Order of attractions at The Seas at Epcot?

[ArielSRL]

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question....
Out of Turtle Talk, The Seas with Nemo and Friends clamshell ride, and exploring the tanks...what's the best/most obvious order? I haven't been since 2012 and I think we only did the clamshell ride and exploring the tanks. This time I scheduled them on my touring plan: TTalk, exploring tanks, then ride. And I booked a TTalk FP. But then someone pointed out that it might be best to do it opposite? I was able to shift my FP a little bit but I have one scheduled for SSE right after so I had to move it a bit too. So, I'm wondering, would it also make sense to do clamshell ride, TTalk, then explore?

TIA

I think it would make the most sense to ride, turtle talk, then check out the tanks. If you do turtle talk then ride, you have to exit the building and re-enter for the ride, then exit back by turtle talk.

Also, unless you really don't have any other FP to use, Turtle Talk is really a waste of a FP. You don't need it to see the show. I'd go with any other FP in the park.

Thank you. I went ahead and switched Talk (now 2nd) and ride (now 1st) and my FP still fits. Honestly there really isn't much else I could schedule for my FP bc this is only a half day (we have 2 half days planned). I use touring plans and the predicted wait time is 15 min. I know, not much, but nothing really was any longer, other than SSE at 20 min and that's my other Tier 2. Thanks again!

If it's a half day, and if it's the first park of your day, you might consider putting your FPs in the second park. Just because you won't get much of a line at either in the morning (everyone will be headed to TT or Soarin' if it's open).

We always do the ride first. Then I check with CM to see how soon the next Turtle Talk will be. We explore during that wait time. And then after Turtle Talk, we can explore more if we want, depending on how much time we have before our next attraction.

And whatever you do, don't let Bruce taste your hand!

We are actually doing Disney Springs that evening...so no second park. But thanks for the reply!

I don't know if it makes much difference whether you explore or do T-talk first but definitely do them after the ride.

Thank you! Btw, my DH is from Lafayette, LA and a huge LSU fan (house divided here - Go Dawgs).
