Help planning Epcot day

[twinprincesses09]

We have 1 day at Epcot for our upcoming trip in June. I have our Tier 1 FP planned for FEA in the early afternoon. However, now I am debating whether we should change it to TT instead. We are a family of 4 with 2 princess crazy twin girls age 9. FEA is a must do for my girls, and while we would like to do TT together, we would be ok with the single rider line. But I've heard that the line for FEA isn't too bad in the morning these days. We last went 2 years ago, and it still had long waits then. Which plan looks best? I currently have option 1 planned.

Option 1
Garden Grill PPO
Soarin'
Joy/Sadness/Baymax m&g
SE (FP 930-1030)
MS (FP 1030-1130)
TT single rider (if we have time)
Head to WS-Mexico, then on to Norway
FEA (FP 1130-1230)
Anna & Elsa m&g
Leave for break, come back around 5-6 to do rest of Future World (Nemo, LwL, Figment) then walk around WS until close

Option 2
Garden Grill PPO
Soarin'
FEA
Anna & Elsa m&g
TT (with FP- probably 1000-1100)
MS (with FP- probably 1100-1200)
Joy/Sadness/Baymax m&g
SE (with FP-probably 1200-1300)
Then leave for break and same evening plan as above.

IMO, option 2 is far better. I'm not sure what time your Garden Grill is, but if you hit Soarin' right at 9am, you can get to FEA and the line will still be short. Then your family can ride TT together, no need for single rider.

The line for SE, Nemo, Figment, LwL, etc...is essentially zero in the late afternoon/early evening (LwL usually closes late afternoon).

We went to Epcot yesterday at about 9:30 (park open was at 9) and walked straight to Fea. The wait was 20 minutes.

My pick is #2 since that's what I'm doing in June! GG ressie at 8am, Soarin' for 9 and walk straight to FEA. Hoping it will be less then 20 minute wait. Should work out well...I hope

Option 2 would be my choice.
I was thinking maybe I would go straight to FEA after I ate then back to Soarin. Since you have princess loving girls and don't want to take a chance on long lines.
If Soarin is a long wait by the time you get back it's not real hard to get Soarin as a 4th FP.

I have a question to this, I hope you don’t mind my asking on this thread. For the folks suggesting option 2, would you still go with 2 if you had to rider switch soarin? I have a similar plan for late June (with a less princess obsessed crew) and was wondering if the wait would be too long at FEA. Might it still be under 30 min?
