I have read everywhere that FP go fast for Epcot rides (mission, soarin, & test drive). But how fast is fast. We are going to DW next weekend. We are thinking of park-hopping on Saturday the 29th. Animal Kingdom for EMH and then EPCOT probably around 1-2pm for the Mission, Soarin, Test Drive and for FW festivel. If we get to EPCOT at 2 what are the chances that there will still be FP for any of these rides?? WIll we have time to do all three, maybe a few smaller rides too?? Unfortunalty, Future World closes at 7:00 on Saturday. SUGGESTIONS

when you enter the park, walk to the area between the two innovention buildings, where they have the information board with the current waittimes....
it will say if there are FPs left at the various rides...
my guess is there will still be FPs left for all of them....so if i were you i'd turn right and head for Soarin.....get a FP......
the reason i'd head for Soarin is that if FPs run out at Test Track you can always go into the single riders line...
as for mission space, this one rarely has a long line...but you can also go into the single riders line for mission space (and even in the height of summer, the single riders line at mission space usually only takes about 10 minutes)...

so....go to soarin first...pick up a FP immediately.....if the FP timeslot is only say about 30 minutes away you could either try your luck at Living with the Land (this also has FP,but sometimes the standbby line isn't too bad)...
if Living with the Land is too long a line you could head over to imagination and go on Imagination and then Honey I shrunk the audience..
by this point your soarin FP should have kicked in and you can go back and ride Soarin...
once you're done with Soarin, head across future world for Test Track....pick up a FP if there any left and then head for Mission Space....if there are no FPs left for TEst Track then get into the single riders line for TT....after TT go on MS...
If there are FPs for TT, get one and then ride MS (either the standby line or single riders line depending on the length of the line)..
after MS go back to TT if your FP slot has come up.....if it hasn't come up yet, and it's not far off, you could stop and have a frozen coke or softdrink...if it's still a ways off you could go into innoventions and look around a bit while you wait for your TT FP....or else you could go into the single riders line....
 
I say it all depends!!

I know when we were there during Columbus Day weekend, lots and lots of unhappy people, by noon the FP were GONE - and there were complaints to a specific CM - -

Now when we were at MK, I think it was a Friday, I couldnt believe how crowded and long the FP lines were, Bless my mom, she didnt feel that way at all - she said, lets time it and she did at BTMR - the line was all outside then down to the one train, it went fairly fast - 10 minutes and we were in a train... unfortunately the train didnt go!! That's right, it shut down, they asked us to stay seated and gave us a FP for a return trip - mind you everyone was asked to turn around and exit the ride!! What a mess!!!
 
Future World does close at 7, but M:S, Test Track and Soarin' do not. They are open until 9 PM (or is it 9:30???). So even if the FP's are gone, you should be able to get on them if you don't mind waiting.
