If "Frozen Ever After" is a Tier 1 FP+?

[ArwenMarie]

Everything CAN be tier one. That's the dream of everyone for one day to have Epcot and Hollywood Studios be a single tier. "Pick 3" from a selection of all rides in the park just like at Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom.

Everything can, but I don't think this ride is going to change the dynamics at Epcot that much to remove the tiers unfortunately.

I will try to head to Frozen when it opens (whether that's 9:00 or 11:00) and keep Soarin' as my FP pick.

 

[JimmyBean42]

then maybe Soarin (but we aren't too impressed with that ride anymore).

They are changing the screen show for Soarin' so that will bump attendance in that ride as well (and maybe impress you once again). But there will also be a third screen so that will help with attendance numbers as well.

I would choose Frozen Ever After for my choice on my 1st trip to Epcot after the new attraction has opened. Since we're APH, we go a lot, so I would only choose it for my first visit to the new attraction. After that, I probably would stay with Soarin'. After the 2 new/renovated attractions, we would probably stick with the usual, which is Test Track.

 

[Delirium]

We'll be getting Park Hoppers and visit Epcot twice in order to FP both Soarin and Frozen. Test track will have to be stand-by. That said, if I could only do one, the first time I would do Frozen because it's new and we've not done it before. However, long-term, I would expect Soarin would be out choice.

 

[mom2rtk]

I think visiting Epcot twice will be the answer for a lot of guests. If you don't have hoppers and don't want to spend 2 full days, hitting it on arrival night and/or departure morning might be a good approach.

theres no way they will make that a tier one and still only let you pick on tier one ride then. if they do ill be really upset. i think if they put it in tier 1 they should let you pick to then since FEA, Soarain, TT and Illuminations will all be there.

Yeah ... uh I think you are going to be upset. In addition to what you have listed be prepared for the A&E Meet and Greet to be Tier 1 too. ALL these will be highly popular rides, plus the growing crowds plus the additional crush of crowds from folks now going to Epcot for Frozenland that normally don't go.

AHHHH, hate when the zombie thread gets me before I catch it.

I'd book two days for Epcot, and use Soarin' on one day, and Frozen on another. We use single rider for TT.

I'd do the same except TT at rope drop as opposed to single rider, so we could all ride together.

 

[kdisser]

Has anyone caught word on what the queue will be like...will it be interactive? Something like Peter Pan's Flight, maybe?? I was just curious because we like to book FP but also plan a time to go through the queues.

 

[BrittyRo]

Soarin' ONLY because it's going to be the new Soarin! If it was the old one I would pick FEA!

 

[ngm]

I have 2 girls under 8, so it will definitely be Frozen for me. And we have Hoppers, so likely 2 days with FEA for one day and M&G for a 2nd day. (Although we're going 1st week in June, so this is all in the La La Land where it opens on time, they issue FP+ before our trip and I manage to snag them! )

I think it's just as valid a question today as it was last summer. I think a lot of people were hoping for answers by now.

I vote for Frozen. Since it's so new, I think the waits will be horrible. Plus, with Soarin' reopening with a 3rd theater, the capacity there will be MUCH higher than it was before. I can see this easily becoming a 4th FP+ option. Plus, my little guy doesn't quite meet the height requirements for the others yet

We are in the same boat as far as first week of June, so it's anybody's guess what will actually be open by then and when they start issuing FP. I do have contingency plans in place though.

We're going the last week of May, so I'm not holding out any hope that Frozen will be open AND they will have FP+ reservations available.

I hope you get some soft openings, at the very least!

the rumored date now is May 28. That seems to be when the sisters move back to their new Arendelle if you go by fastpass scheduling for MK. Not official yet though.
