One day I'd like to be at FW in Epcot from opening til 2pm. I would like to do the following:

Soarin
Test Track
Figment
Shrunk the Audience
Shop a little
Crush
Innoventions DD liked this

IS 5 hours enough time to do all this or plenty of time. I plan on being there for rope drop and sending DH to get FP for Soarin and MS while I rent a stroller. Just tell me if my idea of a timeframe is accurate. TIA!!
 
All depends on the day, but you should be ok. On the surface (and if you get the big 3 out of the way early), you will have plenty of time. But don't be surprised if you end up cutting it close.

Good luck and have fun!!! :banana:
 
Get there and get a FP for Soarin' as soon as you get there. Last year we were able to do all you mentioned except Soarin' from lunch time (after we got the flat tire fixed) until 4p.m. We also ate lunch during that time and went on some dinosaur ride (can't remember what its called). Oh, we also rented the stroller during this time.
 
Unless they changed something or he's REALLY fast, he can't get FP's in that fashion . . . you can't get a second FP for 2 hours or until your first FP window opens, whichever comes first. Just didn't want you to get all thrown off if the Soarin' FP is for 45 minutes out and wastes time running to M:S only to find it doesn't work. I'd say rent the stroller while he gets the Soarin' FP, and meet at M:S ASAP for the standby line.
 

In May we did all that plus Living with the Land, Mexico and Norway rides, and more by 3 p.m. We got FP for Soarin first thing and rode the Land while waiting for our return time.
 
Did you schedule time for a food and pee break lol
 
I scheduled a late lunch for 2:45 at Kona that day.I figured we could get CS for breakfast, do Epcot FW and then a late lunch. I would like us to do MGM's EMH and then Fantasmic. To tell the truth, I'm getting tired just looking at the schedule!
 
It is doable. Get you FP for Soarin after entering and meet at Test track, ride Test Track and then Mission Space. You should be able to do both before your FP if you are at the rope drop. Then go on Soarin and head over to the Living Seas for Crush (it doesn't open till 10- realize you may need to wait in line for a show but they let in about 100 people each show even at the end of the line area you get in within 2 shows. (If you FP window is not yet open stop by Character Connection on the way to see all of the gang with fairly quick lines)
You should get out of Crush between 10:30-10:45. Head over to Imagination and ride Figment and see Honey I Shrunk. You now have the rest of your time to explore innoventions and shop.
 
Fully doable. I was down beginning of October last year and there were hardly any lines. Base it all on what time your fast pass for Soarin is. We waited all of ten minutes for both Mission Space and Test Track. If it's EMH you'll even have no problem getting in Universe of Energy.

By the way we got everything but Soarin done after arriving at the park after doing AK and arriving at EPCOT after 3 PM. By 8 pm we were halfway around the world showcase waiting to be called for a table at 9 Dragons, WITH NO ADR!

Then again I'm not traveling with children and I do have a reputation for being a park commando! :teleport: :teleport:
 
Your plan is a go, it is possible. Getting your FP for Soaring first will be the key. Crush was somewhat of a wait when we were there in June, but as others mentioned they will take in many guests in during one show.
 
I think this is definitely doable.

FP Soarin' then head to TT and do Standby... it should not be too long of a wait early in the morning. Return to Soarin'. Crush would probably be my next choice as I have heard the line can get very long for this. Once those three are out of the way the rest should be easy.
 
Yes go and do it. You will make it.
