Need an EPCOT strategy

[DISFANSHAN]

I know I read a while back on these boards about your strategy to ride Soarin, Test Track, and Mission Space. I will be arriving at EPCOT at opening, and staying till early afternoon. How should I go about this? What should I ride first, what should I fastpass...etc?

At Epcot opening, I would go to Soarin', grab a fastpass, get in the standby line. Then when you're done with the ride, go on Living with the Land ride.

Once you're done there, use your FP and go on Soarin' again. By this time it should be around 10/11am. After you're done with 2nd Soarin', go to TT and grab FPs there and head to MS. Ride MS then back to TT using the FP.

That's how we did it during the summer season. I'm betting if you go during value season, it wouldn't be that crowded and you might not even need FPs.

soaring was not open yet but in Jan we walked right on tt and ms ( no wait what so ever for ms, couple of mins for tt. fp wasn't even open. so i'd head to soaring at opening, then do the others if you are going in value season

we went first week of july. we were there at opening went straight to soaring, got fast pass, rode soaring, went over to test track, rode test track, got fast pass, rode mission, went back to test track and rode with fast pass, later we went back to soarin and used our fast pass. we found out that you do not have to go to the ride when the fast pass states. you can hold onto it and use it later in the day. the only thing the cm told me is that you can't use it until the time stated on the fast pass. we found this very useful because now we grabbed fast passes and went on without waiting to use the fast pass right away.

I'd grab a FP to Soarin first thing of the day, then go ride Mission Space in the standby line. I've never found the waits to be that long for Mission Space. Once you complete the Soarin ride with your FP, I'd get a FP for Test Track. While waiting for your Test Track FP time, you can do all the other things you wanted to do at EPCOT.

Exactly what I was going to say! Soarin FP go very quickly, so definitely get them first. MS and TT shouldn't have terrible stand-by lines that early so you might be able to ride one or two before your fastpass time.
