Frozen Ever After- re-rideability for adults?

[Micca]

Like everything at WDW FEA is worth at least one viewing. In an adults only situation we sure wouldn't spend anytime getting FP for it, if the lines diminish in a few years we'd def try it again.

I found on my last trip that I was able to get a FP for Soarin' after my first 3 were used up. Since they put in the third track, it isn't as crowded as it used to be. So I would keep the FP for Frozen (you will see a lot of things the second time that you didn't notice on the first) and then start looking for Soarin' as FP #4 as soon as you check in for the ride.

Personally, I'd definitely say it's a "one and done" thing for adults.

My wife loved it, my son and I were "meh" and my "anything Frozen loving" daughter hated it (the drops.)

For us, its a one and done. If I never rode it again, I would not have any regrets. But, I suspect we'll ride it again because my wife liked it.

I would suggest going on it once and making your own decision.

Just knowing what type of ride it is ... a dark ride similar to Peter Pan and Little Mermaid, I would consider it "one and done" for an adults only trip. ESPECIALLY due to the FP tiering at Epcot. I would grab Test Track or Soaring FP any day over FEA (and I haven't ever ridden FEA).

Hi everyone,
I know that there are tons of reviews about FEA (mostly positive from what I've seen) and posts about wait times, but I am having trouble getting a sense of how "re-rideable" the attraction would be for two adults. My husband and I (both in our mid-20's) absolutely loved the old Soarin ride, but since we haven't been to WDW in 2 years, have not yet experienced either Soarin Around the World or FEA yet. We currently have two Epcot days planned and were planning to rope drop Soarin (followed by TT single rider) and fp FEA both days. However, I am now starting to wonder whether FEA might be a "one and done" type attraction for us, and whether we would be better off switching one of our FEA fp's to another Soarin fp. One of our Epcot days is a morning EMH day, and the other we have a pre-park opening ADR meal at GG to rope drop Soarin (and that is also an evening EMH day, so we figure we can ride Soarin again that night before park close). With the old Soarin/ tiering system, we used to rope drop Soarin, fp+ Soarin, and try to ride right before park close on each Epcot day (it is really one of our favorite WDW rides), so it still feels like a sacrifice to switch out our Soarin fp's for Frozen even though we would likely still get 3 Soarin rides in over the course of our trip!
Does anyone have any recommendations on whether it's worth keeping both Frozen fp's, or switching one of them out for Soarin? I am trying to avoid having to watch a film of the FEA attraction before we go, since I like to be a little surprised when we experience new rides!
For reference, we both enjoyed the film Frozen and thought that it was cute, but are not avid fans of the movie (if that makes a difference).
Thanks so much in advance for your thoughts!!

For my family, FEA was a "one and done" FP+ attraction. My daughter (8, 7 the first time she rode FEA) even asked me if I had booked another FP+ for it because "I'd rather go on Test Track or Soarin". You and your husband may feel differently after riding it, but it's not something we'll use a FP+ for again unless it drops into Tier 2.

One and done for adults. I actually thought it a waste of a fast pass.

1. I often think of certain rides as similar. IMO, Astro Orbiter/Dumbo/Triceratops Spin are all basically the same ride. I'm happy to go on any of them, but none of them are worth a long wait. I'll only ride the one that has the short(est) wait.

2. Pretty much all rides are worth trying once. It is always worthwhile to form your own opinion, and satisfy your curiosity.

IMO though, we ranked the MK's Little Mermaid and Epcot's FEA in the same general category, but LM has a shorter line. FEA is kind of a one and done.

When we last went to Epcot, we did FEA (first) standby and with a FP. One of the better parts of the ride is the new queue....but mostly what appealed to us, was to make a note of HOW the original queue and ride were modified.

(For us, the only FP we could get was an inconvenient time. We didn't think we were going to use our FP. By the time I looked at modifying it, though nothing useful was available. We unexpectedly stayed long enough to use our FP.)

3. First time, we focused on the storyline and enjoying the moment. The second time, we thought more about how the old ride was modified. Both times, we just HAD to say, "Back, back, over the falls!"

4. IMO, Test Track is still the best ride in Epcot by long shot.
