Rope drop soarin or FEA

[kristen821]

I have a fast pass for test track at 9:10. I planned to rope drop soarin or FEA. I will be traveling with my 14, almost 3 and 7 year old. Which would you choose?

Is the almost 3 year old tall enough for Soarin'? Most aren't.

If your goal is to ride all 3, then you'll want to head straight to Frozen. You could divert from everyone and head to Soarin, but if you want to ride Frozen later you'll probably be looking at a 60+ min wait.

If you wanted to, best think would to try to get a FEA FP and then just hit TT and Soarin at rope drop.

Definitely RD FEA.
Soarin' does not have the line it used to since they added on.

Our plan for our trip in a couple weeks with 10 people ranging from 4yrs to 74yrs is RD FEA, TT FP+ 9:40am-10:40am, SE 10:40am-11:40am and hoping for get in line for Soarin' around 11:15am with hopefully a 45 minute or less wait.
When I went last September the longest I ever say Soarin' was 50 minutes and then it would drop dramatically all the sudden and then build up again. (Of course when I got in line it was a 50 minute wait and when I got off it was 15. Just my luck that I'd get in line when I did lol)

RD FEA and get there early.

My almost 3 year old was 39 inches with shoes a few weeks ago so he's probably not tall enough. I will have to do the rider switch most likely. I am hoping he grows but it's unlikely. He will be happy exploring while he waits though

Unfortunately, as much as I studied, I didn't realize how much more popular FEA would be over TT and soarin and now there aren't any left

 

[Ambehnke]

FEA for sure.

I'm confused. I thought World Showcase didn't open until after Future World, so can you really do Frozen before the others anyway? (Forgive me if I'm totally clueless! I don't have any frozen fans in my group, so I never even looked at this question.)

Frozen opens at the same time as the rest of the non-WS park.

Definitely FEA because from 9-11 the whole ride's capacity is devoted to the regular queue. They don't have FP line open until 11 at which time ride capacity shifts from 100 regular queue to 80 FP+ queue.

Does the ride in Mexico open at 9 also?

 

[scrappinginontario]

Now that Soarin' has a 3rd theater the lines are much more manageable

 

[Micca]

Go for a FEA FP+, RD Soarin'. The only way I'd RD FEA is if there were no FP avail for the entire trip.

I didn't know that. That is good to know!

When FEA first opened all of Mexico opened as well with regular park opening. But after about a month or so they changed it and now the pyramid doesn't open until 11am with the rest of Future World. I'm not 100% sure if the quick service in Mexico opens early, but I'm thinking no
