Soarin' Single Rider/Child Swap Question

[damaris13]

We plan to go into DCA at 9:30 to head to Soarin' (not doing LM and already have WOC PD FP). We will be hopping into the single rider line and doing child swap (I definitely wish they would find a way for DD to do this...she would LOVE it! oh well...) I am currently working out different plans with the beta version of Ridemax and need a few questions answered.

Here's the questions:
1. Will we have time in the 30 minutes before the park officially opens for both of us to ride?
2. Do you think we should go ahead and grab FP for Soarin' to ride it again before we leave? If it's anything like the WDW Soarin', we'd love to ride it again, if we have time (we just always have to spend 60 minutes in line, and we're not about to do that twice on a day when we hop to HS when we're done at Epcot). We're probably heading straight to TSMM right after this and will possibly grab FP for CS while we're there (which, yes, I know they have single rider lines...just doesn't hurt to have those FPs. I can always give them away )

As always, thank you for your advice and help. We got our Disney package yesterday. The countdown is on!!!

1) I don't think so. I remember people saying just grab a FP and line up for TSMM at the 9:30 mark instead of riding it since it'll eat up most if not all of the 30 minutes.

2) It is EXACTLY like the one in WDW.

Exactly? I thought I'd read it was different...geared more toward California, where the WDW has scenes from multiple places across the US. How in the world am I remembering this ride wrong? I think I foresee a trip to WDW in the near future.

Nope, it is exactly the same. The WDW is just scenes of California.
