How long to get from test track to soarin'?

[mtemm]

Starting to plan out our itinerary for our July trip. We are hoping to FP+ FEA as our top tier Epcot FP+, which means we will be trying to rope drop test track (from international gateway) and then head directly to soarin'. We are fairly brisk walkers, kids are all teens. About how long should it take us to get to soarin' from test track? And is it fairly well marked? I don't know why but I feel like I have a good internal map of all the parks except for future world!

Any idea what wait times we will likely have with soarin' if we do it right after test track? I know that is probably hard to say and I'm sure I will be looking at the app as July gets closer, but just curious if anyone has an educated guess.

This is what we just did last week. We went to Test Track first thing and got right on, then walked over to Soarin. It was me and DH with 2 strollers and it took us less than 10 minutes to walk over there. It's pretty easy to find the Land pavilion and when we got there, the wait said 25 minutes, but we probably waited about 5 minutes. It was a good plan!

I feel you with the internal GPS being a little fuzzy in future world!! I'm on auto-pilot in the other parks, the front of Epcot requires pulling over to the side and thinking for a minute for me.

We have always had the same experience as hulagirl87 - ropedrop (make sure you're towards the front of the crowd by arriving pretty early and stay on the lefthand side) and a quick walk to Test Track and get on with a short wait. Even when the line looks scary long because it's straight (as long as you are towards the front of the walkers being led to TT), remember that everyone needs to get to the internal queue and it won't be a long wait. Walk across to Soarin' in 10 minutes or less. Ignore the wait times posted on Soarin' - they are usually overstated at within the first 30 minutes of park opening, your wait will normally be less than what is posted. The walk from Test Track can be taken a few different ways - we always go through the walkway by the Character Spot.

Thank you! Glad I'm not the only one who gets a bit turned around in FW.

I know it will be busier in July than it is now but hope for a quick experience for both then can relax a bit

You'll be backtracking to come back to Soarin if you're entering through IG and head to TT. TT to Soarin is a 5 min walk.

Then backtracking again to go to Frozen. If you want to go in one fluid route you'd want to do Soarin, TT, FEA

Here is the layout from above.

If you're all adults/teens, why not do Soarin' first? Then you can single rider at TT and not worry about the line getting too long, too fast.

I plan to have FEA FP+ for later in the day. But I figure with wanting to do nemo and crush, but nothing else near TT it made sense to head to TT first then settle in around the Land for a bit
