Do you have a different Tier 1 ride booked, such as Soarin'?
I'm willing to bet that this is exactly the problem. OP is looking on the Tier 2 list for TT. It won't be there. But it will be on the Tier 1 list. Unless they are looking for today, I'd also be willing to be there are FP available for TT.
But, like others have said, using single rider for TT and a FP for Soarin is a better idea, if you don't have 2 Epcot days.
 
As suggested above, get to the park early and go right to test track.
 
Thanks all-I do have Soarin booked that day. Duh - should have been able to figure that out myself! I'm just going to do single rider and "let it go, let it go..."
 
My son and I usually ride TT single rider. Most of the time we end up in the same car anyway. This past trip, we were able to add a TT FP as our 4th and ended up really regretting it. More like a slow pass. Never again...
 
Last month I was able to get test track for 7 people (all booked as 1 FP with overlapping times) around 2pm in the afternoon for 8pm that night. It didn't show availability at first but I kept refreshing and then a time came up and then I kept going in to modify to move it. It took me about 20 minutes but I ended up getting all 7 within a 45 minute window. So after you use Soarin' and your two tier two FP, try for a Test Track 4th FP. Try individually and keep modifying.
 
Unfortunately you're not missing much...the new Test Track is so sterile compared to the original iteration, and even that I wasn't crazy about. (World of Motion 4 Lyfe!)
