Joy, Sadness, and Baymax lines at Epcot recently and rope drop plan?

Does anyone else have Joy, Sadness, and Baymax advice? I really want to go to TT first but we wont if the wait for characters will be 45 minutes already!!

Not a really recent experience, but last summer we had a PPO breakfast at Garden Grill, then were the first people on Soarin' for the day. We were done with Soarin' by 9:06 and went straight to Joy and Sadness after. The line took an hour - longest wait of the whole trip. We saw Baymax next and that line took about 20 minutes.

We did this also and it was recent. On 10/6 we had an ADR at GG at 8:00. We were part of the first ride on Soarin' for the day. Got off it, hit the bathroom and headed out and decided to stop for Joy/Sadness. We got there and 1 family was with them, 1 waiting in the queue area, one in the line and then us. Took 5, 10 min. I was surprised to see it so short

Probably 9:10 or so. Couldn't have been much later than that. We were off Soarin before the rope drop crowd made it to the building. Could have ridden again but needed to take a bathroom break. By the time we got out of the bathroom and started up the ramp they were coming in. We went right to the M&G and it didn't take more than 10 min for all that
