Late Arrival to EPCOT w/o LLMP

[tigertides]

Hi. We are arriving 12noon into MCO, staying at Dolphin. Want to use arrival day mostly taking in atmosphere at Epcot. Teenage kids have never done

Remy
Frozen
Hopefully Test Track will be open July

They are not interested in Guardians or Mission Space

How to tackle this without LLMP? Epcot is my most disappointing park. I vowed never to return during my last solo trip here in 2022. I def do not want to spend $100 on LLMP for this.

How to tackle this?

Start with Spaceship Earth. Then do Remy (1h wait), and jump in line for Frozen with the last hour?

I don’t have a good answer for you except that sounds miserable. Epcot is not my favorite park either but that is a lot of walking and waiting for 3 rides or so after flying in that day. Is there not another day you could do EPCOT? Or do you have park hoppers?

If you're staying at the Dolphin, any chance that your Epcot day will be one with extended evening hours for deluxe resorts?

Use single rider line for Remy and it should shave off quite a bit of time. Test Track had a single rider line in previous versions and should probably have one again.

I’ve heard mixed things about using extended evening hours at Epcot. We were not initially planning on it, because the reviews were mixed in terms of how to spread out the park, the real time savings.

Changing our airfare to include a Monday at Epcot would significantly increase our costs, because there will not be a Saturday layover

If you only want those three or four rides, EEH might work just fine. I think EEH feels less productive than other parks because rides are closer together in other parks. At Epcot, there’s a lot of walking if you want Frozen and Remy and you aren’t enjoying World Showcase.

I assume since you’re staying at Dolphin, you’ll enter via the international gateway, which is right by Remy. I would consider single rider line there, then through Canada toward SE. Do TT via single rider if available. Then go through Mexico and end with Frozen late.

Stop somewhere along the way for dinner. Epcot has great food options.
