Quick Epcot touring questions

[DisneyFinally]

In Sept, WDW crowd level 3 day, if we hit Epcot at opening 9AM, do I even need FP for Soarin, Nemo, or Spaceship Earth???
We only plan on like 4 rides in Epcot. No test track.
Should I save FP for Wishes that night??? We are going back to MK just for CRT, Electric parade, and Wishes.
Or should I FP at least 2 of them for 10 or 11, then hit Epcot at 10AM so we can sleep in alittle since we will be out late at Fantasmic the night before.
We just have lunch planned at Via Napoli for 12:30.

Not Nemo or Spaceship Earth, but yes for Soarin unless you are going to bee line it over there when the park opens. I would get there more like 8:30-8:45 if you don't want to FP it. (I think Epcot still opens a little before the stated time of 9am)

In that case you could definitely save your FP+'s for the Magic Kingdom later that day.

OK. So can just fast pass Soarin for 10AM, and arrive at park at 9:45. ? Will I still have a long wait with a FP for Soarin? Then hit the other rides. and save my 2 FP for MK?

You likely won't get a Wishes FP if you FP Soarin then try for a SDFP at MK.

Problem is, you can't schedule (pre book) FP's for two parks on the same day. The only way to use FP+ at two parks on the same day is to use the first three at one park, and then go to a kiosk at the second park to get more. The problem with that route is that you probably won't get a wishes FP+ because they will all be gone already.

If it were me, I would do Epcot early and don't use FP's, and prebook them for MK.

What is SDFP? Oh, thats right I can't get the FP in advance cause 2 different parks

OK. BUt at MK we are only doing CRT and Wishes that day. NO rides We are doing rides entire day before, and last day of our trip. Just thought maybe nice to FP Wishes, but in Sept. I guess I dont need it.

Same Day Fast Pass It's when you use up your first three that you prebooked, then you are able to go to a park kiosk and book more (but it's subject to only what's still available)

Hope that helps

There are lots of good places to watch Wishes from that don't require a FP+. If you don't need to FP it, then using a FP+ for Soarin at Epcot is highly recommended.

Saves you from needing to be there so early. In that case you may as well FP+ Nemo and Spaceship Earth too at Epcot.

I think I agree with you. Probably just easier to FP all 3 rides at Epcot, and have the convenience to show up at Epcot by 10 since we will be out later the night before. Plus on the Epcot day we will be out later for Wishes at 9PM. I think for the day after that, I will bypass my AK FP , since that day we will be riding on more rides at MK. I will save them for the rides at MK. Thx for all the help!
