June 25-July3 what new stuff will be open? Epcot fp options?

[discorsner]

Just planning a last minute trip starting 6/25. Have not added tickets to MDE yet so have not been able to look at fp+ options yet.

Will EPCOT have Soarin and Frozen Ever After open? Will fp+ be available for these?
Is it expected that both of these and TT will be tier 1?

What new evening offerings will there be in AK?

Thanks for any info! I have seen many articles with contradictory opening dates so I thought I would ask the experts here!

Soarin will be open, it opens June 17. I have a FP for it on July 4. There still is no word on Frozen Ever After, but so far there are no FP+ for it for my July 2 - July 10 trip. People are hoping whatever announcement Disney makes on their blog around May 20 about Animal Kingdom will contain an opening date for the Frozen things at Epcot. There is a lot of discussion on what all will be considered Tier 1 at Epcot, and most people are guessing that the Frozen Ever After and the meet and greet with anna & elsa will be tier 1 along with Soarin and TT. Animal Kingdom is very up in the air right now. Rivers of Light will not be happening anytime soon, it's looking like, but hopefully they'll have a more definitive answer for us on May 20 on their blog. I would prepare for the Jungle Book show that will be in ROL's place while you're there. They will have extended Animal Kingdom hours with a nighttime safari ride and some street parties in a couple of sections of the park. I would keep an eye on the boards on May 20 and see what people post the Disney Parks Blog has said about AK.
