Last minute Epcot help??

[DWFamilyof6]

last minute we've decided to rope drop EPcot today. Saving our FPs for tonight. Any recommendations for doing FEA, Test Track and Soarin this morning? What order should be go in to be most efficient?
Thanks!

I would go in that order, if you're doing them back-to-back this AM.

Why save your FP+ for tonight? You can get a FP+ for this morning and tonight, so you have your cake and eat it too. FP+ for rides in Epcot are easy to get, with the exception of FEA. We've done the "big three" many times first thing in the morning, with no sweat. Here's how we do it.

Go to Soarin' first. It will have little to no line at park open.
Go right to FEA. You should get there by 9:30-9:40am. It will have no line.
FP+ TT

Alternatively, you could go right to TT first thing, then do FEA, then FP+ Soarin'

Thanks for the tips.

@DWFamilyof6 - If you're intent on really being right there at RD, I hope you're on your way. Like be out front at 8:30AM minimum.

You don't need to. You can still do both. Make one at Epcot, then the others at AK...you can do that.

Yes, bus is pulling up now.

Thanks, I'm going to try it right now. I didn't realize you could do more than one park in your first three.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

But that has disadvantages. You can make/use your three at Epcot, but then can only make one at a time at AK after you've scanned your last Epcot one.

You can't.

if he has a fast pass for Flight of Passage or something later, he can't make one for Epcot this morning.

If you are willing to do TT single rider, I would do Frozen, then Soarin, then TT. We were able to walk onto TT via the single rider line several times yesterday.

 

[DWFamilyof6]

Ok. I'm about 200 people back from rthe rope. I decided not to cancel Ak because I realized you didn't mean two parks at one time. Headed to Frozen, Soarin, TT. Will report back how we do. Thanks everyone!

Lol, yeah - that Epcot pre RD always catches me off guard. Tends to be way more people than I expect in my experience.

I suspect TT will be the most annoying wait.

Good luck!

IMO unless you have a Frozen extreme fan. Don't waste your time on that ride. TT and Soarin are a different class.

Hope it went well.

All three complete!
FEA was about a 10 min wait at rope drop.
Soarin was about 15min.
TT was a little over 30 min.
Although, today seems like a really low crowd day.
