help needed with a HS morning and Epcot afternoon

[sandyplayer]

We are a family of five (have taken the kids twice in the past 8 years) heading down the week after Easter with my parents and sister who have not been in about 20-25 years. My sister is only with us for two nights.

We are doing a 9-1 or 2ish HS morning with a break at the hotel (GF) heading to epcot for a few hours at night.

Originally I thought, Oh I will FP TSM and then save another FP for Soarin later. I have been up in the air with the others.
In HS we will probably do Rockin Roller before noon, but single rider because only 3 or 4 of us will go. So other than that, Great Movie, and Muppets may be the only things we do. We also plan to do Beauty and the Beast and if we are not pressed for time, the around 1ish Indiana Jones.

But now I remember that we can't split FP over two parks.

And Soarin is a must do with my sister that day.

So should we head right to TSM without a FP that day? is it still that crazy rush? And save our fastpasses for epcot? Or is there ever a chance that if we use 3 fp before noon we may get a soarin FP for that night? We don't plan on being in epcot past 8:30, so late fastpasses won't help, even if they are ever available, and I am thinking def not this time of year. It would also help us to use the Soarin FP bc then we can use a frozen FP for our second epcot day.

Take a look at the FP FAQ Addendum at the top of this forum. It has tips for FPs and park hopping.

Example: Pre-Book a FP for TSMM and as soon as you enter the FP line, go onto the app and book FPs for Soarin.

I think you should just fp soaring and night and spend the rest of the Epcot night in the world showcase or trying to get on TT or FEA

If you hit TS at rope drop I think you should be able to do TS, RR and Tower before 1 (with some waiting)

I read that. And I understand the logic of it. But if I am going at a busy time there may be a chance that there are no fastpasses for soarin left, and I would be stuck. I don't want to risk losing it as is the only thing my mom wants that day..

I was thinking that might make more sense. Those with us that day are not interested in FEA so we will probably save that for our other epcot day, and TT has single rider so we can try to get on that with those in our group interested (about half I think) each night.

We aren't doing Tower. And for rockin we were planning on hitting after TSM as single rider, again because only half our group will ride it.

Does that make sense?

Thanks for you help!
