Rope drop at Epcot

[tabithamarie4]

We (2 adults and 2 kids) have FPs for Frozen. We are planning on getting to epcot in time for ripe drop. Do we go straight to Test Track and then over to Soarin’ or hit Soarin’ first and then Test Track (or later in the day). Kids are 4 and 8 so single rider isn’t an option for TT. Thanks!

I lean toward TT, then Soarin'

But, really, it is more of a 50-50 situation as to which should be done first.
Take your pick, and have fun!

What Robo said!!!

Another option is to get an 8:00am breakfast reservation at Garden Grill, hop on Soarin when you finish before opening and then do TT.

I'd also recommend going TT then Soarin.

But like robo said it's pretty much a toss up. Get there early to be near the front of the pack so you can get on TT early. Further back in the crowd you are, later you get off TT, longer Soarin line builds

I agree TT first, just check to make sure it is operating though. We have been there when it’s down first thing in the morning. Better to know that before you walk all the way over there.

I tend to agree with TT first.... but just relaying personal experience.... we’ve twice been burned by TT being down first thing in the AM. Both times we were towards the front of the line with it massively building behind us. Had to debate what to do... bail, or stick with it. Both times we stuck with it, but it ended up eating a lot more of that “first hour” time than expected.

Of course, anything can happen on any given day. YMMV.

Have fun!

Try TT first and ride if it's running. Then head over to Soarin'. Standby lines don't build as quickly there in the morning in my experience.

TT has been building lines a lot quicker at RD than Soarin the last few weeks (that may or may not be a change, just that I have been looking the last few weeks). It looks like you have some time to get to Soarin and still have a 20 min wait whereas if you're not in the immediate RD crowd at TT it quickly climbs to 40.

 

[Elle :)]

We have the same dilemma ahead of us. I decided on TT at RD followed by Soarin. It looks like the line for TT builds up faster (and the ride goes down more). I’m also hoping for a 4th FP at Soarin. Fingers crossed.

How will you know if TT is down at RD? Is it posted on the app?

 

[DaniMoon]

I'd say definitely TT. We RD TT last year and headed to Soarint. We rode Soarin twice before 10:15.

We roped dropped TT and it was down first thing for about 20 to 25 minutes, we then went to do our Frozen FP and were surprised that the wait time was significantly lower than the wait time for TT had been when we left it.

There is a YouTube Video that Touring Plans did that has 3 different people going to the 3 headliner attractions you mention in three different orders to see which will work best. You should watch it, it very scientifically tackles your exact question!

We have never been there for a rope drop. Are there crazy amounts of people pushing each other to get to specific attractions?

Epcot and its top-priority attractions is so broadly spaced, that's not really a major concern.

I'd do Soarin, and then FP for TT...that is if you didn't use it for FEA. If so, then TT first.
