So which do we do first?

[jessg]

So on our epcot day we chose FEA as our 1st tier FP. That means we will be rope dropping, so my question is which do we do first TT or Soarin? At first I was planning to do Soarin first then goto test track after but now im kind of rethinking it and thinking of doing TT then soarin due to the new theater. We are going to Epcot on 9-9

I would do Soarin at RD and the TT. You could always do single rider on TT if the line was too crazy.

We have found that the lines at Soaring tend to grow a bit quicker, but whichever you choose, there will be a wait for the other when you get off. TT has single rider lines if that is an option for you. TT also tends to go down a bit more, and does close for weather where Soaring does not. Sometimes it's a toss up.

Soarin' at Rope Drop.

Can you do the single rider line at TT?? It saves tons of time, and we met the BEST people on it in July!!

We always do TT first, then go over to Soarin'. My kids like some of the rides / stuff (Nemo, aquarium, Living with the Land) over by Soarin' so this makes the most sense for us rather than backtracking back to that area later in the day.

Single rider isnt really an optiom as we are going with kids 7&8 yr olds so yea I guess soarin is first. And we will wait for test track

AlthoughI was thinking of doing test track first also because of weather

Without question I'd go to Test Track first. The line goes slower than Soarin' simply because it takes time to design your car, and each car only holds 6 people. Plus, it's very popular and is weather dependent so people flock to it right away to get it in before rain comes. Soarin' isn't weather dependent and now with 3 theaters the line is quicker. We went to Soarin' nearly an hour after park open and the wait was still under 30 minutes. By then TT was over an hour.

Depends on the time of your FEA FP. Epcot - to me - is a BIG park and criss-crossing it is a real pain. We like to do everything by Soarin at one time - LWTL, Nemo, Crush, Figment, movie shorts - and not have to come back to that area later. If you have time to do everything over there before your FEA FP - then I'd head there first. If you don't - then head to TT.

And if you have two days - that can solve this problem, too.

Just one day unfortunately. FEA FP is at 12:35

FYI, kids 7 and over can actually ride alone and use Single Rider, so you can use it according to the rules. I totally understand if you aren't comfortable with that (or the kids aren't), but the option is there should you find it appropriate.

I also recommend Soarin' first, then TT, especially with kids. Both have long waits, but the in the Soarin' queue you tend to sand in the same place longer since it loads in large waves. TT will keep you moving forward, and interrupt with the car design room, so that makes it bit more tolerable even if the wait is long.
