Not getting to EPCOT until 3:00 PM Monday March 9. What's the chance of getting a FP for Soarin?

[hookedonears]

Slim and none is what I think, but thought it being a Monday and really prior to most of the Spring Breaks, there may be a slight, slight chance.

I'm confused. Are you not scheduling fastpasses in advance?

Yea, will have used the 3 scheduled FP+s at DHS earlier.

 

[mom2rtk]

Ah, ok.

I think your odds are still slim to none.

Even back in legacy FP Soarin would be gone by 3. Even in the off season.

Disney/Universal Spring Break season starts March 7th and the parks will be VERY crowded according to all the crowd calendars I've seen. Along with the Epcot garden festival going on, I would plan on having to wait in line if you want to do Soarin...

Agree--highly unlikely.

 

[hookedonears]

Kind of what I thought, thanks all. This was a last minute trip planned by my daughter. She did the FP+ scheduling.

If you don’t have to see Illuminations, getting in line for Soarin’ right around 8:45 would work. We did it over the summer and were on with about a 20 min wait- in spite of the posted wait saying 60 mins.

I agree. It depends on if you are willing to stay up late. It's your trip. do what you want. Have fun. Come on! It's Disney!

I would make my FP for Soarin' & other Epcot attractions and use standby at HS.

If planning to park hop, you might consider rope drop and no FPs at DHS and using your 3 FPs at Epcot in the afternoon. The problem with this plan is that there are fewer attractions at Epcot that warrant using a FP. Still, on a busy day, using FPs at Spaceship Earth and Mission Space can be useful. So you could get one for Soarin', Spaceship Earth and one other attraction and make your afternoon in Epcot run more smoothly. Otherwise, if you hop to Epcot with no FPs, you could find yourself doing nothing in Future World. Or waiting in 75-90 minute lines.

DHS has more attractions worthy of a FP. But your FPs are going to be more valuable in the afternoon.

If it was me, I would rope drop Epcot and have FPs later in the day at DHS.

I was going to suggest the same thing. Even if you have dinner plans at Epcot, you can still hop back and forth quite easily.

March 9 is one of the busier weeks of spring break, with 8am openings every day at MK and AK, plus extended hours at night. You definitely won't be ahead of the spring break crowds.

Have you thought about getting to DHS at RD and using your FP for Epcot later in the day?
