LLMP Epcot Strategy: Remy's Single Rider Line vs Frozen's Standby Line?

[Matrixleos]

Most mornings, looks like both Tier 1 rides Remy and Frozen have already run out of available LLMP times by the time Epcot opens in the morning. So even if we reserved a "burner" ride for when park opens, we wouldn't even have the opportunity to make another LLMP time for either Frozen/Remy. Initially, when my LLMP window opens at 7am three days before my park day (staying offsite), I was planning on selecting whatever time was available for Remy and then just waiting in the Standby line for Frozen. Although now, I'm leaning towards having my family use the single rider line at Remy and making my first LLMP Tier 1 selection being Frozen.

Main question I have strategy wise, what option would you like to select for your Epcot day. Not factoring Rope Drop and later in the day, would you rather do the wait on the Single Rider Line (have your family split up) and use the LLMP on Frozen or use the LLMP on Remy and just wait out the Standby Line at Frozen? Thanks

If your kids are old enough to be comfortable riding alone with other people I would use Single Rider for Remy and book a LLMP for Frozen.

You couldn't pay me to get in that Frozen SB line!!!

We have attempted to ride Frozen the past 3 trips and only succeeded once. The other 2 times we bailed as the line was moving so slowly and we just didn't have it in us to wait.

The way we tour we always seem to hit this attraction mid-afternoon which is about the worst time to arrive at it. Might need to look into switching up our touring style on our next trip to see if that helps.

We don't purchase LLMP for Epcot so booking that way is not an option for our family.

Not only does it have a VERY low hourly capacity, it is a very slow loader as most folks take "their time" getting in, settled and then climbing out. Combine those two and the line will always be that long. I think it is around 1000 hourly capacity .... and then there is Small World that can handle 3000 per hour. I know there has to be more boats on Small World. Perhaps before you put in what will be a very popular ride you consider the capacity. But what do I know? I suppose the point is to sell Epcot LL.

I will say back when we had FP+ (FREE) we almost always were able to roll and get it within an hour ... and we'd arrive to a huge line out to the lagoon??? Never understood that since it was FREE.

Agreed with everyone above, use LLMP for Frozen and standby for Remy. Be ready for disappointment since Remy breaks down a lot. You may need several Epcot visits in order to experience them both.

We only ride Remy if we do EE. Then we head straight to Frozen. Yes, there is a line, but there is always a line. We never buy LLMP for Epcot.

Thanks for all the feedback. We'll be there on this Sunday, Jan 12th and yesterday was my LLMP reservation day. I woke up at 7am to make my selections and ready to select Frozen but I saw an amazing return time for Remy available from 2:55pm to 3:55pm. So I selected Remy, especially since our early planning, we were estimating being around the France pavilion around 3pm or so.

I also was even able to snag an early "burner" ride for the Short Film Festival for 10 minutes after the park officially opens, so once we scan in, I'll see if Frozen is still available or not. So far it looks like it might not be as busy of a Sunday, as Frozen still has return time availability for 3pm. Soarin still has availability for 10:20am and Remy still has availability for 7:05pm.

Once we rope drop our burner (we're probably just walk out once we reserve our next LLMP ride), we're going to head over World Nature to knock out Soarin without a LL and Living with the Land. Especially since we have a tour schedule for Behind the Seeds for that morning. Looking forward to it as we've never done that tour and it's my wife's favorite attraction.

Plus we got lucky with a last minute dinner reservation that opened up for Le Cellier Steakhouse for 7:50pm. It'll be our first time eating there and something that timing wise never worked out on previous trips.
